He really can't play Go, Shen Hong can't play if he doesn't let him, but if Shen Hong lets him, it feels like he is just falling down, and in the end Lin Piao still changed back to backgammon, and Shen Hong can only accept his orders to accompany him.

Because of the rain at night, it was a little stuffy, and the two of them were eating cut watermelon in a game of backgammon, Lin Piao unconsciously ate and felt that his stomach was full of water shaking, so he realized that he had eaten too much today, and looked at the sky, it was time to go to bed, and it was not good for his health to eat again, so he sent Shen Hong back, washed and rested for a while to prepare for bed.

Shen Hong accompanied him for most of the day, and when he saw that he wanted to rest, he got up and left, and when he left, he called Qiu Yu and Xia He, who were waiting outside.

Qiu Yu and Xia He were waiting outside, already waiting anxiously, you must know that when Lord Shen came over, it was almost time to leave as soon as it was dark, even if Mrs. went to his study to talk to him, she didn't stay so late in the Tao, she was a little anxious, and she didn't dare to push the door in, for fear of bumping into something.

It wasn't until they saw Shen Hong come out that their expressions relaxed a little, and they saluted Shen Hong and walked quickly into the courtyard.

Because of the birthday thing, the family celebrated for several days, the birthday banquet advertised a piece of clothes made by Juan'er, the jewelry supervised by Xiaoyue, and attracted a lot of business for Yuemingfang, Xiaoyue and Juan'er were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, and they wanted to do a good job of this batch of goods, and completely beat the reputation of Yuemingfang's clothing. As long as the reputation of this batch of goods is out, it can change the perception of many people in the market about Yueming Fang and slowly replace the importance of Baozhu Pavilion.

Everyone was busy taking off, and Lin Piao was sorting out the information in the rear, because Xiao Yue would make an official back house relationship network for Shen Hong every time, and Xiao Yue took the opportunity to collect a lot of information at this party, and the more detailed hobbies and eating habits of the noble ladies and brothers were recorded in the booklet.

Lin Piao was responsible for organizing the contents of the pamphlet into the large pamphlet, which was the same as the previously established personal files.

Lin Piao thought about how cool it was to do intelligence work, but he turned out to be an office clerk who was doing information classification every day.

Which noble girl likes to eat what, which noble girl is the most trusted maid next to him, but the days are still happy, especially the second dog is now proud of the spring breeze in Beijing, although in the eyes of everyone is a villain proud, but it does not prevent him from living a good life now, no matter how gorgeous the clothes and hair are crowned and jade pendants, they are not as good as the natural exudation of a person's demeanor after mixing his head, although this road is not easy to walk, but Lin Piao sees that he is developing steadily step by step, and he is still very happy for him, especially now that there is nothing big in Beijing, Everyone is mixing well, but I feel that the days are going well everywhere, and I am full of hope for the future.

Such a good atmosphere was not until they received a series of letters from Erzhu, and the jubilant atmosphere was quickly broken by the old woman of Yu Niang's family.

Erzhu sent a letter, saying that the old woman was hateful, on the surface, bullying Yu Niang behind her back, this matter Erzhu had said before, and it was not a surprising thing, but every time there were endless things, before she scolded Yu Niang behind her back, and recently there was a shortage of materials in their place, because there was a little plague in the local area, and the people and horses of the government were naturally busy with the plague, Yu Niang asked the maid to send him some medicine, and Erzhu went to thank him, and he heard that the old woman was scolding Yu Niang again, He also said that the plague was caused by the two pillars.

The second aunt was angry: "What kind of bullshit, why is it about my second pillar, saying that he killed too many people and caused the plague, so he should not kill it, and keep them to come and end up with this old woman." ”

Erzhu is naturally a violent temper, before he forbears because this is a grudge between Yu Niang and her mother-in-law, if he intervenes, then he will ask others to talk about Yu Niang, but now that he is over, he naturally has a reason to attack, and he went up and gave Yu Niang's mother-in-law a punch, naturally he reined in his strength, so as not to beat people to death, but Yu Niang's mother-in-law fell to the ground, also suffered some injuries, lay in bed to recuperate, and threatened to drive Yu Niang out.

The whole thing was really a dog shaking his head when he heard it, and Lin Piao was speechless: "What is she crazy about, forgetting that it is their high-climbing jade lady who can't do it, so she is playing with majesty?" What about her son? Why did she go crazy all the time, and her son seemed to be dead. ”

A few people complained, and continued to look only to find that the son was cowardly and angry, and Yu Niang's husband was cowardly, but he liked to make a good appearance, and there was nothing wrong with him, but he didn't care about the affairs of the family, and he didn't look at the grievances suffered by Yu Niang, and he also pretended to be dumb this time, and Erzhu wanted him to come out and say a fair word, but he had to pretend to be dead, and he also felt that Yu Niang and Erzhu were a little too close on weekdays, and Erzhu was a little too good to Yu Niang, and doubted their relationship.

They had to drive Yu Niang out of the door, Yu Niang was not afraid of leaving home, but was afraid that there would be no place to stay, Erzhu was not affected by this nest, and immediately took Yu Niang to his own place of residence, so that Yu Niang settled in his residence first, and now Yu Niang lives on his side, he wrote a letter to Yu Niang's father and mother, waiting for a reply, so that others can come to support Yu Niang.

The second aunt looked at this result and suddenly felt a little worried: "This kid is still too immature to do things, and when he does this, people will only think that they really have something, he is a big man, or mixed in the military camp, it is nothing, but what will Yu Niang do in the future?" What will her husband and mother-in-law do to him? ”

"Everything has happened, and there is no reason for Erzhu to swallow his anger, and let them all go, afraid that they will continue to go crazy, and then there will be no one to clean them up? Anyway, they are not good for Yu Niang, it is better to let Yu Niang stay here first in Erzhu, and live a few days of relaxation and no worries. ”

Looking further down, Yu Niang's part of the topic has ended, and Erzhu wrote another page of his life and greetings to everyone, and complained in the letter, saying that Xiang Jia always wanted to find him a woman, he felt a little annoyed, and wanted to go back to Beijing to get married again, and he didn't like such a chaotic behavior of mandarin duck scores.

After reading all the before and after, the second aunt thought about Erzhu's marriage again: "If the Xiang family can find a suitable one for him, it may not be impossible, that is, the Xiang family's eyes are not good, and every time they choose the person they choose, they feel that they look good, but the character is not good, not the character of life, either arrogant, always want to compete, or twist and pinch, look at her eyes and tears, as if I am like her." ”

Lin Piao agreed: "It's not okay to choose a daughter-in-law from the family, so their family also chooses the housewife, and the old lady of the family chooses the concubine room, and the concubines that the men in their family choose by themselves, all of them like to be demons, otherwise they love to get angry and cry, and that tone is really weird." ”

Lin Piao really stayed away from the concubines of the Xiang family because of his dealings with these "women in the back house", and he couldn't understand their aesthetics very well, anyway, they just didn't like to talk well, they just liked the kind of people who couldn't speak clearly, and they were aggrieved and angry and crying at every turn, and they only hoped that Erzhu would not be harmed by this kind of aesthetics.

After chatting and expressing diss to the man in the family, Lin Piao packed up the letters, and when Shen Hong returned home in the afternoon, he took the letters and went to find Shen Hong.

When they arrived at the study, Qing Yu brought hot tea and snacks in, and then withdrew, Lin Piao handed the letter to Shen Hong, who sat behind the desk, opened the letter and began to look at it carefully.

"The first two pages are all about Yu Niang and his mother-in-law." Lin Piao reminded him that the short content of the parents is not one or two points, and only one page of the three pages is considered a family letter.

Shen Hong read the three pages carefully, then put the letter on the table and raised his eyes to look at Lin Piao.

He looked at Lin Piao and didn't speak, Lin Piao was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

"Piao'er, do you know this?"

"What's the matter? Erzhu gave Yu Niang's mother-in-law a punch? I did. ”

Shen Hong shook his head, took a sip of the teacup, and said, "I mean, Huchen likes the matter of Jade Niang." ”

"Ah???h Lin Piao was stunned: "What are you talking about?" ”

Everyone reads the same letter, how did Shen Hong come to this conclusion in the content of the Erzhu vs. the Old Woman? Of course, Lin Piao knew that Erzhu was very good to Yu Niang, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he would feel that the relationship between them was a little out of bounds, but Erzhu was originally such a person, not to mention that he and Yu Niang were old acquaintances, and he should be good to Yu Niang.

Shen Hong repeated indifferently: "I said that Huchen likes Jade Niang. ”

"Why? Did Erzhu tell you before? ”

"No, I read it in the letter."

Lin Piao looked at him and waited for the following.

"Erzhu Ancient Road is hot, and it is not uncommon to help Yu Niang, but he wrote two pages."

Lin Piao thought about it and understood what he meant, Erzhu was a straight man, even if he felt angry, he was just like that at that time, and he would not retell this matter in great detail in the future, but even if the matter passed, Erzhu could write two pages in the letter, which was angry at the attitude of Yu Niang's mother-in-law and husband, and was afraid that Yu Niang would not have a good time and took Yu Niang away.

And Erzhu only jumps his feet on the affairs of his own family, and he is the type who is business-oriented to the outside world, and he is too lazy to look at it, even if he was framed in the past when he saw righteousness and courage to save the girl who was forcibly married in Shangjing, his reaction was only to be jealous and hateful, but he did good deeds and did not ask about the future, without these he was angry, angry, and thinking about how could he be such a person again.

He invested too much emotion and energy into Yu Niang's affairs and encounters, as if he was being bullied, which was not the state he should have.

Shen Hong clicked like this, and Lin Piao immediately felt that something was wrong, and gossiped up: "Oh my God, if that jade girl can be reconciled, wouldn't he be close to the water." ”

Shen Hong smiled: "Huchen himself may not have realized his mind yet. ”

"Then you know it very well, so that you can see it at a glance."

Shen Hong smiled and said nothing, he naturally understood, he was like a tiger for a while, thinking about each other, thinking about each other, and he didn't know what was wrong with him, just ordinary concern and feelings, but he was a person who was born with a strong sense of possessiveness, at that time, as long as he thought that Lin Piao might like others and be with others, he couldn't control the boredom and displeasure in his heart, and he wanted to tie Lin Piao to his side and only revolve around him, and felt that every point he thought and thought was extremely ridiculous and unreasonable.

That was the time when he didn't know how to deal with this emotion and uncontrollable possessiveness, but then he slowly got comfortable and knew how to organize this kind of thought, and didn't scare Lin Piao back again.

Lin Piao lay on the desk and looked at Shen Hong: "Do you say that it is more likely that the two of them will be together?" I think Erzhu is very good, and the life of the two of them is also good in the same life as Yu Niang, they both want to do things simply, and they just go to live happily, but now there are so many things, Yu Niang has not separated, and Erzhu has not opened up. Lin Piao thought about it, and he was quite worried about the two of them, feeling that if he was not careful, he might miss it if he didn't catch the other party properly.

"If Huchen doesn't know what his purpose is, and can't promote this matter well, then he may not be able to get the desired result in the end." Shen Hong looked at the letter in front of him, he could have pointed out Huchen, but he had written a letter in the past, and it was impossible to find out what he said, and Huchen might not be able to understand what he meant.

"And Erzhu's letter also said that the Xiang family is always doing these things, and if you don't pay attention, you will ruin Erzhu's marriage."

"Don't worry about this, Huchen knows in his heart, as long as he is not tempted, he will not be easily stumped by these things."

Shen Hong looked at the things written on the spread out letterhead, this was the agreement between him and Erzhu, if there was any change in the family, he could write some irrelevant things as a hint, Huchen rarely complained about these things in his past letters, and it was common for him to send things and women to his family, and this time he specially wrote it out, he said, "I want to go back to Beijing to get married" and "mess up the mandarin duck spectrum."

Xiangjia should have something going on in Shangjing, and with a hint, a little investigation will come to know.

Shen Hong thought so, but when he sent someone to investigate, he found nothing.

But Shen Hong has a feeling that the more nothing there is, the more something is going to happen, and now that Beijing has been born for a while, it should be the day of trouble, there are so many fish hidden under the water, none of them are willing to be worn honestly, and everyone wants to jump out of the water and jump over the dragon gate.

Shen Hong did not like his weakness and impermanence, and did not use him, for fear of being implicated by him or biting back, Shen Hong was a cautious person, especially now that he was dragging his family and mouth, and he would not do anything that was not safe enough, so he offered his plan to the prince and asked other people under the prince to contact Guo Heng.

But Guo Heng suddenly had the vision to see it, and asked to see Shen Hong by name.

Shen Hong could only go to see him.

When Lingyue was in prison, he had never come to see it, but now that he came in and took a closer look, he found that it was not much different from what Lin Piao said, and that the conditions were indeed much better than those in the county government in the past.

The jailer opened the door, Shen Hong walked in, and there was only one high window in the whole prison, and the sunlight was shining in from inside.

When Guo Heng saw Shen Hong coming, his eyes lit up, knowing that if he could still see Shen Hong at this time, it meant that he still had enough value, and this bit meant more than anything.

Shen Hong was a gentleman who was as gentle as jade, and he had the self-control of a literati and a scholar, and Guo Heng believed that Shen Hong was a man of character, and that others would not necessarily let him live, but as long as Shen Hong agreed to his conditions, he would be able to live.

There is another point, others can't help him live, but as long as Shen Hong wants to, Shen Hong can do it.

"I can help you achieve all the goals you want, but you have to keep me alive." After staring at Shen Hong, Guo Heng said the first words of their meeting in the silence of the cell.

Shen Hong glanced at him: "Master Guo, forgive me." ”

Guo Heng frowned: "I can give you a lot of clues, if you want to be a gentleman, you don't have to be so high-minded." ”

"Master Guo, maybe I have misunderstood something for you, and you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me." Shen Hong said gently.

Guo Heng paused, looked at Shen Hong's indifferent appearance, and felt the cold like falling into an ice cave.

"Then what are you doing when you come to see me?"

"The prince wants to use you, but I don't want to use you, you are too weak, you lack ability, you didn't know how to give up what you should give up at the beginning of the matter, and now you want to use the handle in your hand to bite indiscriminately, Lord Guo, people like you are too offended."

Guo Heng looked at him with a cold face, he didn't expect Shen Hong to treat him like this, and even teach him a lesson like this, sarcastic him, but whenever Shen Hong showed the slightest intention of wanting to negotiate terms with him, he could give in infinitely and grovel, but Shen Hong was like this, he naturally would not make a little weaker appearance.

"Lord Shen has such a great ability, and he is still afraid of offending people?"

"When you first learn to play chess, you have to know the principle of no regrets from the beginning, so you have to think carefully and don't take a wrong step."

Shen Hong stood at the door, didn't take a single step, and then turned around and walked out of the prison, the jailer stepped forward to lock the door, leaving only Guo Heng's eyes full of horror and resentment, red blood full of eyeballs, staring at the closed door and constantly thinking, this road is also dead.

Shen Hong is the best person to talk about, but Shen Hong looks down on him.

Shen Hong walked out of the prison, the carriage waiting for him outside Dali Temple was waiting outside, and the people sent by the prince's side looked at him: "Lord Shen, what did Guo Heng say?" ”

"Guo Heng should be willing to cooperate, just let the prince continue, and give him some sweetness first."

"Yes, the little ones are going to pass it on."

Shen Hong didn't particularly care about the affairs of Shangjing, these things were all in his grasp, but Huchen said that there was an abnormal movement in Xiang's family, and he never found out what was going on in this matter, and Huchen never found a chance to convey the news clearly.

With the arrival of a letter from Huchen, the war report also reached Shangjing, and a large-scale war broke out on the border again, and the vitality of the Yuebu was greatly damaged.

When Lin Piao heard the news, he felt that things in the world had really changed very quickly, and that the two pillars had won the battle ten days ago, and the mainstream people were still happily praising the two pillars, and they felt that it was a great good thing that Daning had two pillars, and that they were really proud and proud of their country's prestige.

Now that the border is unstable, a kind of speculation has begun to spread loudly, saying that it is because Erzhu is too ruthless in his work, which has frightened the small countries on the border, causing them all to tremble at first and have to huddle together to keep warm.

It can be seen that this time, even the people who are far away in Beijing are beginning to be afraid, and they feel that according to this tactic, there will always be a feeling that their personal safety is in danger.

Although there are also many supporters of Erzhu who speak out for Erzhu, saying that you are all grass on the wall, and you have been boasting on one side before, and now you are secretly speculating on one side, General Dingyuan is the great hero of Daning, and you don't let out bullshit, and war of words is always inevitable.

"The south has just finished cleaning up, and it was originally stationed in the local area, saying that there are still some fleeing soldiers and wandering grass bandits, and they will be cleaned up as soon as they are cleaned up, and the division will return to the DPRK a little later, but as soon as this incident comes out, they should have to go straight to the border."

Lin Piao felt that Erzhu was also very difficult, but since he had joined the army, it was not reasonable to just want to live a peaceful life, the battle that should be fought always had to be fought, and the rush that should have been there could not be avoided, and he suddenly thought of him and Yu Niang's affairs.

"Yu Niang's affairs haven't been sorted out yet, this time, I don't know that Yu Niang has no one to support him, how to live his life, he is going to live a hard life, and Yu Niang is also going to live a hard life."

It's hard work.

Chapter 169

Lin Piao's life is now too salty, as soon as the weather enters the summer, he doesn't want to go out, it is really a heavy clothes, no matter how thin it is, he has to wear two layers, a set of underwear and a layer of outer clothing, this is the lightest way to wear, the underwear is made of the lightest and most breathable material, and it is very comfortable to wear at home, but as soon as he goes out, the weather is hot, and he sweats when he is hot, and the ability to breathe and absorb sweat is too good and too light, so it is all attached to the back.

Xiaoyue and Juan'er couldn't stand the weather, so they always went out when the sun had not yet risen, hid in the Yueming Fang, and waited until the sun went down before coming back, because the weather was hot and they had no appetite, and everyone's dinner time was delayed a lot.

Everyone is not in the mood during the day, and at night in the night to feel comfortable, so they like to sit together in twos and threes to enjoy the cool, these two days Uncle Qiu went to live with the second aunt, they were invited before, let Uncle Qiu go over to accompany her there, now the second aunt lives on both sides, but there is not a lot of time to stay there, the second pillar is not there she alone, Uncle Qiu was invited to accompany her, and the other little cubs are extremely discerning, sit for a while and then say that they want to go out for a walk, and invite each other to leave, Lin Piao and Shen Hong continued to sit in the courtyard and drink herbal tea.

"It's very hot, and they're still in the mood to go out for a walk, but now they can move around during the day, and there is a cool breeze blowing when they walk around at night."

It's a pity that there are no flower stands in the yard, so Lin Piao plans to get up: "Shen Hong, let's find a place to plant flowers, roses, or wisteria, so that we can sit under the flower stands in the cool at night in summer, and if we go out to walk around during the day in summer, there is a place to block the sun." ”

Shen Hong looked at him with a smile: "Okay." ”

Lin Piao was afraid of heat and cold, and in the past two years, the conditions have become more and more obvious, Shen Hong's eyes fell on Lin Piao's side face, seeing that he was still planning seriously, and after setting up a flower stand, he could plant something more, and turned his head slightly to look to the side, the skin on the side of his neck was as white as jade, almost glowing a little faint light in the dark night.

He turned around and walked around, obviously too dry, Shen Hong saw him like this: "Drink some mung bean soup." ”

Lin Piao turned back and sat down beside Shen Hong, but before Shen Hong could reach out to hug him, Lin Piao turned sideways and dodged: "It's very hot, don't stay next to each other yet." ”
