What happened to Xiang Home outside?

What do they have to do with Shen Hong?

Do you have any information to share?

Lin Piao wasn't sure.

Anyway, there were shaved ice and iced watermelon on the banquet, and Lin Piao showed off before he said, appetizing and preparing for the next event.

Everyone talked about it together, although it was not painful, but they could also say something funny for everyone to laugh at, and Lin Piao was a little skeptical of his judgment when he said it.

Mrs. Xiang may not have much information to communicate with him, but simply treat him as a very simple idiot.

Because her words always go around Shen Hong.

"Lord Shen has been very busy lately?"

"Lord Shen has worked hard."

"Now the matter of the household department is really scary, what does Lord Shen think?"

It's just such a cliché? Do you think that if you praise him for a few words and praise him a few words, he will pour out his heart and lungs and say anything?

Lin Piao was a little numb, and he smiled and dealt with a few words, feeling that the military general's heart and eyes were not as good as Wen Chen's, and the master mother of the military general's family was not as meticulous as Wen Chen's family, but she was a little clear and stupid.

Although asking Shen Hong about things is a daily routine, Lin Piao knows that if this information is revealed, they will definitely be able to figure out something from these things, and their own affairs will naturally not be able to say anything at all, even if Shen Hong prefers to eat pears to watermelons, Lin Piao will not use it as a talking point on such an occasion.

After chatting with Mrs. Xiang for a while, he found that Lin Piao did not leak a drop of water, and every time he seemed to say a lot, after thinking about it carefully, what he said was his own business, and Shen Hong seemed to be in this matter, but it seemed that he would always be a background, vague, and did not know what he was doing.

Mrs. Xiang knew that he was careful and guarded, so she didn't say much, after eating, it was to enjoy the flowers and visit the garden, watch the scenery and chat, Xiaoyue followed Lin Piao's side, they walked in the yard, although Xiang Jia has no aesthetic taste, but after all, he is rich, and he is not rich, and the accumulation of many years is still here, quite luxurious, because of the atmosphere of a little local money, it is even more luxurious, especially the golden carp in the carp pond, there are pavilions and pavilions everywhere, and there are wide courtyards and martial arts training grounds, which can be convenient for practicing martial artsPeople can use their hands and feet anytime and anywhere.

Occasionally, birds and pigeons land in yards and under eaves, pecking at debris and bugs.

There are many pigeons in Beijing, most of the people here can eat enough, and there are many people who have the leisure to scatter rice to feed the pigeons, and the pigeons here are more well-fed than the people outside, and they are fat and strong, and they land here to find something to eat.

Lin Piao glanced at it more, and noticed his eyes from the maid beside his wife, so he walked up, stretched out his hand, and raised it gently, and the pigeon flapped its wings and left, flew up to the eaves and quickly disappeared from sight.

Lin Piao felt that her movements were a little strange, so he looked at her, and then saw Mrs. Xiang glance at her, as if she was a little disgusted: "The guests are here, and the birds and birds are also a scene. Go down, don't bump into your guests. ”

The servant girl lowered her head and apologized, and said no to Lin Piao, and then turned to leave.

Lin Piao felt a little strange, what is there to catch up with the pigeons, what is there to be angry about when the pigeons are chased, and after thinking about it, the weather is hot, and the temper is a little dry, and the style of acting will be like this.

Along the corridor past the side of the courtyard, we came to the pond, and the pond was very large, and there were lotus flowers in it, and there was nothing in it except the carp, and there were only small fish and shrimp for the carp to eat.

Mrs. Xiang smiled and took them to enjoy the lotus, and the second aunt came to Lin Piao's side to take a handkerchief and whispered: "Listen to this lotus pond, it is used by the family to block evil, don't look at the lotus is well maintained, the carp inside is the real treasure, I heard that every man in the Xiang family, there is a fish in it, one person and one person, I don't know how to get it, anyway, it is this kind of disaster can be blocked." ”

Lin Piao doesn't know much about this kind of feng shui thing, but some superstitious bosses do like to raise feng shui fish.

As they spoke, Mrs. Xiang was not stingy: "This fish is easy to touch, it is our rule to be at home, but this lotus blooms well, if you like it, you can pick some, this summer is scorching, look refreshing, but also suitable for the occasion." So saying, he asked the maid beside him to pick a few sticks, which would be used to insert the bottle later.

The other ladies immediately accepted it as if it were a gift, and after thanking the lady, they asked the maids around them to pick some.

Lin Piao watched from the side, and already wanted to go home Salted fish to lie down.

This kind of social interaction is so boring, he thought that there would be some amount of information, but it turned out to pass the time, so he wanted to go back and pass the time with Shen Hong.

Lin Piao thought about it, folded the lotus flower to Madame's maid and brought it up, and gave it to Madame with two sticks, the half-open bud didn't know when it was wet, Lin Piao took it into his arms, and the clothes on his chest were mottled by water marks, and there was a little gray silt.

"Sorry for staining your clothes." Mrs. Xiang looked at his clothes with some surprise, and looked at the maid beside her: "Take Mrs. Shen to change her clothes, and take the best clothes to Mrs. Shen." ”

Lin Piao waved his hand: "No, no, no." He didn't care too much about his appearance, he just got a little dirty, and it wasn't too exaggerated stains, so he didn't want to wear strangers' clothes.

Mrs. Xiang insisted: "How can this be rude, if you stain your clothes but don't make amends, others will definitely talk about us in the future." ”

Lin Piao smiled: "If the people present don't say it, who can talk about it?" If it's all right, I'll go out and get into the carriage, and who will see my clothes? ”

Mrs. Xiang looked at him and glanced at him: "Okay, since you insist on not using it, it's okay." ”

Lin Piao nodded, he really felt a little strange in his heart, he was wearing summer clothes, not winter clothes, there was no need to bring him down to be so serious about dressing up, find a room, there was a screen, just change the cedar in a nearby room, why did you have to take him down to change clothes?

Want to send a message to him privately?

Lin Piao walked around for a while, but he couldn't stay any longer, and under the pretext that he was tired and dizzy on a hot day, he wanted to go home to rest, so he left quickly.

At the last moment, Mrs. Xiang was still holding on to him: "If you are dizzy, you don't have to rush back, just rest in the house and then leave, why bother with the tiring journey and make your body feel uncomfortable." ”

Lin Piao waved his hand again and again: "I sleep very well, I can sleep for half a day when I fall down, and there is no reason to rest outside for so long, so I don't have to let people talk about whether you say it or not." ”

When Mrs. Xiang saw him say this, she didn't persuade him, sent Lin Piao and his party out of the mansion, watched the carriage leave, and shook her head in her heart: "This person looks like he has a tiger energy on his body, and he is actually very guarded, if we can't let him let down his guard, we can't do anything in front of him." ”

The maid beside her nodded: "Madam Shen is indeed cautious, but Madam doesn't need to say this, our relationship with Shen Hong is not good, and his defense against us is naturally a hundred times better than ordinary people, but anyone who has a friendship with him is like this, he may have a different attitude, take your time, there will always be a chance." ”

"Yes."

Lin Piao got on the bus back and was in a much better mood: "I thought they were looking for me for something special, but it turned out that there was nothing wrong with me, just eating and drinking." ”

"Although the man of the Xiang family does not do things very well, Mrs. Xiang is hospitable, loves to make friends, and treats people well."

Lin Piao looked at the second aunt and felt that the second aunt was a little moved by Mrs. Xiang's sugar-coated cannonballs, but Mrs. Xiang worked hard to establish a good relationship with her, and it was very difficult to have no emotional enhancement under this kind of offensive.

"Auntie, why do you think Mrs. Xiang wants to come to me?"

The second aunt thought for a while: "It's about making friends, and if something happens in the future, so that Shen Hong can also have some affection for them." ”

"In the future, it is always necessary to match." Those who are affectionate or unrelenting have all come to this point, and there is no major turnaround, and it is basically a matter of life and death.

The second aunt was silent for a while when she heard this: "Let them take care of their own affairs, let's eat and drink, where can we take care of such a distant matter." ”

A lot of things are too big, too far away, too cruel, not something they can think about at the moment.

When Lin Piao returned home, it was just in the evening, he walked into Shen Hong's study and hurriedly told him about his experience today.

"Actually, it's nothing, just eat and drink, wander around, there are a few pigeons in their house that fall in the courtyard, I remember Xiaoyue's booklet that it is written, the one next to Mrs. Xiang should be her big maid, but also her dowry maid, I came back and looked at it, saying that she is steady, and Mrs. Xiang is like a sister, and Mrs. Xiang is inseparable from Mrs. Xiang on weekdays, so today Mrs. Xiang reprimanded her because of the pigeon, let her step down, it is really a little strange."

He felt that the maid's feeling was a little inexplicable, he just glanced at the pigeon, and she walked up and drove the pigeon away as if she didn't do it, Lin Piao wouldn't have cared at all.

Shen Hong thought for a while: "Pigeon ? If they raise their own pigeons, they should be so nervous, but pigeons are difficult to raise, the two places are so far apart, relying on pigeons to pass on the news is too risky, lost on the road, death, lost, a little accident will make the news cut off on the road. ”

This is also the reason why the government still insists on using post stations to transmit news, instead of uniformly flying pigeons to pass on books.

"What's more, the pigeons are too conspicuous at the border, but whenever they are seen coming and going, the Qi family has already noticed them."

Shen Hong suddenly paused after speaking, and his expression became a little dark.

"What's wrong?"

"It is very difficult for pigeons to go to the border, it is too conspicuous, and it is prone to errors, but if there is a transit station between them, and the old lady and the lady of the Xiang family pass the news to the transfer station, and the other side is responsible for passing the news to General Xiang, who is anywhere, General Xiang can also convey his orders back in this way, so that General Xiang has no information with Shangjing, and Xiang Jia has no sign of secretly contacting General Xiang."

Lin Piao listened to his reasoning: "It makes sense, if you can find out where the transfer station is, you can basically know what Xiang Jia is doing." ”

Shen Hong's gaze became deeper and deeper.

More than.

If that's really the case.

Not only did they know what Xiang Jia would do.

They can also pretend not to know what to do with the family.

Through this move, they will be able to choke the lifeblood of the Xiang family and ask for the life of the Xiang family.

Lin Piao saw that Shen Hong had entered a state of thoughtfulness, and felt that he was quietly bubbling with bad water, and reached out and pinched his face: "If this guess can be verified, it will be another great achievement." ”

Shen Hong nodded, they could not only know what Xiang Jia was thinking now, but even what Xiang Jia had done in the past.

Shen Hong got up, and Lin Piao looked at him: "Are you going to go out now?" ”

"I'll go out and tell me things clearly, I won't come back too late at night, you don't have to wait for me, have a good rest." Shen Hong touched his hair.

Lin Piao saw that he had already figured out what he was going to do in less than two minutes, and nodded: "Okay, you go and get busy, I'm also tired, I want to go back to sleep, pay attention to safety at night." ”

Chapter 170

Erzhu was in a very bad mood at the border, and now he was too busy fighting to write a letter to his family, but he still had time to send a message, but now he didn't even have the opportunity to write a message.

Erzhu sat behind the table with a cold face, and above him was General Xiang, the eldest son of General Xiang, who was looking at him with a kind face, and joked with a smile: "Huchen, you are also a man, what are you doing so homesickly, like a girl." ”

Erzhu slapped the table and said angrily: "What girls are not girls, there are not many other girls in my family!" I can't even see a word of them all month long, and they live like this! ”

"Isn't it all like this, fighting outside is such a day, okay, Huchen, don't make trouble anymore, if you keep making trouble, I can't help you to be wild."

"Then you will deal with me by military law!" Erzhu stood up suddenly: "Convict me of homesickness!" ”

General Xiang looked at Erzhu with a headache, thinking that it was really fucking annoying, a wooden head, and an iron temper, farting all day long, making trouble without writing a letter home, and living like a child without milk.

General Xiang slapped the table hard: "You can say another word that is not angry?" I'll write back at once, and call them all to your wife, and I'll be with you at this border! ”

Erzhu gritted his teeth, turned his head and left without saying a word, rubbed his temples to the general, he had a headache when he saw this forced cub, but his father liked it very much, he almost wanted to recognize him as a godson, there was a tiger in the name of Huchen, and it was actually a dog that belonged to a dog. It's just that now is the time to use him, and it's not good to clean him up and call him a long memory.

General Xiang got up and smashed two teacups violently, and only then did he feel a little more angry.

The second pillar came out of General Xiang's tent and walked through the patrolling soldiers back to his tent, where two oil lamps were lit, and the second pillar sat down and was worried.

In the past, he could still write letters to his family and tell Shen Hong to "go back," but now he is very vigilant to his family, and he does not even allow them to write letters to his family, saying that the war on the front line is urgent, and they must no longer contact the outside world, lest others see that they have been accused of leaking military aircraft.

When he came to the border, he found that the fighting here was going crazy, and everyone was red-eyed, which was a common thing, but after several encounters, he fought with the men and horses of Xizhou twice, and on both occasions the other party wanted to eat him when they saw him, and they muttered some bird words.

The lieutenant who knew a little bit of this kind of bird language told him that the man was scolding them for being shameless, that they were thieves, filthy and despicable villains, and that they would be punished by the gods.

Basically, it's like this every time.,There are also things like that they assassinated their priests and asked them to pay for their lives.,Erzhu doesn't know much.,Before, they were all fighting with some people from the Moon Department and the Yuwen Department.,That's when I met the people of Xizhou.,I don't quite understand why they say these nonsense.,The people who used to be in the Moon Department never said it.,You have to die standing up.。

But after a little longer, he can naturally see that Xiang's approach is not to resolve contradictions, nor is it to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, or to constantly provoke contradictions, and then think of the assassination of the priest, he knows that someone must be provoking a war, he wants to talk to General Xiang about this, but think about it, although General Xiang can fight, but people really can't, his brain is slow, but he has been pondering for two days and also felt the problem.

Xiang Jia is looking forward to this war, including when he went to the battlefield, these people were not solemn or tragic, but proud.

There is another battle, and they are of great use again.

Xiang Jia wants to fight so much, will this be something Xiang Jia did?

He didn't know about it, and he wasn't sure about it, so he wrote to Shen Hong to hint at the Xiang family's move, but before he had a chance to slowly hand over the news, the Xiang family had already forbidden them to convey any more news to the family and the outside world.

Although he did not like Xiang Jia, he was also grateful to General Xiang for his kindness and admired General Xiang's courage and decisiveness, but if this incident was really deliberately provoked by Xiang Jia, what would they see as the soldiers who were loyal to the country? Will they become a stepping stone for thousands of bones?

This battle must be won, but if there is no such battle at all, he does not want this bird's military exploits, and it is quite peaceful to stay at home.

Erzhu looked at the map hanging on the wall, no matter how much he thought, he still had to continue to win, and only hoped that Shen Hong and Ergou would be aware of the problem as soon as possible in Shangjing, so as not to be affected himself.

In Beijing, the lanterns are dense.

Shen Hong went out to report the matter to the prince.
