Jianghu are all masters

200.

Zhang Xiaoyuan felt that She Shuyi must have misunderstood.

On his front feet, someone brought hot water for the elder brother to bathe, but his back feet were soaked and he ran out of the elder brother's room. No matter who saw him, he would think wildly.

He was extremely embarrassed, and hurriedly opened his mouth to explain to She Shuyi, but Lu Zhaoming was a little faster than him, and said to She Shuyi: "Master, I was the one who got drunk yesterday."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

No!Eldest brother explained it this way...it's even more strange!

She Shuyi coughed lightly and said, "Aren't you a non-drinker?"

Lu Zhaoming lowered his head and said in a low voice, "It's my fault."

"Eldest senior brother drank too much wine, he was a little delirious, and splashed water all over me!" Zhang Xiaoyuan hurriedly said, "Uncle, you must have misunderstood! I understand, if it were me, I would have misunderstood too! "

He turned his head to look at Lu Zhaoming, Lu Zhaoming still remembered that Zhang Xiaoyuan had told him before coming here that no matter what happened, he had to cooperate with what Zhang Xiaoyuan said, so he nodded slowly and said: "I splashed the water. "

But his reaction was somewhat slower, and he paused for a moment before saying this sentence, which was even more misleading.

She Shuyi looked strange, nodded slightly, and said, "It's just splashing water."

The maidservant sister was even more straightforward, with four large characters popping out of her head.

Sister Maid: "Mandarin ducks play in the water!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't know how else to explain it.

"I won't tell your master about this matter, and you don't need to explain it to me." She Shuyi said, "This is your own business."

Zhang Xiaoyuan took a deep breath and made a dying struggle: "Master, you misunderstood..."

Lu Zhaoming was used to directly agreeing to She Shuyi and Wang Henian's requests, so he almost didn't think about it, and blurted out, "Yes, uncle."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan covered his face, feeling that senior brother is getting more and more blackened, if he continues to speak, then he will not be able to wash it off for the rest of his life.

Zhang Xiaoyuan decided to get straight to the business. Anyway, She Shuyi also said to leave them alone, and there was no need to continue to play tricks with She Shuyi on this matter.

He looked at the maidservant sister beside She Shuyi, and said to She Shuyi: "Master, what happened just now..."

She Shuyi understood, he asked the maidservant to leave for now, and only three of them were left in the courtyard, before he asked: "Is the emperor asking you about Jian Yu?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan nodded, and simply told She Shuyi everything that happened just now.

Now he was reluctant to fool Zhao Chengyang, but Zhao Chengyang didn't believe what Zhang Xiaoyuan said at all, he would definitely ask Puyang Jing to investigate the matter thoroughly, and it was hard to say what the final result would be.

She Shuyi sighed lightly, and said: "I just asked my elder brother, he sent someone to send silver taels to the people in the palace, plus the previous friendship, at least I got some news."

Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't expect She Shuci to inquire about the news so quickly, he could only wait for She Shuyi to continue talking.

"The situation in the palace is complicated now, I'm afraid it's not as simple as I thought." She Shuyi whispered, "This matter may not be so easy to deal with, and I don't know how long you and I will have to wait in Beijing to wait for this matter Completely resolved."

The words he wanted to say were obviously very long, he first asked the two to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard, and then he opened his mouth to talk to them about the current situation in the court.

Recently there have been rumors in the palace that the first emperor still has a son left behind among the people, and in the past two years there have been some strange things happening one after another in the palace. I don't know when the rumors spread, saying that when Zhao Chengyang was born, there was a demon cloud from the sky. It is a sign, and his mother died at the time of his birth, and within a few years, the late emperor was seriously ill. Several of the original emperor's brothers and sisters died of serious illnesses within a few years, which is really strange.

In recent years, this matter seems to have become more and more serious. Zhao Chengyang got married at that time. On that day, the empress suddenly contracted a serious illness and died within three days. After that, there were several concubines, but none of them died well. Heirs, even when he came to the throne at a young age, the late emperor pointed out several people to be regents, but most of them did not have good results. Now only Qi Shoufu and Wen Suyuan are left alive.

Zhang Xiaoyuan was stunned when he heard that, he couldn't help thinking that Wen Tingting thought that senior brother was a tough man, but compared with Zhao Chengyang... Senior senior brother is so hard to tell fortune!

But he also knew that Zhao Chengyang was the current emperor, and this rumor was obviously implying that Zhao Chengyang was inherently ominous.

She Shuyi was right, this matter was definitely not as simple as they thought.

He remembered that Pu Yangjing had mentioned that once the rumors came out, people in the palace would be scattered. If so, it would be troublesome for Zhao Chengyang to find out the second senior brother.

"I don't understand." Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't see through, so he asked She Shuyi, "If the situation in the court is really like this, it will be bad for him to find out the second senior brother?"

She Shuyi shook her head slightly: "So I'm worried."

Although Zhao Chengyang has no malicious intentions now, once he really finds Jiang Jianyu, if the situation changes again, he will kill Jiang Jianyu if he fails to keep everything in order.

Zhang Xiaoyuan has a headache.

He originally thought that he came to the capital to do business while visiting the mountains and rivers, but now it seems that they are clearly caught in a battle between the court and China, and even at this time, he still can't figure out who their enemy is.

Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Xiao Yuan." She Shuyi suddenly called out to him, and said, "There is one thing, at this moment, I don't need to keep it from you anymore."

Zhang Xiaoyuan blinked: "What's the matter?"

"Zhaoming's father is Ling Shuangjian Li Hanchuan." She Shuyi said, "He was also one of the regents back then."

Zhang Xiaoyuan nodded and said, "I know something."

He is not clear about the part of the regent.

She Shuyi looked at Lu Zhaoming, perhaps because she was worried that Lu Zhaoming would remember the sad things, so she just said vaguely: "What happened back then was strange, and your master and I both felt that something was wrong."

But what's wrong, he and Wang Henian were not involved in the court, so he didn't know much about the affairs of the court, he didn't have any evidence, and he didn't know who Li Hanchuan's enemy was back then, so it was difficult to explain the matter clearly for a while.

After all, he and Wang Henian are people from the Jianghu. When Li Hanchuan entered the court, they couldn't understand it. Later, when Li Hanchuan had an accident, Wang Henian took Lu Zhaoming away. At least it can keep him safe for the rest of his life.

Zhang Xiaoyuan remained silent. He was wondering who the man behind the scenes was manipulating everything. Based on the storytelling stories he had read over the years, the person who could do these things should be someone with a lot of power. It's a pity that he He likes to listen to the affairs of the Jianghu, but he doesn't like to get involved in the disputes of the court. Most storytellers dare not mention the affairs of the court. He doesn't know much, but he still knows a few of the powerful and treacherous people.

She Shuyi suddenly said, "Tomorrow is Qixi Festival."

Zhang Xiaoyuan was contemplating, he didn't think much, just nodded to show that he understood.

It's just the Chinese Valentine's Day, and Ben doesn't have much to do with him.

She Shuyi said: "Your birthday is coming soon."

She Shuyi reminded Zhang Xiaoyuan that it was only then that Zhang Xiaoyuan suddenly remembered his birthday. After coming to the capital, he almost forgot about it. Seeing She Shuyi's expression, he felt in his heart that his uncle might have prepared an extremely expensive copy for him. He hastily refused, and said: "Uncle Shi, my family doesn't like to give heavy gifts on birthdays. At most, I can eat a bowl of birthday noodles, and the birthday will be counted."

She Shuyi reached out to touch his head, and said: "Now you live in my house, and this birthday will be celebrated according to the rules of the She family."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

The rules of the richest family... Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't imagine it.

Lu Zhaoming had just heard them talking about the court, and at most he only half-understood it. Now when it comes to Zhang Xiaoyuan's birthday, he finally came to his senses. After hearing what She Shuyi said, he opened his mouth to follow suit. : "I'm ready too."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "It's just an ordinary birthday..."

"Only once a year." Lu Zhaoming said, "It's the first time since I met you."

"Zhaoming is right, we should live well." She Shuyi nodded, then looked at Lu Zhaoming curiously, and asked, "Zhaoming, what gift are you preparing?"

Lu Zhaoming: "..."

He turned his gaze to the sky, pretending that he would never speak, as if he didn't hear what they said.

Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't know what to say for a moment, he could only ask She Shuyi: "Master, what should we do next?"

"I can only wait." She Shuyi sighed softly, "When the Ghost Festival comes, go and ask Wen Suyuan in person."

……

In the next few days, Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't dare to go out on the street again. He was afraid that he would bump into Xiao Mobai again for no reason, or that the elder brother had drunk again. He stayed in the room and watched the sword manual on Qixi Festival, and he had nothing to do if he didn't go out. , he finally started to practice swordsmanship, with the guidance of his uncle and senior brother, the progress is not too slow.

Then came his birthday. He hoped that his birthday would be simple. At most, he would just have a meal with his uncle and senior brother. He didn't know what gift She Shuyi had prepared for him, and he never heard She Shuyi talk about the palace in the past few days. After waiting for a few days for the new news, on the twelfth day of July, the eve of his birthday, Zhang Xiaoyuan was lying on the bed after reading the sword manual, reviewing it in his head with his eyes closed, when suddenly he heard someone knock on his door lightly .

"Xiao Yuan?" The man asked softly outside the door, "Are you asleep?"

It's the big brother.

Zhang Xiaoyuan got up from the bed, pulled his shoes and ran to open the door for Lu Zhaoming, now it was almost three o'clock, but Lu Zhaoming put on the night clothes he would wear when going out at night, rushed into his room, and said to him: "You change Get dressed and follow me."

Zhang Xiaoyuan was stunned, and asked: "Elder brother, what are you going to do?"

Lu Zhaoming replied, "I'll take you to see something."

Zhang Xiaoyuan asked in a daze, "What is it?"

Lu Zhaoming was in a good mood, he frowned, smiled at him, and said, "I'll give you a birthday present."
