The courtyard named Yishui on the outskirts of Yandu has been around for some years.

It was even many years earlier than the Qinggai who had been in Jiading for seven years before entering Luo.

It is said that this mansion was built by the ancestor of the Tang family in Jinchang with the help of a merchant surnamed Yi in Huizhou, and the Tang family specially named this mansion after him in order to thank this Huizhou merchant.

And for Tang Xiujin, the nominal young head of the Tang family in Jinchang and the actual ruler of the family, it was very easy for this mansion to hide some unsightly things.

At the age of thirteen, he worshiped Yao Xi as his teacher, at the age of eighteen, he entered the Hanlin Academy as an edict, and at the age of twenty, his grandfather took charge of the family.

He has never lost.

Tang Xiujin took a sip of Mingqian tea unhurriedly, and asked slowly, "Shen Jun has been to Gu Chang'an's Mansion?" ”

Yu Qing replied, "Back to the young master, I have been there more than once. ”

Tang Xiujin frowned: "Has he taken a fancy to Miss Gu San?" ”

This issue is too sensitive, and it is not something that Yu Qing can judge as a shadow guard.

He didn't speak.

Tang Xiujin sighed, he didn't expect Yu Qing, the elm head, to give any definite answers.

In fact, even he himself doesn't understand one thing.

Does he like Shen Zhixi more, or use it more.

Maybe both.

But seeing that Gu Yuan and Shen Zhixi were getting closer and closer, he was a little difficult to accept in his heart.

At this moment, the shadow guard guarding the gate of the courtyard hurriedly came to report: "Young master, Ning Gongzi is here." ”

Tang Xiujin nodded and said, "Then invite him in." ”

When Ning Fengzi came in, Tang Xiujin was sitting on a futon with his eyes closed, pinching a trick with each hand, as if he was praying for something.

Ning Fengzi is also a Taoist priest himself, but he was not too surprised by Tang Xiujin's abnormal behavior, but he also pinched a trick and sat on the ground.

Yu Qing brought over a futon, bowed and retreated.

After a long time, Tang Xiujin raised his eyes to look at Ning Fengzi, who was meditating on the opposite side, and said slowly: "It's better to come early than to come by chance, you have caught up this time." ”

Ning Fengzi smiled lightly: "Old rules, three news, you promise me one thing." ”

The two of them have been trading for a long time, and it sounds like Ning Fengzi is a loss, but both of them know that this is a fair deal.

Tang Xiujin got the news he wanted to hear, and Ning Fengzi got Tang Xiujin's full help.

It won't be too much of a loss, especially Ning Fengzi.

Every time he made a request, it was difficult to do it, and Tang Xiujin couldn't refuse.

The Tang family's shadow guard itself was difficult to control, and if he lost Ning Fengzi as an important source of information, all his advantages would be lost in the court battle.

Tang Xiujin laughed softly: "But if you ask for something, as long as it's not too excessive, I will help you do it." ”

Ning Fengzi took out the famous wine he brought and filled a glass for him and Tang Xiujin, "This wine is called Luofuchun, and it is rumored that it was brewed by the head of Xuanwu Mountain in the Qingyuan Dynasty. You may have heard of his prestige as the top of the martial arts rankings, but you don't know that he is also an old drunkard, the kind of person who is addicted to alcohol. ”

Tang Xiujin took a sip of wine and commented: "This wine is very strong, I'm really not used to drinking as a person who doesn't drink much, Your Excellency should be down to business." ”

Ning Fengzi said with a smile: "First thing, Gu Changan is dead. ”

"Unexpectedly, it was you and Zhao Xuanran who killed him." Tang Xiujin's face was pale, and it seemed that human life was almost trivial for him, "As soon as he dies, Gu Yuan will have to return to Beijing." ”

"Yes and not all." Ning Fengzi raised his head and poured a sip of wine, and then said, "Gu Changan went up to the little emperor before he died, and the daughter of the Gu family will no longer marry into the royal family, and the little emperor will approve." ”

"With His Royal Highness's help, the emperor will not embarrass His Highness if he wants to." Tang Xiujin said lightly.

"You still have some feelings for her." Ning Fengzi smiled.

Tang Xiujin shook his head and said nothing.

"You are different from Gu Yuan, Gu Yuan and the eldest princess are real life-saving graces, but there are too many interests between you and her." Ning Fengzi persuaded him with good words, "Stop it, Tang Xiujin." ”

Tang Xiujin couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Say a word, you can live for another thousand years." ”

Ning Fengzi sighed helplessly.

He finally found out in his conscience that he wanted to pull this alliance, but found that he was also a dead eye.

"Then do you know that Gu Nianqiu is obviously the second daughter, why is she called the third lady?" In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Ning Fengzi changed the topic.

Tang Xiujin glanced at him strangely, "It has nothing to do with you." ”

Ning Fengzi: "......"

"Okay, second thing." Ning Fengzi said slowly, "Someone is going to do something to Cui Xianchun." ”

Tang Xiujin frowned and said, "Who?" ”

"It should still be those who have fallen off the list, and they also have support in the DPRK."

"Are you talking about Fang Congzhe?" Tang Xiujin pondered for a moment, "Fang Congzhe and Cui Xianchun have some personal enmity. ”

Ning Fengzi frowned slightly: "Why haven't I heard that the Bianliang Fang family and the Qinghe Cui family have a grudge?" ”

"Only the clansmen of the two families and a few families who are close to them know about this." Tang Xiujin explained, "Fang Congzhe's father, Fang Yixi, died under Cui Xianchun's plot, there is such a layer of grudge, it doesn't matter what camp it is. ”

Ning Fengzi knew that if this matter was made public, Cui Xianchun would be ruined nine times out of ten, and Tang Xiujin, as Cui Xianchun's ally, would always have to pull him: "The third thing is related to you." ”

"What?" Tang Xiujin raised his eyebrows.

"Concubine Hu has returned to Beijing."

Ning Fengzi's understatement made Tang Xiujin immediately alert.

Concubine Hu was born in the Hu family in Huizhou and has an in-law relationship with the Tang family.

Now that she suddenly returned to Beijing, it was an excellent opportunity for the Tang family, and it would also form a situation that would restrain the Shen family's royal family.

Both he and Shen Zhixi knew that when Concubine Hu returned to Beijing, the first thing she did was to personally host the marriage of the little emperor and the eldest princess.

With her intervention, Shen Zhixi's marriage may not be so easy.

The eldest princess is still like this, and the young Shen Heng is even more not.

Thinking of this, Tang Xiujin got up and said, "Prepare the car." ”

Ning Fengzi seemed to have guessed what he was going to do: "The palace gate has already been keyed, do you want me to smash the door in?" ”

Tang Xiujin hooked his lips and smiled, "Don't forget, I control the Tang family in my hands, and it's just a palace gate, and I can't stop it." ”

Ning Fengzi nodded: "It has nothing to do with me whether you can go in or not, what I should have said has already been said, what did you promise me to do?" ”

Tang Xiujin smiled: "You just want to rebuild a Luoyin Building." ”

"More than rebuilding." Ning Fengzi smiled, "Give me two months, and I want to make this Qinglou a good place to listen to the news again." ”

Tang Xiujin bowed slightly, and asked again, "Su Jiumo and Jing Xizi have come to Beijing?" ”

"There are about two days to go."

Tang Xiujin couldn't help laughing.

There was a hint of coldness in the smile.

The walls of Yandu are very high, and a city of 49 can set off stormy waves.

You can't see it from the outside.
