"Maybe you don't understand, when I was in Kangling, I obviously had the opportunity to kill Jiang Xia, why didn't I do it in the end, but helped Jiang Xia kill Xiao Qing, right?"

"The reason is very simple, at that time, I was not completely sure to kill Jiang Xia. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoSecond, even if I can kill Jiang Xia, I will only fall into the abyss. With Jiang Xia's position in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that it will not be long before I kill him and be assassinated by his subordinates. And without the help of his men, even if I barely ascended to the throne, I would not have been able to secure that position. ā€

"How good is this now? I used the hands of the Tatars to destroy Jiang Xia, and at the same time won the support of Jiang Xia's men. Who else in the world is more suitable to be an emperor than me? Even if I don't covet the throne now, they have to beg me to ascend the throne.

What does it mean to be destined for heaven? This is the destiny of heaven! It was so good that the blizzard came, and God really helped me!"

Zhu Zaijiang played with a purple jade short sword and spoke in a low tone. It wasn't until the end of the conversation that his voice began to rise slightly. At this moment, he has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth. On the surface, he is still like a beautiful son who is as warm as jade. But this piece of jade, more like it was stolen from a thousand-year-old tomb, is full of gloomy atmosphere.

Zhu Zaijiang didn't guess wrong at all, now Wang Shouren and the ordinary old people of the Jiang system are discussing how to ask Zhu Zaijiang to restore and re-ascend the throne as emperor.

And Zhu Zaijiang's side sent all the royalists to Tatar, so that they could do their best to find Jiang Xia's body. If Jiang Xia hadn't died, he must not be allowed to return to the Central Plains alive.

So at this moment, where is Jiangxia?

In the center of Luoxia Lake outside Fuzhou, more than a dozen boats are surrounding a three-story flower boat, and on the deck of the flower boat, a woman in green with a white veil mask is plucking the strings. The beautiful sound of the piano flows from her throbbing fingers, giving people an ethereal, distant feeling.

There were many men standing on the bows of more than a dozen boats around, all of them looking at the woman playing the piano on the flower boat with an obsessive expression, although they couldn't see their faces clearly, but the eyes of those men were still burning. Not because of anything else, just because this woman is the head brand of Jinfeng Building in Fuqing County, Hua Yuerong.

As soon as the piano stopped, a lazy man's voice came from the compartment of the flower boat: "Yuerong, come in, save those stinky men outside from staring at you." ā€

"Yes. After Hua Yue answered, she got up from her seat, and then picked up the guqin and walked into the cabin.

Inside the cabin, there were four young men. Each of them was accompanied by a beautiful young woman, but beside the man in the crimson robe in the center sat two women.

Whether it was in terms of the order of seating, or the number of girls who accompanied him, this man must have been the person of the highest status in the cabin.

And in fact, it is true, as the only son born to the wife of Xia Jialun, the magistrate of Fuqing County, it may be difficult for the entire Fuqing County to find someone with a higher status than Xia Lin among his peers.

Behind Xia Lin, stood several servants he had brought out of his home. On such an occasion, the young master came out with his servants to see it, and he was naturally in good spirits. But there was only one tall servant with a handsome face, and his eyes were unfocused, as if he were sleepwalking.

This servant had just been bought by the Xia family from a servant dealer, and it was said that he had forgotten his name and origin. Xia Lin saw that he looked okay, so he brought him out to see and understand.

Since the servant had forgotten his name, Xia Lin named him: "He An." ā€

Laugh at...... He An gasped, he turned his head to look to the side, only to see Jia Ding Laifu staring at his iconic bull's eyes, and whispered viciously: "Be mental, lose the face of the young master, see if I don't reward you with a whip." ā€

He An's waist twisted a little, so that Laifu would not continue to pinch the tender flesh on his waist. Then I adjusted my posture, and my body finally stood up a lot straighter.

In a large family, the family does not do what they want to do. Servants must perform well in order to be promoted to the rank of householder. So in the face of Laifu's oppression, He An could only endure it and didn't dare to fight him.

At this moment, Xia Lin smiled and said to Hua Yuerong: "Miss Yuerong's piano skills are really getting more and more sophisticated, young master just now, I just made a poem, and I hope Miss Yuerong can taste it." ā€

After speaking, Xia Lin took out a blank piece of paper from his sleeve, handed it to his back and said, "Laifu, read it to Miss Yuerong." ā€

"Yes, young master. Rifle walked forward with a hunched body and took the blank piece of paper with both hands. After taking a step back, Laifu unfolded the white paper, and saw that there were indeed four lines of words written on it, but it was more appropriate to say that it was four curved lines than four lines.

Laifu had a big head and wanted to guess what his young master had written, but he couldn't guess at all. Because those four lines of characters don't even have basic glyphs at all.

Xia Lin saw that Laifu hadn't read it, and he was suddenly a little displeased: "Laifu, what are you doing in a daze?

Laifu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and cold sweat broke out on his head. After he replied hesitantly, he said: "The word young master has the style of the grass saint Zhang everyone, and the little ignorance is unrecognizable for a while. Please let the young master think about it for a while, and then read it?"

"You idiot, I've been with Young Master Bai for so many years. Go on, go on, young master, I'll give you sixty breaths of time, if you can't read it when the time comes, then the young master can only read it himself......"

Xia Lin didn't continue to say the following words, but Laifu understood. If he really let Xia Lin read the poems himself, then I'm afraid that his own family can be regarded as the end, and it may be better to be demoted back to be a servant again. If it's a little worse, maybe you will be swept away by the Xia family.

If he really leaves the Xia family, then the livelihood of his hometown family may be completely lost.

The sweat on Laifu's forehead was the size of soybeans, dripping down to the ground one after another. He carefully scanned the blank sheet of paper several times, but finally couldn't make out the slightest clue.

He An on the side shook his head secretly, but he had already understood that the so-called "poem" that Xia Lin gave to Laifu was simply four ghost drawings, and it was not a word.

He's a straw bag, it's okay to tease birds and dogs and drink flowers and wine, let him recite poems against him, I'm afraid he won't even be able to write a limerick poem. It's just that every time Hua Yuerong finishes playing a tune, several sons at the table will come out and write a poem to praise her piano skills.

Xia Lin didn't want to lose face in front of Hua Yuerong and the sons of the merchants, so he scribbled to force his face. It is estimated that Laifu can't read poetry for a while, and he will lose his temper with Laifu. And then lightly revealed the matter of composing poetry.

In this way, he wrote the poem, but no one knows whether it is good or bad. not only saved face, but also did not reveal his shortcomings.

So to sum up, the black pot of Laifu is back.

Laifu watched it for about ten breaths, and finally reacted and asked someone to help. He took the poem to He An and the four servants, and said, "Quick, you four take a look and see if you can read this poem." ā€

He An didn't even have the interest to look at it, and the other three pretended to look at it a few times, and then shook their heads. As the subordinates of Xia Mansion, although they can recognize a few words, such an "abstract" font is by no means recognizable to them.

Laifu's eyes were full of despair, and he muttered, "It's over, it's all over......"

He An couldn't help but shake his head in his heart when he saw Laifu's terrified appearance, he reached out and took the blank paper from Laifu's hand, and whispered to Laifu: "I'll read it for you, but you have to pay me five taels of silver as a reward." ā€

"Five taels of silver?" Laifu exclaimed, as a family member, the monthly silver for a month is only three taels. Isn't five taels of silver equal to two months' worth of silver for oneself?

"There's no time, do you give it? don't read it to yourself. He An gestured to hand the paper back to Laifu, and Laifu hurriedly took a step back, as if the paper was not paper, but a terrifying tiger's mouth.

Laifu swallowed his saliva and whispered to He An: "I promise you, but I don't have so many ...... on me."

Laifu was about to say "not so much cash", but before the word "silver" could be spoken, He An said: "Before getting on the ship, you asked us if we had seen five taels of silver Daming treasure banknotes. ā€

"You ......" Rifle suddenly stuttered, and he felt the urge to slap himself. When he was still hesitating, Young Master Xia had already shouted: "Laifu, you idiot haven't recognized Young Master Ben's words yet?"

Laifu suddenly struck a spirit, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and then quickly touched a Daming treasure banknote with a denomination of five taels of silver from his arms and stuffed it into He An's hand.

He An took the dragon ticket and put it in his arms, then walked to Xia Lin's side with the piece of paper that Xia Lin had drawn a ghost talisman, and said with a sigh: "Good poetry, really good poetry." Please also ask the young master to give grace, the villain really can't suppress the reverence in his heart, and wants to recite this poem for the young master, and hopes that the young master will allow it. ā€

Xia Lin obviously knew that his poems were boring, he turned his head to look at He An, and said with a hint of warning in his eyes: "Okay, let you read it." Read it carefully, don't read the young master's poem wrong, can you understand?"

"Understood, understood. Young Master Xie gave the villain this opportunity, and the villain must remember it well. After speaking, He An pretended to cough dryly twice, and then opened his mouth to read: "The big strings are noisy like torrential rain, and the small strings are like whispers." Noisy and staggered, big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate. The bottom of the flower is slippery, and it is difficult to go under the drift ice of the secluded spring. The ice fountain is cold and astringent, and the condensation will not be silent for a while. Don't have gloom and hatred, silence is better than sound at this time. ā€

After He An finished reading this poem, the first person who was stunned was Xia Lin. Although he couldn't understand the meaning of the poem He An's recitation, it sounded quite bluffing.

When he reacted and looked at everyone, he found that the few boys who had just watched the show now seemed to be pointed, and they were stunned and didn't move on the spot, and even forgot to close their slightly open mouths.

Hua Yuerong, who was holding the guqin in her arms, suddenly fell from her hand to the ground. The humming sound of the strings moving in unison woke everyone up, and everyone immediately applauded vigorously and shouted, "Good poetry, good poetry......"

At this moment, Hua Yuerong also picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine into the wine glass, she walked in front of Xia Lin with the wine glass, stretched out her hand to untie the veil on her face, and slightly brushed Xia Lin and said: "Thank you Xia Gongzi for saying 'Don't have sorrow and hatred, silence is better than sound at this time.'" Xia Gongzi is a bosom friend, and the little woman toasts Xia Gongzi with a cup. ā€

Hua Yuerong's actions surprised everyone even more, you must know that Hua Yuerong debuted in Jinfeng Tower for six years, and has only shown her true face twice so far.

Once it was Hou Shaobai, a talented man in Jiangzhou, who attracted Hua Yuerong to show up and meet with a seven-word quatrain. Once was the carefree Marquis Zhao asked to see his daughter with the wind, so he could see the beauty. In front of her, it was the first time that Hua Yuerong showed her face in front of so many people.

After Xia Lin was stunned for a moment, he suddenly felt a lot of face, and happily picked up his wine glass and said to Hua Yuerong: "Miss Yuerong is so polite, I respect Miss Yuerong......" r1058
