Jinyiwei work report

Not to mention the regrettable past, Li Zhen said dissatisfiedly: "Can he compare with me?"

They are not of the same kind, so naturally they cannot be compared together, Song Yingbai said: "It's different, so it can't be compared like this."

Li Zhen was overjoyed, and suddenly had an unrealistic expectation, "Then tell me, how am I different from him?"

Could it be the same as when he was at that time, Song Yingbai was driven into a hurry, and when he was excited, he suddenly realized his true thoughts about himself.

As a result, Song Yingbai just frowned indifferently, "I mean, there are some things that are not the sun and the moon, there is only one. Friends, the more the better, since he has shown his favor to me, we still have to make friends, why bother to compare?" .”

He said it very euphemistically, implying that the friend is not the sun, there can only be one, it is normal for him to make friends with Pei Huaixuan, what are you always comparing.

It's hard for Li Zhen not to hear, "You have to go, don't you?"

"You are worried about me, I know, don't worry, I know. I will definitely appear in front of you tomorrow." He must go, not only because of the appointment with his brother, but also because he is the only one going this time Only when he came to Pei Huaixuan's place and returned safely, could he prove that he was harmless and pave the way for getting along with him in the future.

Proving it with facts is the most effective way to break prejudice.

"..." Li Zhen snorted, "I'll go too!"

It's not good to come uninvited, it's very rude, besides, he and his brother will inevitably involve personal matters in the chat, so it's not appropriate for Li Zhen to be there.This made Song Yingbai very difficult, why is this, he has to follow, he is not a child.

"This... If you go, it's not convenient, and I'm afraid he won't be happy..."

inconvenient?What are you guys doing?What's the inconvenience for me to go? "How long have you known him, are you afraid that he will be unhappy? I am unhappy?"

Song Yingbai found out that there would be no result in arguing about this matter, so he decided to fool around, "...it's okay for anyone to be unhappy, it's only reasonable for me to be unhappy, please be satisfied."

As soon as he got angry, Li Zhen became half shorter. He must have been angry because he had been nagging for too long, so his attitude softened, and he coaxed, "Why are you so angry, I'm just trying to persuade you."

Song Ying gave him a blank look, didn't speak, sat back on the chair, put her hands on her face and looked at the document in front of her, as if Li Zhen didn't exist.

Li Zhen became nervous, and didn't care about pursuing Song Yingbai's decision, "There is something that cannot be discussed, why are you angry?"

Song Yingbai found that it was really cool to see people's faces, and said expressionlessly: "I'm not angry, I just feel a little tired."

Needless to say, it must be because Li Zhen stretched his hands too long and was tired from taking care of too much, "Okay, okay, I won't talk too much, you can do whatever you want." After finishing speaking, he said in a muffled voice: "...then I'll go gone."

Song Yingbai stood up and said, "I'll see you off."

"No, just sit down!" Li Zhen raised his hand to stop him, but Song Yingbai didn't insist, and sat down seriously, and continued to read the paperwork in front of him. Li Zhen got bored and had to leave resentfully.

His mind is full of things about Song Yingbai and Pei Huaixuan.

Now he has to suspect that Pei Huaicheng played a role in those tragic endings between him and Song Yingbai.

Wait and see what happens, and never take it lightly.

-

After being released from the Yamen, Song Yingbai went home first, changed into casual clothes and waited for Pei Huaixuan to pick him up.To be honest, he was a little nervous, although the other party was his own brother, but after all, he had just met and had a weird personality, so he must not make mistakes for a while and cause unnecessary incidents.

After waiting for a while, Pei Huaixuan came to pick him up in person, and the two brothers rode side by side to Pei's house.

"After I left, you didn't tell Li Qianshi about our relationship, did you?" Pei Huaixuan said.

Song Yingbai shook his head, "Don't worry, he didn't reveal a word. So he is a little confused now, thinking how we got so good overnight."

"It doesn't matter, he will gradually understand that I won't harm you." Pei Huaixuan said: "Today we brothers get together, and when I am free, I will also entertain him, thank him for taking care of you." Of course the reason is not Said clearly.

"Well, it's really thanks to him, otherwise I really can't handle many things by myself." Song Yingbai said.

"By the way, I heard that Xing Qianhu seems to have a gap with you..."

"It's just some small frictions, which have been exposed long ago. With Li Zhen here, others dare not touch me."

Pei Huaixuan nodded, "I'm relieved to know that you have him to take care of you and you haven't suffered any hardship."

The place where Pei Huaixuan lived was quite far from Song Yingbai's house, and the two of them walked for a while before they arrived.

It is also the third courtyard, and the area occupied by Pei's mansion is obviously much larger than that of Song Yingbai's house.

As soon as the two entered the door, Pei Huaixuan said to the housekeeper who came to greet him: "This is Song Baihu, remember, he will come as a guest in the future, so there is no need to report."

The butler hurriedly nodded, and at the same time smiled at Song Yingbai, taking note of his appearance.

Song Yingbai followed him to the yard, "I forgot to ask, do I have a sister-in-law?" If so, I'll see you soon.

Pei Huaixuan raised her eyebrows, "There is no mistress in this house, only a maidservant who warms the bed. However, it doesn't matter if I am like this, but you have to get married. Once the filial piety period on your body is over, you should pay attention to Luo Yi's marriage, always floating around like this." There is no way, you have to live a normal life."

Song Yingbai said with emotion that the thinking of relatives is different from that of friends, and Li Zhen would never say such things.

Pei Huaixuan prepared a sumptuous meal for Song Yingbai. After a few glasses of wine, he patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "If anyone bullies you in the future, you can tell him directly."

I can do it, I have my brother here, so I don't need to bother outsiders. "

Song Yingbai nodded hurriedly, as long as Cao Xiaochuan dared to trouble him, he would complain to his brother immediately.

Pei Huaixuan poured wine for him, "In this world, I can't guard anything, but I have to guard you."

"Let me come." Song Yingbai took the jug, filled the wine for both parties, raised the glass and said, "Brother, I would like to toast you."

"Good brother, I just drank your glass of wine!" Pei Huaixuan picked up the glass and drank it down.

Song Yingbai also raised his neck and drank the wine to the last drop.

—

Early the next morning, Song Yingbai took the initiative to visit Li Zhen. As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said, "Look, it's the same as what I said, I'm fine!"

Li Zhen knew that he was fine. After all, he also sent someone to follow Song Yingbai. He knew exactly how he got into Pei's mansion and how he got out last night.

He felt uncomfortable, and said expressionlessly: "It's fine."

Song Yingbai bent down and lay on his desk, "Are you still angry with yesterday?"

The faces of the two were so close, Li Zhen lost his mind for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, his eyes drooped, "Aren't you the one who was angry yesterday?"

Song Yingbai turned to him and said with a smile, "Then I won't be angry, and you shouldn't be angry either."

Hearing what he said, Li Zhen couldn't hold her breath any longer. She tapped his forehead vigorously, and laughed too: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Although Song Yingbai didn't like him doing this, he still endured it, "So, as you can see, Pei Huaixuan sincerely expressed his love to us. He said that he will invite you to dinner in a few days."

"No." Li Zhen snorted coldly, "Just keep it as it is now, no need to go any further."

Song Yingbai doesn't force it, let nature take its course, Li Zhen, a suspicious patient who has always had no friends, is understandable to be skeptical and resistant when faced with a "friendship" who suddenly comes to him.

-

A few days later, Ye Xian roughly figured out her identity. Her name is Yang Ruo. Her father was the guard of the Northwest Frontier Town. In the battle, he died unfortunately, leaving his wife Wang and her daughter as widows.

However, this Wang's family background is very unusual, her mother's family is Liang Guogong's mansion, the family members are prosperous, there are many children who are officials or high-ranking marriages in the family, and now the favorite concubine in the palace is from this family.

After Wang's widowhood, the Duke's Mansion saw that their orphans and widowed mothers were pitiful, so they often went back to live in their natal homes, and they basically didn't go back to the northwest. She basically grew up in the capital, because she was beautiful, lively, and her father was A general who sacrificed his life for the country, so he was loved by the old Duke and his wife.

Although she is an orphan who lives in a sojourn, no one in the Duke's Mansion dares to provoke Yang Xian. She is just like the granddaughter of the Duke's Mansion, so she has an unrestrained temper. That's why she went to pick the kites on the rockery by herself, but she stumbled and fell to the ground. dizzy thing.

The real Yang Ruo is lively and informal, which is very beneficial to her. If there is an unruly behavior, other people will not be surprised.

She has been recuperating in bed for the past few days, and as soon as she is able to go underground today, she urges her mother to find the young man in her dream.Her mother had lost her father and was widowed, and she was like an eyeball. When her daughter's condition stabilized, she would go to her own sister, Mrs. Cheng Ninghoufu, non-stop.

As an elder sister, Mrs. Cheng Ninghou cherishes this younger sister who has been widowed early in her heart, and she usually responds to her requests. When encountering a major event with a good niece, she naturally dare not delay, so she quickly called her son Zhou Xuan, "Your aunt has I entrust you, you must do it well, not carelessly."

Zhou Xuan was too promiscuous a few years ago and was sent to the Northwest by his father, and was only recently recalled to the capital, and he is still in a state of abiding by the rules, "Mother, aunt, tell me, what you ask me to do, I will definitely put my heart into it. "

Wang then told how her daughter dreamed about General Jinjia and how she was directed to find her husband, and finally told her, "But don't talk nonsense when you go out, it's bad for your cousin's reputation."

"Aunt, don't worry, am I the kind of person who can't be counted, but is that man in golden armor really uncle?"

When Wang mentioned her deceased husband, she couldn't help crying, "Aside from him, who else cares about our family Ruo'er so much? I knew he was thinking about our mother and daughter all the time."

Mrs. Cheng Hou also wiped her tears, "It's really hard for you to drag Ruo'er so big by yourself."

Zhou Xuan thought to himself, there are maids and servants to take care of her, and there are people at home to help, so it is not my aunt who is pulling it all by herself, but of course I can't say this kind of teasing, "I have a friend in Jinyiwei, I will go to him and ask , Aunt, tell me about that person's characteristics."

In the past few days, Mrs. Wang has heard her daughter talk about the appearance of that young master countless times, and she has long been familiar with it, and described it to Zhou Xuan in detail, "By the way, he should have an official position."

The more Zhou Xuan heard it, the more something was wrong. Why does this person feel so much like Li Zhen? There are not many people in the capital who can match the height and appearance described by his aunt, and they are still in Jinyiwei. Apart from Li Zhen, he can who is it.

If that general Jin Jia was really an uncle, he wouldn't have randomly picked a husband for his daughter, anyway, he would have a good background.

Thinking about it this way, Li Zhen's possibility rose sharply.

But if this person is Li Zhen, then my aunt and cousin may be wronged, "...I think the person in my cousin's dream... is very similar to Li Zhen, the grandson of Duke Jing, but I'm not sure, I Let’s inquire again.”

"Li Zhen?" Mrs. Cheng Ninghou also met Li Zhen a few times, although not many times, but she had a deep impression, "Hey, don't say it, when I think about it, it's really possible that it's him, his age and position are right. Come on, this is a good marriage."

Zhou Xuan couldn't help pouring cold water on him, "It's him who's in trouble, his temper... When I met him a few days ago, his attitude towards me was so bad."

Mrs. Cheng Ninghou said: "Then you have a lack of moral character, so he ignores you. Your cousin Bingxue is smart, who would not like it? How about this, you invite him to your house and tell your cousin to take a look through the curtain, If it's really him, I'll think of a way for Ruo'er."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xuan immediately waved his hand, "He is very busy every day, I'm afraid he doesn't have time to visit our house. If you want to check, I'm afraid I can only ask my cousin to take a car and take a look at him on the road."

Mrs. Cheng Ninghou hated iron and steel and said: "You are ashamed to say it, how come you are in such a state that you can't even invite a friend to your home."

Zhou Xuan was silent.

Wang hurriedly smoothed things over, "It's too troublesome to invite my family. I think Xuan'er's words are very reasonable. Anyway, it's just to recognize people. It's fast and convenient to take a carriage to have a look. Let's do it like this. I'll go back and let Ruo'er prepare it. "

Wang left in a hurry, and soon, she took her daughter back to Chengninghou Mansion.

Zhou Xuan has been away from home for the past few years. In his impression, his cousin is still a little girl like a tomboy, but he didn't want to see a bright and beautiful beauty, and he was startled. When did she become so beautiful? ?Eighteen changes in the female college, the ancients never deceived me.

When she heard that she was going to see the young master whom she had been thinking about day and night, she was very obedient, and she could do whatever she was asked to do, following her cousin Zhou Xuan's orders.

The Wang family sent several trusted servants to follow her daughter, put her in a carriage, and asked Zhou Xuan to lead her out.

Sitting in the car, she lifted the curtain to look at the scenery outside the window from time to time. She was so excited that she couldn't contain herself, and she occasionally lowered her head and pursed her lips to snicker.

Now, she puts the fishbone in a small bag in her sleeve, and she can make a wish at any time.She felt that the process of seeing him was too slow today, so she made a wish to Yubone to see him sooner, but she did not expect her mother to bring good news as soon as she went to Chengninghou Mansion.

It was the first time for her to ride in a carriage since she was born, and she realized that it was so easy to go out, without worrying about the wind and rain, and without being crowded with people.

Soon, the car stopped by the side of the road, and she saw her cousin Zhou Xuan get off the carriage in front, leaning against the side of the road waiting for something, and soon, she saw a man in a red flying fish suit riding on horseback, although his expression was rather strange. It was a lot more serious when they first met that day, but she could tell at a glance that it was the young master.

"Ah, it's him!" She excitedly said to the nuns around her, "Is he Li Zhen?"

At this time, I saw my cousin approaching this person, who seemed to know me, which confirmed her guess.

Seeing Li Zhen coming, Zhou Xuan went up to meet him and said, "Is this the government release? Are you free? Let's go have a drink."

"No!" Li Zhen refused mercilessly.

This was completely within Zhou Xuan's expectation, feeling uncomfortable, but not very hurt, "Oh, if you don't go, don't go." After finishing speaking, he turned and returned to the carriage, and ordered the driver to drive away.

On the contrary, Li Zhen wondered, what is Zhou Xuan's purpose?Just to treat him to dinner?And as soon as the carriage he was sitting in left, another one behind him also turned around and left at the same time. Who was sitting in the carriage behind?

Within a few days, Li Zhen knew the answer.

On this day, when he returned home at night, his grandfather sent someone directly to tell him at the second gate, asking him to go to the upper room and tell him something important.

Under normal circumstances, his grandfather would not use the word "important". Li Zhen attached great importance to it. After getting off his horse, he hurried to the upper room to meet his grandfather.

Different from the serious expression he imagined when it comes to "important matters", the grandfather was full of joy, "Your boy is going to have something good."

"A good thing?" Li Zhen didn't think there would be any good things in life except for Song Yingbai's sudden announcement that he also liked him.

Jing Guogong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Uncle Zhou came this afternoon and told me that his brother-in-law's daughter is looking for a husband's house. After we discuss it, you are a good match regardless of your age..."

Before his grandfather finished speaking, Li Zhen already guessed what he wanted to say, "Don't marry!"

"Don't lose your temper, you are so old, I am at your age, your father will reward the servant girl with money." Jing Guogong said: "Look at you in the capital, at your age, there is nothing but filial piety." Some of the living ones are unmarried. In the past two years, my health has been getting worse day by day. If one day I fall down and die, you will have to observe mourning for another three years. Then, what will you do? "

Li Zhen felt completely at ease, "Don't waste your time talking, even Chang'e, I wouldn't marry."

Hearing that the marriage was told to his grandfather by the old Zhou Tou, Marquis of Cheng Ning, and Zhou Xuan's strange behavior a few days ago, Li Zhen somewhat understood, so who is sitting in the carriage behind?If it is an elder, there is no need to hide it. Could it be that she is going to marry him?

Mr. Jing's enthusiasm for being a matchmaker was mercilessly extinguished by his grandson, and he said dissatisfied: "Stinky boy, your tone is not negotiable at all. Why do you hate getting married so much? You have friends, and you have another one." Is your daughter-in-law bad? You are already grown up."

"I'm not in the mood." Li Zhen asked back, "It's you, you've never urged me before, why did you suddenly think of marrying me? Cheng Ninghou's brother-in-law's daughter is probably a three-headed six-armed girl, and you are so concerned."

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Duke Jing sighed: "You don't know, that girl's father was my deputy general, and later he was transferred to be the commander of one party. Unfortunately, when he defended the city, he unfortunately died in battle. Although his widow and daughter are taken care of by their natal family, I don’t need to do anything, but I have been thinking about this child for so many years. You should understand the pain of not having a father. Now Marquis Cheng Ning is here to discuss this matter. I think you are a good match, think about it, isn't that the case."

Facing his grandfather's eloquence, Li Zhen only gave six words: "I will not marry her."

"You can't convince me like this." Jing Guogong lowered his face.

"You want to take care of your ex-subordinate's daughter, I understand, but you can't force me to ration it to me. It's just to fulfill your own thoughts." Li Zhen said: "I, you know, if I don't like No one can force me to do one thing."

Duke Jing was a little annoyed: "You don't want to marry whoever you marry. If there is a suitable candidate, just marry, can't you?"

Li Zhen shook his head.

Duke Jing asked: "Don't you have any sympathy? You compare your heart to your heart. If your friend is called, yes, Song Yingbai. If he dies in battle and leaves a daughter, and you happen to have a son, Or a grandson of the right age, don't you want him to marry her?"

Li Zhen snorted, why did he let his son marry his daughter, I just married him himself.

Seeing a smile on the corner of his grandson's mouth, Duke Jing thought he was shaken, so he heard his grandson say, "I don't have sympathy, whoever has it, marry her."

The implication is that if you sympathize with her, you can marry her yourself.

The words were too ugly, Duke Jing had a headache, lowered his head and rubbed his temples, "Why did I give birth to your father's bastard, and why did your father give birth to such a bastard like you?" The sword flashed out suddenly, "You little bastard, you just need to clean up! Don't run away!"

Seeing his grandfather move the knife, Li Zhen turned around and ran without hesitation, opened the hem of his clothes, and left the old man behind with a few easy steps.

"Nie Zhan, come back to me! Stop him quickly!" Duke Jing chased him out.

The servants in the courtyard saw the old man chasing the young master aggressively with a knife, how could he dare to step forward, even if he wanted to stop him, he couldn't stop him, and watched tremblingly.

Li Zhen stepped out of the gate, just before his horse was brought back to the stable, he turned on the horse, clamped the horse's belly, and ran out of the alley under the angry eyes of the old man.

At this time, other people dared to step forward, grabbing the knife, trying to persuade them, and finally persuaded the cursing old man to go back to the courtyard.

On this side, Li Zhen "escaped from birth", and as soon as he left the alley, he had already figured out where to go.

In one breath, he hit the horse directly to Song Yingbai's house, jumped off the horse, and knocked on the door.

Hearing the movement, the door opened and saw Li Zhen, hurriedly said, "Come in, come in." Li Zhen is the young master's friend and boss, and when he comes to the Song Mansion, he always enters directly without a notification.

Seeing Li Zhen, the servant who knew Song Yingbai's whereabouts hurried up to greet him and took him to the study, "Lord Li, our young master is in the study."

Li Zhen came to the door of the study, and before he opened the door, he heard the noise of creaking inside. When he opened the door curiously, the first thing he saw was a golden monkey with a chain around his neck, squatting on the ground.

In addition to it, there are seven or eight monkeys, some big and some small, some with brown hair and some with golden hair. It looks domesticated.

Song Yingbai stood in the middle of the ground, also looking embarrassed, seeing Li Zhen, he was surprised, "What wind brought you here?"

"What's the matter with these monkeys?" Li Zhen asked puzzled, "Do you want to run a monkey troupe?"

"No, it was sent by Zhenfu Pei. I mentioned Dandan to him occasionally that day, and he seemed to remember it. He thought I liked monkeys, so today he suddenly sent so many." Song Yingbai smiled wryly.

Li Zhen looked at these monkeys, and felt that his heart was firmly scratched by these annoying monkeys, "He really doesn't know what to say, does he like Dandan because he likes monkeys?! He doesn't even give gifts."

"I think he is kind, but he is too reckless." In order to prove that Pei Huaixuan is harmless, he raised his head and smiled and said, "Look, he really wants to be my friend, that's why he bothers so much."

The corner of Li Zhen's mouth twitched, and he said, "However, these monkeys are not suitable for living with humans, so it's better to let them go."

"I think so too." Song Yingbai said, "Dandan is enough."

Li Zhen couldn't agree anymore, "Then Pei Huaixuan don't give it away anymore."

"By the way, why are you here? Do you need me in a hurry?"

Li Zhen was waiting for this sentence, and immediately sighed, pretending to be extremely painful, "My grandfather wanted to kill me, just now, he even chased me all the way to the gate with a knife. Please help me, my ears Is there a wound here? I feel like the blade is going past my ear."

As he spoke, he brought his face closer to Song Yingbai.

Song Yingbai rubbed his ear, "I didn't see the wound, do you feel pain? But, the old man is really strong. Why did you provoke him? It's worth his anger."

He had met the old man a few times, and thought he was a very kind old man, so it was hard to imagine that he would be so furious.

Li Zhen looked into Song Yingbai's eyes, but let go of any emotional fluctuations, "He told me about a marriage without authorization, and asked me to marry the daughter of his former subordinate. I didn't want to, so we quarreled."

Unfortunately, not only did Song Yingbai not have any sadness in his eyes, but a smile flashed across them.

"Haha, you were forced into marriage. From this point of view, it's better for me." Song Yingbai gloated.

Li Zhen felt that his grandfather scolding him was far less depressing than Song Yingbai's haha, "Aren't you sorry for me?"

Only then did Song Yingbai realize that this was not a simple forced marriage, but that it involved Li Zhen's beloved, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I almost forgot that you have a sweetheart. I think the old man just wants to hug his great-grandson, so you might as well have a showdown with him , maybe he is eager to embrace his grandson, even if there is a feud between your two families, he can turn the fight into friendship."

"No, if I say I want to marry that young lady, my grandfather will probably be even more angry than he is now, and things will only get worse." Li Zhen said.

"I think the old man will calm down in a few days."

"Yeah, it will take a few days, but where will I sleep tonight, he chased me with a knife, I dare not go back." Li Zhen said.

Song Yingbai couldn't help laughing: "All of you are here, why are you pretending to be polite. You can stay with me as long as you want."

"Really?"

"Of course, which of us is with whom." Song Yingbai smiled.

Li Zhen also smiled.
