Chapter 206: A Strange Invitation
"It is said that the Jiang family is domineering, but now it seems that it is not necessarily the case!"
Back at the Hou Mansion, Chen Fugui smiled while helping to carry things down from the car.
Jiang Yuhu accepted all the gifts they pulled, but they returned them several times the things, and it was still the kind that they couldn't do if they didn't want it.
Xia Jingyun smiled, "The Jiang family's style is simple and direct, that is the style cultivated in the army, and it is also the need to lead the troops, but if you think that the Jiang family is a reckless man with a straight intestine, it is a big mistake." A family that can stand on the top of the capital for decades, and who can hold such a heavy army but live in harmony with the king, can not be summed up simply and crudely. ”
"Humph!" Bai Yunbian pursed his mouth.
Seeing him like this, Xia Jingyun felt that it was time to find out something, so he smiled and said: "Brother Le Xian, just like the Jade Tiger Boy is targeting you, in fact, he is using his way to help you correct some habits." Let's not talk about whether he has that qualification, and we won't talk about whether the means are appropriate, but you must know that this Zhongjing City is full of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, if he still rashly offends others as before, I am afraid that Ling Zun will not be able to hold it at that time. ”
The Bai family guards on the side also laughed and explained, "Yes, Childe, it is our blessing to have a friend like General Jiang who will not be angry with you and has good intentions!" ”
Bai Yunbian turned his head and glared at him, "Do you want this blessing for you?" ”
The guards were stunned, and Bai Yunbian threw his sleeves in.
Xia Jingyun and Su Yuanshang looked at each other and smiled, and followed into the mansion.
After Feng Xiuyun rectified the internal affairs of the Hou Mansion, she began to help clean up the private house that Concubine De had prepared for Xia Jingyun.
Although Xia Jingyun felt that it was good to live in the Hou Mansion, but after thinking about it, the stall would be big in the future, such as Su Yuanshang, Chen Fugui and other family members came, or recruited other people, it was indeed not good to live in the Hou Mansion all the time, so he agreed.
Therefore, Feng Xiuyun is basically not in the Hou Mansion these days, and Xia Jingyun can also read books without distraction.
Gongsun Jing was busy ushering in the send-off and doing some necessary communication in the Hou Mansion, although it was useless in Xia Jingyun's opinion, but he also didn't say much, and he went.
Sitting in the main hall, Xia Jingyun stretched his waist, "This matter is over, there is nothing to be busy with in the short term, just wait for the eighteenth day of the first month, participate in the Spring Festival banquet of Guozijian, and finally have a few days of continuous rest." ”
Su Yuanshang smiled and teased, "It's only been more than a month since I entered Beijing, and the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, the Prison Department, Tu Mountain, and the states are fighting. I'm afraid you are the most slack-off candidate in the world. ”
Xia Jingyun shrugged his shoulders, "There's no way, we're just a few people, and things are one after another, and they're all big things." ”
Su Yuanshang held the teacup, gently scraped the foam, and said softly: "However, we still have a problem that has not been solved. ”
Xia Jingyun looked at him, immediately remembered, and nodded, "Yes, I have a hunch, from Surabaya Prefecture to Yunmengzhou, and then to this time, the people behind it are all the same, and the techniques are too similar." ”
Su Yuanshang spoke: "But we don't have a clue. ”
Xia Jingyun narrowed his eyes and looked out of the house, "Don't worry, he will make a move." ”
"That's it!" He exhaled a breath of turbidity, stood up and shook his shoulders, "I'm going to Wen Shu, and the daily life of the house will be handed over to Mr. Su." ”
Although Su Yuanshang is not too guarded now, his motivation is much greater than before, and he nodded with a smile when he heard the words.
But neither of them expected that they didn't wait for the trick of the man behind the scenes, but waited for an invitation from an unexpected person.
Xia Jingyun, who had just sat down and read the book for less than an hour, looked at the invitation in his hand, confused, "Young Master Qin? Invite me to dinner? Is it the one from the Qin Xiang family? ”
Gongsun Jing, who didn't know when he would come back, looked excited, "Childe, isn't there a rumor in Beijing these days that I want to carry you into one of the four sons of Zhongjing, and now Qin Gongzi, the first son of Zhongjing, is obviously recognizing your strength, as long as this meal is eaten, you will be the real fourth prince of Zhongjing!" ”
Xia Jingyun glanced at him with a wooden face, "And then?" Is it possible to seal a wife and a shadow or a few stones per month? ”
Gongsun Jing:
He was about to answer, but he muttered to himself, as if there was really no real benefit?
That's not right, that's the fourth son of Zhongjing!
Gongsun Jing was confused for a while, "Then son, are you not going to go?" ”
"Wouldn't it offend everyone if you didn't go, and you still have to go."
Xia Jingyun put down the book, flicked the invitation card lightly, and said with a smile: "I'm still very curious about this Qin Gongzi." ”
Su Yuanshang stepped in at this time, "What about your studies?" ”
Xia Jingyun spread his hands helplessly, "Resign yourself to fate." ”
Gongsun Jing opened his mouth to speak, and Su Yuanshang patted him on the shoulder, "Do you believe this?" ”
Gongsun Jing shook his head with a wry smile helplessly, feeling that he was no different from a fool in front of these two people.
The time written on the invitation was Youshi, but just after the halfway point of Shen, the Qin family's carriage stopped in front of the Jiang'an Marquis Mansion.
The porter hurriedly invited him into the house, and Gongsun Jing personally accompanied him.
Not long after, Xia Jingyun, who got the news, had no choice but to hurriedly greet him.
Qin Sichao got up and saluted Xia Jingyun, a little apologetic, "Spring is coming, there is a lot of trouble, please don't blame Gao Yang." ”
Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "You invite me to dinner, and I don't spend money, there's nothing strange about it." ”
Qin Sichao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "It is rumored that Gao Yang often acts out of the ordinary, but now that I look at it, the rumors are true." ”
Xia Jingyun also smiled, "The rumor also said that I am beautiful and handsome, and I am ashamed of the beautiful girl in Beijing." ”
Qin Sichao was dumbfounded and hesitated, "This is also a rumor. ”
"That's it!" Xia Jingyun laughed and arched his hand, "I've heard Brother Qin's name for a long time, and when I see it today, it's really famous." The previous ridicule, Brother Qin should not blame. ”
Qin Sichao was worthy of being famous in the capital city for his outstanding virtues, and shook his head lightly when he heard this, "If I don't blame it, it would be a bit hypocritical." ”
Just when Gongsun Jing suddenly became nervous, Qin Sichao smiled again and said, "But if I am angry because of this, it will inevitably be too small-bellied." ”
He looked at the sky, "It's still early, why don't you and I walk slowly in the city in the same car, and along the way, we can introduce the scenery of the capital to Gaoyang Haosheng." ”
Xia Jingyun arched his hand and said: "I don't dare to ask for it." ”
The two got into the car and left, followed by Chen Fugui and Qin Sichao's guards on horseback.
After talking about the customs and customs along the way, Qin Sichao suddenly pointed to a shop on the side of the road, "Gao Yang, you see, this is the largest jewelry brand in the capital, Shiji." ”
Xia Jingyun sighed with emotion, "Carved beams and painted buildings, all of them are powerful and noble, and they are really luxurious." ”
"This is the Shijia industry, and since yesterday, this store has been owned by the inner library."
Xia Jingyun was stunned, and then saw Qin Sichao looking at him with a smile, "I don't know if the rumors are true or false this time?" ”
Xia Jingyun blinked his innocent eyes, and there was clear doubt in his eyes, "What does this have to do with me?" ”
"Then it seems that this rumor is false." Qin Sichao raised his hand and apologized, "I have no intention of tempting, but I am quite curious, and I will make a toast to make amends later." ”
Xia Jingyun suddenly smiled and said: "You and I travel together like this, will it be interpreted by someone with a heart to have a different meaning?" ”
Qin Sichao shook his head lightly, "Everyone in Zhongjing City knows that my father and I have always been busy with each other, and there is no involvement in the court. ”
"Can it still be like this?"
Qin Sichao's smile was gentle and sincere, "Let Gao Yang see a smile." ”
After a while, the carriage slowly turned into an inconspicuous alley, and then drove straight through a side door, and stopped in the open space within the wall.
Qin Sichao got out of the car and said with a smile: "Although Mingyulou is good, I want to come to Gaoyang to have a chance to eat, and here, it can be regarded as a favorite place in the next place, quiet and quiet, and at the same time secret, of course, the most important thing is that the food tastes good." ”
Xia Jingyun raised his eyes and looked around, only to see the surrounding rockery gardens scattered, and shrubs covered, as well as early spring flowers, swaggering in the branches in twos and threes, all the scenery at a glance, no human figure, no human voice.
If Mingyu Tower is the top hotel in Xia Jingyun's concept, this is a private club full of style.
"It's really a good place, Brother Qin is so attentive, I'm flattered."
"I can have a little reputation in the capital, the most important thing is, of course, my father's prestige, but for myself, it's just the four words of sincerity. Gao Yang, this way, please. ”
The steward here also hurried over, and led everyone to turn around and come to a hut covered by bamboo.
Sitting on the opposite side, the wine and food were naturally served quickly.
Qin Sichao raised his glass, "I have no other intention to invite you today, I just want to get to know Gao Yang officially." With you in Zhongjing City, there must be many scenery and stories. ”
Xia Jingyun followed and raised his glass, "Thank you for your attention, borrow Jun Jiyan, may Brother Qin have the future and everything will go well." ”
After a glass of wine, Qin Sichao said with a smile: "Spring is approaching, I am sorry to disturb Gao Yang's review of Wenshu, so today, I invited another person to be present, or Gao Yang's old friend, Gao Yang would like to see it?" ”
Xia Jingyun raised his eyebrows, "Old friend? ”
Qin Sichao smiled and waved his hand to the staff waiting on the side, and after a while, a fragrant wind hit in the spring, and a beautiful shadow was conspicuous among the early spring flowers.
Xia Jingyun looked at Qin Sichao with a puzzled expression, who is this person?
Qin Sichao also looked at Xia Jingyun with a look of surprise, don't you know?
Fortunately, at this time, the beautiful woman was blessed and lightly opened her lips, "Ning Bing has seen Gongzi Qin and Gongzi Xia." ”
