Chapter 161: Turning the Corner

Hubu Yamen, Xia Jingyun has already led Baiyunbian away.

Wei Yuanzhi sat alone in the hall, holding a cup and drinking tea silently.

A henchman stood aside and whispered, "My lord, this Xia Gongzi, it seems."

Wei Yuanzhi turned his head to look at him, "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

"Small means, it seems to be a little too arrogant. My lord, you have spent so many days without being able to win over Guan Shilang, and he even directly said that he could subdue him in one night. This seems to be a little different from what is rumored to be today! ”

"It's not the same as it says." Wei Yuanzhi put down the teacup, "It's precisely because of today's rumors that it has fueled its momentum." After all, even the Lu family can calculate success, so they naturally feel that it is not a problem to win over a little waiter. It's just that some people underestimate the heroes of the world. ”

Immediately, he smiled again, "But it doesn't matter, this is at least in the household department, in the old man's one-third of an acre of land, if something goes wrong, the old man can also hold it for him, by the way, take a lesson, sharpen his mind, and don't let this Lingyun wood be crippled halfway." ”

"Your Excellency is wise."

In another side room of the yamen, Jin Youwen, the left attendant of the household department, sat behind a wide desk with a proud expression, put his legs on the desk, and turned his head to look at the subordinates who were standing respectfully on the side, "People are gone?" ”

The subordinate nodded hurriedly, "Just left, Master Shangshu personally sent it out." ”

Jin Youwen snorted, the official robe couldn't cover the wealth, "Did you hear what they said?" ”

The subordinate shook his head, "At that time, Lord Shangshu waved everyone away, and there was no way to ask. ”

"It doesn't matter." Jin Youwen stood up, "Those things are still the same thing, it's nothing more than what Concubine De said, and what should we, Lord Shangshu, do." ”

Thinking of the fact that Wei Yuanzhi sent someone to invite him to talk over today, he sneered disdainfully, "This Xia Jingyun is just bullying the reckless son of the Lu family, and after calculating the Lu family once, he thinks he is sorry, and he is trying in vain to mediate the affairs of the household department, and he doesn't pee and take care of himself!" ”

The subordinate smiled, "It's not that he can make a mirror, he makes a mirror himself." ”

"I heard that even Guan Hexiang didn't show up, I'm afraid it's because he is a monk, right?"

"Isn't it?" The subordinate smiled and said, "It is estimated that the old and the young are so angry that they can't eat dinner at night, right?" ”

"It's better to be angry to death!" Jin Youwen sneered, "Are all the cases to be discussed tomorrow ready?" ”

"Ready. Guangling Prefecture has already sent 50,000 taels of silver, and after the matter is completed, 50,000 taels will be sent. ”

"Okay, I'll do it tomorrow."

"Yes, sir."

"Gone, back home."

On the other side, on the carriage that was slowly leaving, Bai Yun looked at Xia Jingyun, "Are you going to go and pull that right attendant of the household department over now?" ”

Xia Jingyun nodded.

Bai Yunbian sneered, obviously not optimistic at all.

Xia Jingyun asked knowingly, "What?" Brother Lexian doesn't believe it? ”

Bai Yunbian glanced at him, "Isn't this nonsense?" Lord Wei is also a person who has been a state pastor in Yizhou, and he has been in the sea for a long time, and people have not been able to succeed for so long, you said that you can do it in one night, do you think that Lord Wei is not capable, or do you think that Guan Shilang is a fool? ”

"Oh! I forgot! Bai Yunbian slapped his head, "You don't think that you can use this to persuade that Toucheng if you hook up with the eldest lady of the Su family, right?" ”

Xia Jingyun seemed to smile, "What? Isn't it possible? ”

Bai Yunbian was both mocking and a little admonishing: "The matter between the wealthy families is not so simple, not to mention that you are not the aunt of the Su family now, even if you really become the aunt of the Su family in the future, people will not necessarily listen to you." There is a combination of interests between them, not a blood union, and the so-called Su family also refers to the interest group with the real Su family as the core. Not to mention an uncle, even the younger brother of the head of the family, he may not be able to dictate. ”

Xia Jingyun nodded suddenly, "Brother Bai Jinyu has good words, I have been taught." ”

Bai Yunbian leaned back slightly, looking proud.

After a moment, he wondered, "What are you still doing in a daze?" ”

"How?"

"Hurry up and turn the carriage around!"

Xia Jingyun smiled, "I still think it should be possible." ”

The corners of Bai Yunbian's mouth twitched, "With your face?" ”

"You're jealous of me!"

"Let's make a face!"

Xia Jingyun smiled, "Brother Le Xian, why don't we make a bet, if it happens, you invite me to Mingyu Tower to make up for a meal!" ”

"What if you just say that you lose!"

"I'll treat you to two meals!"

"Good!"

The car came all the way to Guan Shilang's mansion, Xia Jingyun did not get out of the car, but waited for a while.

It wasn't until Su Yuanshang received the news that everyone went over together.

Walking to the door, Xia Jingyun handed over the name post.

The porter raised his eyes and found that it was Xia Gongzi, who was famous in the elite circle in Zhongjing today, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly turned around and went in to report.

Soon, he came out apologetically, "Master Xia, my lord is unwell and has been on bed rest, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Bai Yunbian chuckled, a little schadenfreude in his smile.

Xia Jingyun's expression was calm, he pulled Su Yuanshang aside, and muttered a few words in a low voice.

Then Su Yuanshang stepped forward and handed over his name post.

The porter's eyes turned between Su Yuanshang and Xia Jingyun, and he couldn't understand what these two were doing, so why humiliate himself!

Immediately, he was embarrassed: "Your Excellency also heard it just now, my master is indeed unwell, and it is inconvenient to see guests, please go back." ”

Su Yuanshang smiled, "I was tired of going in to report it, and I said that the singer on the shore of the Daimyo Lake was visiting, and if the master of your mansion didn't see it, I wouldn't bother." ”

The porter looked Su Yuanshang up and down, and saw that although he was dressed in white, his bearing was extraordinary, and he came with Xia Gongzi, he didn't dare to refuse, said a little wait, and hurriedly entered the mansion.

Bai Yunbian bumped Xia Jingyun with his arm, "It's so hard to get in, can it really work?" ”

Xia Jingyun smiled, "Why don't we add some more bets?" ”

Bai Yunbian has watched Xia Jingyun all kinds of rebellion these days, and he has also learned to be obedient, not the person who was slapped in the face, snorted and didn't speak.

Then, he immediately rejoiced in his decision.

I saw a man running out in a hurry, and when he saw Su Yuanshang, his expression was excited, "Brother Chongjiu!" It's really you! ”

Su Yuanshang smiled and arched his hand, "Brother Daoyuan, don't come to harm!" ”

"What else can I do! It's you, you haven't come back since you left Beijing! At the beginning, on the shore of Daimyo Lake, you and I sang poetry and harmony, and it has been more than ten years in a blink of an eye. ”

"Aren't I coming back?" Su Yuanshang smiled and took the initiative to introduce: "This is Xia Jingyun, Xia Gongzi." ”

Guan Hexiang, the right attendant of the household department, looked at Xia Jingyun who was standing behind Su Yuanshang, and some surprise flashed in his expression, but he didn't speak, restrained his expression, and arched his hand towards Xia Jingyun, "Young Master Xia, I have just offended a lot, please come in to talk." ”

Xia Jingyun smiled, "Lord Guan is polite, don't be surprised to come here!" ”

And they all went in together.

Guan Hexiang and Su Yuanshang walked in front, and Xia Jingyun and Bai Yunbian walked behind.

Xia Jingyun whispered: "Brother Le Xian, can you promise me one thing?" ”

Bai Yunbian said: "The gentleman spit out the top secret, and the close friend can tell the truth with peace of mind." ”

What limerick are you reading now!

Xia Jingyun sneered, "It's what you see and hear for a while, don't say it to outsiders." ”

Bai Yunbian naturally thought of a possibility, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Afraid of losing face?" ”

Xia Jingyun tugged at the corners of his mouth, "You just think it's like this!" ”

"Don't worry."

With that, everyone walked into the main hall of Fuzhong.

Sitting down separately, Su Yuanshang directly explained his intentions, "Brother Daoyuan, I know you have many questions, but coming here tonight, the old things are a little delayed, and there is really something to discuss." ”

Guan Hexiang sighed, and then a smile still appeared on his face, "You, it's still so direct." ”

Su Yuanshang smiled bitterly, "There is a long way to go, and when this matter is settled, it will not be too late for you and me to catch up with the past." ”

This sentence is a bit of a saying, listening to the mouth of Guanhe Township, it is inevitable that you will feel that you actually put your matter above our personal feelings, since this is the case, then I have to do business.

However, this is also another manifestation of Su Yuanshang's open-mindedness, and his decision to kidnap Guan Hexiang with his personal feelings.

Guan Hexiang looked at Xia Jingyun, "Young Master Xia, are you the main here?" ”

Xia Jingyun nodded, "Count it as my idea." ”

"Young Master Xia is here to let me support Lord Wei?"

"Not bad."

"Brother Chongjiu is by your side, is it his personal meaning, or the meaning of the Su family?"

"Of course, Mr. Su's own meaning."

Mr. Su.

Guan Hexiang had some speculation in his heart, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "This official acts with his own rules and regulations, so he won't bother with Gongzi Xia." ”

Xia Jingyun smiled, took out a token from his arms, and handed it to Guan Hexiang, "Don't be in a hurry to speak, Lord Guan, you might as well take a look at this first." ”

Guan Hexiang took it disapprerovingly, only glanced at it, and stared at it.

Turning the token over and over, he looked at it carefully, closed his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, reopened his eyes, respectfully handed the token back with both hands, and glanced at the white clouds.

Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "It's okay." ”

Guan Hexiang nodded, "Young Master Xia, what do you need me to do next, you can directly order." ”

Su Yuan was still thoughtful, Bai Yunbian's eyes widened, and he swallowed his saliva.
