Chapter 293: The incense of Guangdu Temple
At this point, Su Shi had no choice but to walk towards the hexagonal pavilion. He walked very slowly, but his footsteps were very loud, but Zhou Jin still didn't react.
Su Shi walked into the hexagonal pavilion and came to Zhou Jin, only to see Zhou Jin's expression dull, looking into the distance with empty eyes, and he didn't seem to notice that Su Shi had come to his side at all.
"I know you're unhappy, but Your Majesty's golden mouth has been opened, and where is the turn of others to speak."
He explained softly while secretly observing Zhou Jin's face, but her expression did not change at all.
"What's more, this is also a piece of His Majesty's love for you......"
Before he finished speaking, he only heard Zhou Jin say coldly: "If you are still ready to say this nonsense to me, you can leave." ”
Hearing Zhou Jin speak, although his tone was not good, Su Shi still smiled, sat down straight, and then sighed.
"Actually, I'm very opposed to arranged marriages, so I don't agree with His Majesty's decision."
Zhou Jin glared at him fiercely: "Then when my father raised this matter last night, you didn't even have one...... Not a word of objection was uttered. ”
"Because I know that my objection is a fart in the eyes of His Majesty." Su Shi smiled bitterly: "Have you ever thought that your family affairs have nothing to do with me......
At this time, Zhou Jin's face changed greatly, and Su Shi hurriedly explained: "What I said is okay means that in the eyes of others, I definitely hope that you will be happy for the rest of your life." ”
Although this was not the answer Zhou Jin wanted, when he saw Su Shi in a hurry to explain, his face softened slightly, but he still couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Why would Your Majesty mention your family affairs in front of me? I am going to marry you to the eldest grandson of the second son of the Rongguo Mansion. ”
Zhou Jin was trapped by love, and when he heard that Zhou Yi was about to marry himself to the eldest grandson last night, he was already panicked in his heart, and when he saw Su Shi on the side, he didn't make any statement, and he was even more sad in his heart, where could he still calm down and think about things.
But now when I hear Su Shi say this, I also feel strange in my heart.
"Why did Father do this?"
Although Zhou Jin wanted to know the answer, although his face was still faint, his tone had eased a lot.
"You didn't hear His Majesty say that he would announce it on a later date, and the words "Chosen Day" are meant to remind me."
Zhou Jin was taken aback, and couldn't care about getting angry with Su Shi anymore, his eyes widened: "Remind you?" What reminds you? ”
"Remind me that if I can't protect you, he will find another way, and the Rongguo Mansion is the best choice he can arrange for you."
Zhou Jin's lips were half open, and he couldn't speak for a long time. Su Shi looked at the scenery of the garden and said slowly: "That is to say, if I can find out Pei Xun's conspiracy before July 17, your marriage with the eldest grandson will be over." ”
"Today is May 12."
Su Shi nodded lightly and said lightly: "There are still two months left." And two months is not a long time, and it is not a short time. ”
Zhou Jin suddenly lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to look into Su Shi's eyes: "You...... Are you sure? ”
Su Shi's eyes became deeper, and he said slowly: "Although I have only seen Pei Xun once, I can feel that this person is extremely terrifying, so I don't dare to guarantee you anything." ”
Although Su Shi did not make a promise to Zhou Jin, her heart settled down, and the whole person calmed down. At this time, seeing Su Shi's unkempt appearance, he completely lost his previous chic temperament, and he felt distressed for a while, and couldn't help but be a little funny.
"How did you end up like this?"
Su Shi couldn't smile bitterly for a while: "It's not for the blessing of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I don't know from which corner you swept out this carriage, and the bones of my whole body were broken in a flash." ”
Zhou Jin looked at him angrily: "You are dedicated to your father, why do you want to hide it from me?" Don't you know...... Sister Qin Nan is so worried about you. And last night he was silent like a nerd. ”
Although she mentioned Qin Nan, her face couldn't help but turn red.
Su Shi naturally didn't argue with her, but just looked at her helplessly. Zhou Jin turned his head to look at him, as if his anger had not subsided, but there was a little weakness in his eyes.
Under the direct sunlight, the garden was full of flowers, but where did Zhou Jin still have the heart to appreciate it, and then she found that only she and Su Shi were left in the garden, although she was happy, she also felt a little flustered.
However, Su Shi didn't have this kind of thought, because the reason why he was in a hurry to find Zhou Jin was because he had something serious to discuss. At this time, seeing that Zhou Jin's anger had disappeared, he muttered: "Your Majesty has been bewitched by Pei Xun, so it is inevitable that you will be a little forward-looking, and I need you to help me do a few things now." ”
Zhou Jin's tone became serious and solemn when he heard Su Shi, knowing that he must have something important to explain, and hurriedly asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”
"Who is in charge of the Qianqiu firm now?"
Zhou Jin was slightly stunned: "Is there a problem with the business name?" ”
Su Shi shook his head: "I heard Master Confucius talk about the current situation of the business, it is much better than I expected, who came up with those plans?" ”
"Most of the plans were proposed by Xiaolan's sister." Zhou Jin replied immediately.
Su Shi was not surprised, and said slowly: "The business matters will be handed over to Xiaolan, and tell her not to stop, and she must try to win over more families in these two months." In order to achieve this purpose, you can give them as much profit as possible. ”
"So what should I do?"
Su Shi Zhengse said: "There are three things you have to do now. The first is to ask His Majesty for an order to temporarily take over the secret guard, so that we don't have to ask for orders for everything when we mobilize the secret guard, and the opportunity will be delayed. ”
Zhou Jin nodded lightly: "What about after taking over the secret guard?" ”
"Investigate two things first, the first is Guangdu Temple."
"Guangdu Temple?" Zhou Jin was surprised: "Why do you want to investigate the Guangdu Temple? ”
Su Shi said lightly: "I suspect that Pei Hyun's people are using Guangdu Temple to communicate with people hidden in the palace. ”
Seeing that Zhou Jin still didn't understand, Su Shi smiled and said, "Since the beacon can deliver news, the incense can naturally too." Guangdu Temple is only separated from the palace by a river, and the green smoke is straight up here, and the people in the palace can see it clearly. ”
Zhou Jin still couldn't understand: "Guangdu Temple is full of incense every day, if they use incense as a message, how can the people hidden in the palace tell the difference?" ”
"All I can think of is the color of the incense." Su Shi sighed: "If you add a certain pigment when burning incense to produce different colors, you can naturally also pass on the message." ”
Zhou Jin's face changed, and he seemed to have an understanding: "Now anyone in Guangdu Temple can enter the temple to burn incense, and the place where the incense is burned is on the square, so naturally it will not attract attention, which is indeed a good method." ”
"So the secret guards first have to investigate whether there is a strange color of incense rising in the Guangdu Temple, and if there is, it means that they are very likely to pass on the news through this method."
