Jinyiwei work report

Song Yingbai was in a dilemma between the two of them. I really wanted to say, I'd better kill myself.

He couldn't make up his mind, wishing he could find a place to sneak in and escape immediately.

Li Zhen decided that Pei Huaixuan had no chance of winning. After all, so many things had happened between him and Song Yingbai, how could Pei Huaixuan be comparable, but Song Yingbai was still hesitant when his closeness and estrangement were so obvious. He said anxiously: "Song Yingbai, Stop your mind wandering, and make up your mind."

Unexpectedly, when Pei Huaixuan heard this, he said displeasedly: "Since you want him to make up his mind, can you stop urging him?"

What are you? You are inferior to me in everything, and you dare to teach me a lesson. Li Zhen said: "We have a friendship, so what does it matter to you?!" After that, he said to Song Yingbai: "Don't pay attention to him, we Walk."

Pei Huaixuan made up his mind to intervene, "Are you afraid that Song Yingbai will make a decision and you will lose face?"

When Li Zhen heard this, he laughed dumbly, "I'm afraid you will lose face, okay, let's not rush anyone, it depends on what Song Yingbai says."

Both of them looked at Song Yingbai again. This time, they didn't rush, but everyone's eyes were full of confidence.

Song Yingbai had a confused feeling about who I am and where I am, why he got involved in this vortex full of bloody storms.

If there was a river in front of him, he would jump into it and swim.

"This... getting promoted and getting rich is a happy event in life, how can we not celebrate it." Song Yingbai used nonsense to delay time, "And Xie Zhongyu's matter was resolved safely, which is also a great joy. Although he is not here, everyone knows that This is indeed a happy event, haha."

Li Zhen and Pei Huaixuan looked at him, hugged their shoulders one after another, and looked expressionlessly at how he could delay the time.

"..." Song Yingbai had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "This is called double happiness. Since it is a big happy event, it is natural to celebrate it! So let me take care of it, and send thousands of households in the yamen and Nanzhen Fu The company’s employees are all called here, the more people there are, the more lively it is! Don’t you think so?”

If my brother wanted to participate, he definitely couldn't refuse. The only way was to expand the list of invitations to include him.

As for Li Zhen, it was impossible to cancel the celebration, so this was a compromise.

Pei Huaixuan had no objection, "Okay."

Li Zhen was dissatisfied, he wanted to celebrate alone with Song Yingbai instead of having a noisy banquet, "Forget it, we won't do it."

Seeing this, Song Yingbai stepped forward to persuade you with a smile: "I have already said that I am the host, you have to give me this face, besides, if you don't do it today, someone else will come to congratulate you another day. Ruliu, when outsiders look at it, they think something big has happened to my Song family."

Li Zhen is currently staying at Song Yingbai's house, and after a few days when the official document is issued, someone will definitely come to congratulate him. The last time there were so many carriages and horses in front of Song's house, it was his uncle who died. Unknowing neighbors might think that his family Something big has happened.

In order not to cause trouble for Song Yingbai, Li Zhen said, "Well, it's up to you."

Song Yingbai heaved a sigh of relief, and gave him a big smile, and finally settled the matter satisfactorily without offending both parties.

When Pei Huaixuan heard Li Zhen's tone, he became very angry, as if he had such a close relationship with Song Yingbai.This person is Li Zhen, but anyone who changes to a lowly official position or has no backing has already been beaten to death by him hundreds of times.

However, Li Zhen's thoughts are not to be seen, he is confident that he can drive him away from his brother.

Song Yingbai called the entourage next to him, and ordered: "Go back to the Jinyiwei yamen and inform each of the thousands of households that we will hold a final banquet for Master Li at the Aloft Restaurant tonight."

The banquet held by officials for promotion is called Shaowei Banquet. As soon as you hear it, you know that Mr. Li has been promoted again, and the banquet is to celebrate the promotion.

The entourage was ordered to go back and inform before the government was released.

Song Yingbai saw that the atmosphere between the two was not harmonious, so in order to ease the atmosphere, he also told two things that he thought were interesting, but the two people beside him did not smile at all, and their faces were sullen.

After riding the horse to the restaurant, Song Yingbai ordered food downstairs.

In the private room, Pei Huaixuan said to Li Zhen: "I don't know how many people can come in a while, whether this restaurant can fit in."

Li Zhen sneered and said, "I don't want so many people to come, the fewer people the better. For example, if there are more than one Xie Zhongyu now, it won't be so easy."

At this time, Song Yingbai went upstairs and saw them chatting, and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about?"

Pei Huaixuan said casually: "I'm telling Master Li an interesting thing, that is, when I went to another place to handle a case, a local official who was investigated wanted to bribe me and gave me two male actors. came back."

Song Yingbai knew that his brother liked women, and said with a smile: "Then this official really kicked the slate."

"I felt disgusted from the bottom of my heart, so I sent someone to arrest him, so I told him that as long as he touches these two actors in front of me, I will let him go. Guess what, he was trembling, he was so scared I couldn't do anything. So I took him back to the capital for investigation." After Pei Huaixuan finished speaking, he looked at Li Zhen: "I don't know if Master Li has ever had the experience of being flattered like this."

Song Yingbai had only one thought after hearing this, his brother is indeed a pervert, not adulterated.

Li Zhen couldn't figure out what Pei Huaixuan was thinking. Since he didn't have a broken sleeve, what was he doing pestering Song Yingbai, "That's not true. However, that official can't see what you like. What do you do for so many years in the officialdom. "

"Because at that time, like Master Li, I hid myself very deeply. I didn't accept maids or concubines. Everywhere I went, I didn't even listen to ditties of singers, so it caused people to misunderstand." Pei Huaixuan's mouth curled up. With a hint of a smile, "I don't know if Master Li is the same as I was before."

"..." Li Zhen said with a cold face, "Pei Zhenfu, do you think it's appropriate for you to ask this kind of question?"

Pei Huaixuan didn't answer his question, but turned to Song Yingbai, "I heard that you have a very close relationship with Lord Li. Someone said that you are his puppet brother. Is it true?"

The so-called Qidi is a saying in the southeast region. The original meaning refers to two men who are close and sworn brothers as contract brothers. However, with the development, the meaning has changed. The current meaning refers to the broken sleeve.

Even in the local area, it has developed to the point that two men who are brothers to each other eat and sleep together like a husband and wife.

Song Yingbai had never been to the southeast, so he didn't understand this statement, so he thought it was a literal meaning, as a good brother who signed a life-and-death contract, was about to answer.

Seeing Li Zhen slapping the case angrily, "Pei Huaixuan, are you courting death?"

Song Yingbai stared at him blankly, then heard a click, the table broke from the middle and collapsed in front of their eyes, the teapots and cups on the table shattered to the ground.

Seeing that Li Zhen was so angry, he knew that Qidi must not be a good word, so he used his brain a little to make an extension, and he guessed [-]% to [-]% in his heart that it should be a curse word.

"We don't have such a relationship!" Song Yingbai didn't expect his brother to even find out the previous rumors. Seeing his misunderstanding, he hurriedly said: "Don't believe it, someone did spread it before, but it was all hundreds of years ago. It’s the old calendar, and the rumors have been refuted long ago!”

Li Zhen was annoyed, and said to Song Yingbai: "What is he, why do you have to explain to him?!"

Pei Huaixuan must be tired of work, dare to contradict him so openly, really does not leave room for him.

What Song Yingbai feared most happened. The two clashed fiercely.

He hurriedly pushed Li Zhen away, "There are still a few private rooms over there, let's talk over there."

Pei Huaixuan, on the other hand, continued to sit on the chair indifferently, showing a hint of a smile towards the backs of the two of them leaving.

Song Yingbai pushed Li Zhen to the next room, and closed the door, "Calm down, calm down. We are not afraid of the shadow swaying. I will explain it later, and he will understand."

Li Zhen gritted his teeth in resentment, "Who gave him face, let him utter wild words to question our relationship. He is just the adopted son of a dead eunuch!"

Song Yingbai was taken aback, it turned out that his elder brother chose not to reveal their relationship, it was really for his own good, the eunuch's adopted son was like a label, naturally inferior to others.

"If you question it, then you question it. He's just outspoken. There's nothing malicious about it. I'm not angry. Why do you get angry?" Song Yingbai persuaded: "Besides, it's not necessary to do this on a happy day."

"A big day? Am I married? With whom, with you?" Li Zhen said angrily.

Song Yingbai felt the pain of "being caught in the middle is not a human being", "What are you doing with such a big reaction, if you are serious, you will lose!"

It is understandable that Li Zhen, who is a deeply homophobic person, was suspected of having an unusual relationship with him back then, so he was furious.

After all, it was all rumors before, and I couldn't catch specific people. It's different now. People with lower rank than me say such things in person, which not only loses face, but also insults their personality.

If it wasn't for his presence, it would probably have been a big fight.

Li Zhen said: "I really don't understand, what kind of poison did Pei Huaixuan play to you, you can even bear this kind of humiliation, I thought you would be more angry than me."

Pei Huaixuan claimed that he was not Duanxiu, but he couldn't be trusted completely, as Jinyiwei were all liars without batting an eyelid.

But he provoked his relationship with Song Yingbai face to face. If he didn't deny it in time, he might expose his true thoughts and scare Song Yingbai away.

He now wonders if Pei Huaixuan provoked Song Yingbai to hide in Qiongzhou.

Now the time is not ripe, if Song Yingbai finds out that he likes him, he must have escaped quickly, so he acted so angry just now, there is indeed an element of anger, but it is more of a show.

Song Yingbai persuaded gently: "Speaking out in person is better than hiding the misunderstanding in your heart. It's not like you don't know him, and it's not the first time he speaks badly. Why should you be serious with him? He might just be angry. You, don't fall for the trap, we know it in our hearts, we just smile, it's just that we don't fall for the trap."

Li Zhen is very useful, it sounds obvious that he has a closer relationship with Song Yingbai, "That's true."

Song Yingbai said a bunch of good things again, comforted Li Zhen, then turned around and went out to find Pei Huaixuan.

The table smashed by Li Zhen had already been removed and a new one was replaced. When Pei Huaixuan saw him coming, he asked calmly, "Why is he so angry?"

He had already guessed the reason for Li Zhen's anger. One was a guilty conscience, and the other was that only by showing anger could he continue to lurk beside Song Yingbai as a friend and make a decision later.

Song Yingbai said helplessly: "Brother, even if you know about this kind of rumor, just ask me face to face. Why pull out the tiger's beard, you want to work under his hands after all, it's not good to have a grudge."

Such an offense can be regarded as the next offense. If Pei Huaixuan does not have the backing of the eunuch, life will not be easy in the future.

Pei Huaixuan pretended to be inexplicable and said: "I really didn't expect him to be so angry. This kind of rumor is about the two of you. I just want to ask you in person. Alas, it seems that I was reckless."

Song Yingbai didn't believe that his brother was really that big-hearted, and such offensive words just came out of his head.

The elder brother still heard the rumors and was worried about his relationship with Li Zhen, so he tested their reactions face to face, and would rather offend Li Zhen.

He had to make it clear, "Brother, we really don't have that kind of relationship. Li Zhen really hates broken sleeves. I swear to God to guarantee this!"

Pei Huaixuan just wanted to sigh, my good brother, what's the use of swearing to God, you should get your eyes fixed, that guy Li Zhen is so obvious, can't you see it?Sigh, forget it, it's me, my elder brother, who failed to find you in time, so there are so many hungry wolves lurking around you.

"But judging by his furious reaction, it seems to be the case." Pei Huaixuan pretended to believe it.

"That's right, this kind of rumor started to spread because I was suddenly promoted from a captain to a hundred households. Outsiders saw that I, a little captain, suddenly got lucky, and they didn't like it, so they started to make up this kind of rumor. Actually The reason is that I went out with Li Zhen to perform a mission, and I saved his life by chance, that's why he treated me so well."

Pei Huaixuan nodded silently, "So that's the case, why didn't you tell me earlier, it turned out that I misunderstood. How about it, I'll go and apologize to him."

Song Yingbai was flattered, right? Brother would actually apologize?I thought that he would never apologize at all, and would always be in a deadlock with Li Zhen. "That's a good relationship. We all work together. Enemies should be resolved rather than knotted."

Pei Huaixuan got up and went to the next door with Song Yingbai to look for Li Zhen. As soon as he entered the door, he bowed respectfully and said: "Just now, my subordinate offended me. Please forgive me, Lord Li."

Li Zhen was taken aback for a moment, he couldn't see clearly what the other party was doing, but he was sure that Pei Huaixuan had no good intentions.

When he was hesitating, Song Yingbai came forward and said in a low voice, "Let's forget about it." And he mouthed, "I beg you."

Li Zhen can't help it, who can't let him see Song Yingbai begging him, just now he saw the expression of begging him carefully just now, he took it as coquettish, and said coldly to Pei Huaixuan: "That's all, but you have to remember, there will be no next time .”

Pei Huaixuan stood up straight and said, "Actually, what I said just now was indeed indiscriminate. After all, caring makes chaos."

Li Zhen saw that Pei Huaixuan had something to say, so he asked along the way: "What do you care about?"

"To be honest, a fortune teller told me that Song Yingbai's child can visit my adoptive father and help him survive the catastrophe ten years later, so I really care about your relationship with Song Yingbai. If you are really brothers, then My adoptive father is in danger, and I have been struggling with this matter recently. I made up my mind today, thinking that I must ask clearly no matter what, so what happened just now." Pei Huaixuan looked at Song Yingbai, "I will tell Song Yingbai all this But I told him to keep quiet, didn't I?"

In this situation, Song Yingbai couldn't dismantle his brother's position. Besides, this reason was very good, at least it made Li Zhen believe that he was close to Pei Huaixuan, and he was not a victim of a gu, so he said, "...it really happened."

Li Zhen squinted his eyes and sensed Pei Huaixuan, "...So that's how it is..."

"I also care too much about my adoptive father, so I can't choose what to say, but now it's better, there is no misunderstanding between us." Pei Huaixuan smiled relievedly: "That's great, I really misunderstood."

Li Zhen, since you personally admit that you and Song Yingbai don't have that kind of relationship, then you won't be able to find out what I will do in the future.

Song Yingbai smiled from the side: "It's just chasing rumors, how could we have that kind of relationship, it's impossible in this life."

Li Zhen felt that his heart had been poked a few blood holes, and forced a smile, "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's sit down and wait for the banquet."

As soon as the words were finished, the waiter in the shop happily entered the door and said, "My lords, the first wave of customers has arrived and they are tethering their horses downstairs. Are the dishes ready?"

Song Yingbai said happily: "It's fine."

Great, the misunderstanding has been resolved, and we can get along well in the future, he thought with a smile.

Li Zhen didn't believe a word of what Pei Huaixuan said just now. It was all nonsense that his adoptive father was in disaster and Song Yingbai's children looked at him.

But why did Song Yingbai cover up for him?

And Pei Huaixuan, what exactly does he want to do?

-

Because of Li Chen's incident, there was a roast goose banquet, which was released early today. Cheng Dongyi bought a roast goose on the way, and the family of three ate it hot.

At the dinner table, his father told him something, "The youngest son of the old Liu family at the head of the house is lost. His father will come to our house in the afternoon and would like to ask you to help him find it. Is it convenient for you?"

As soon as Cheng Dong was eating, he glanced at the green parrot standing on the bird stand. There was no such thing in his house before. It just appeared today. Needless to say, it was sent by the Liu family, "Father, you will take all the benefits Yes, can I not check."

Cheng Dongyi's father didn't refute, "That's good, use some snacks. His family has been passed down for several generations, and there is only such a son. Now that he is lost, he mobilizes relatives to look for him, and he is going crazy."

"Relatives? Uncle Liu's four sons-in-law, right?" Liu's family opened a rice shop with five children, four girls and one boy. The girls were all married, and only their sons were with them.

"You know the kid, don't you?"

He has seen that child before, and his features are obvious, "sissy, Erjiaozi." I wonder if there are too many women in the family, and the parents are too precious, so that he is obviously a man, but behaves like a woman.

"Stop paying attention to people, anyway, if you recognize someone, hurry up and find someone."

"Look, I'll find someone to help me after I've finished my meal." Cheng Dongyi, like the other Jinyiwei spies, has a few private eyeliners, most of whom are rogues, and they usually go shopping on the street , the news is extremely well-informed.

As soon as Cheng Dong had dinner, he told his eyeliner about it when he went out for a walk.

On the morning of the third day, good news came, the man was found, in an embroidery workshop.

Cheng Dongyi took advantage of his lunch break and came to the embroidery workshop to find someone in person. As soon as he revealed his identity, the owner of the embroidery workshop was so scared that he quickly called Liu Wulang out, "Someone from your family has come to look for him, and we can't take him in here." You, you go back quickly."

The Liu Wulang in front of him is completely different from Cheng Dongyi's impression. This is not Liu Wulang, but Liu Wuniang.

The other party was wearing a skirt, holding her hair in a bun, smeared with makeup, and looked like a daughter, "So it's Brother Cheng, I won't go back, I'm here to learn needlework, and I will support myself by handicrafts in the future, tell my parents, just be a girl." I never gave birth to me."

When Cheng Dong heard this, he went up to aim at him and slapped him on the head, "What nonsense are you talking about, your parents raised you so much, and they said they never raised you?! Quickly take off your clothes and change them back to your normal Dress up like that, and come back with me."

The proprietress next to her couldn't stand it anymore, and dissuaded her: "She is a daughter, how can she be so rough to her?"

"What daughter's family?!" Cheng Dong said, "He's a man. Didn't your embroidery shop have a body check before recruiting a embroiderer? Are you afraid of accidents?"

The proprietress frowned and said, "She is a daughter. I personally touched it through the clothes. It is absolutely impossible to fake it."

Cheng Dongyi stared at Liu Wulang, "What's going on?"

"Then let me show you, that's why I won't go home, and I won't go home." Liu Wulang dragged Cheng Dongyi to a secluded place, lifted his skirt to show him the truth, "this extra thing , I have already given it away, and now I feel very relaxed, I should be a girl."

"..." Cheng Dong opened his mouth slightly in surprise, "You were castrated?" But the time was wrong, he had only been missing for a few days, if he was really castrated, it would never be healed so soon.

Liu Wulang put down his skirt, "Okay, please go back and tell my parents about this."

Cheng Dongyi grabbed his collar, "How did you do it?" What kind of sorcery is this?Ever since he experienced the mirror demon, he is very keen on ghosts and gods.

Seeing his viciousness, Liu Wulang was a little scared: "It's the carp celestial! I worshiped the carp celestial! I still have ten years to live, so I can't just give up like this, and I won't go back with you."

Cheng Dongyi picked up his back collar and walked out, "Where is this evil god? Show me the way. You are only 14 years old, you know a shit, it's too early to make a decision, you will cry sooner or later! I will take you to change return!"

-

A few days after the burning banquet, the announcement of Li Zhen's promotion to Tongzhi was officially issued, but he was not happy because Pei Huaixuan came to mess with him and Song Yingbai when he had nothing to do.

Now he has two guesses about Pei Huaixuan.The first one, he took a fancy to Song Yingbai, first broke them up, and then took advantage of it.Second, I may not know when I provoked him, and he saw that he liked Song Yingbai, so he made trouble and disturbed him.

Because he took over the affairs left by Yuan Tongzhi, it was already the beginning of the day when he left the Jinyiwei Yamen.

As soon as he went out, he saw the old housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion waiting for him, saluted him, and begged him, "Master, the marriage of the Yang family has passed, when will you move back, the Lord of the Kingdom recently miss you."

Li Zhen said: "I think his old man's anger has not subsided yet, so I'd better not go back."

"It's gone, it's gone too much." The housekeeper smiled and said: "The old man knew that I was coming to see you, and he told me, let me ask you, the weather is getting colder, do you have winter clothes? This is all about concern." you."

"I have something to wear, tell him not to worry about me. I will go back, but not now." After finishing speaking, Dama left.

Li Zhen made up his mind that he couldn't leave Song Yingbai's side no matter what. He always had a premonition that Pei Huaixuan was going to do something.

After asking the maid, knowing that Song Yingbai was in the living room, he went directly to look for him.

Before he opened the door, he smelled a faint fragrance, which wafted out along the crack of the door.

His bad premonition was very strong, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Song Yingbai standing with a troubled face, while two women were kneeling at his feet.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two women looked back, one was born gorgeously, like a peony, and the other was born with cold eyebrows, like a green plum.

Li Zhen gritted her teeth secretly, pretending to be nonchalant and asked, "Who is this?"

"Pei Zhenfu said he wanted to send me two horses. When I heard it, it was very good, so I said yes. But in the afternoon, these two women were sent." Song Yingbai said depressedly. In fact, he wanted a pony that could run. Ju, but what is this in front of me, the product is not the right version.

Li Zhen snorted and said with a smile: "He means a thin horse." Yangzhou specialty.

"I didn't hear clearly. I was very busy at the time, but it must be some kind of horse." Song Yingbai scratched his forehead, and said to the two women in distress: "I will send you back later."

When the two women heard that they were going to be sent back, they panicked and cried, "Your Excellency, please accept our sisters. Lord Pei said that if we are sent back, we will cut off our noses."

Song Yingbai felt that Pei Huaixuan could do it, and looked at Li Zhen, "What can I do?"

Li Zhen understood that Pei Huaixuan had provoked him before, forcing him to admit that he hadn't broken his sleeves, but just to give these two women away today and make him dumb and eat Coptis chinensis.

Li Zhen said blankly: "Let me ask you, do you know what a Yangzhou skinny horse is?"

Song Yingbai shook his head. He found that he lacked research on homestays, and he was not clear about the previous title, but he could guess it from the words, but he couldn't guess the thin horse in Yangzhou.

The matchmaker bought beautiful little girls from poor families, taught them piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, raised them up and sold them to rich families as concubines or female pets. This is the Yangzhou skinny horse.

The two in front of me are, according to Li Zhen's estimation, the two that Pei Huaixuan sent to Song Yingbai are worth thousands of taels of silver. "

Li Zhen said again: "Then do you know what a green hat is?"

"I know this, what's the matter?" According to the regulations of this court, the men of the Jiaofang Division must have green scarves wrapped around their heads!And their wives are mostly prostitutes, the kind who perform arts and sell themselves, so the men who control their wives cheating are called "wearing green scarves", that is, wearing cuckolds.

Li Zhen didn't speak, looked at Song Yingbai and the two skinny horses, and thought to himself, it seems that Pei Huaixuan wants to get him a hat too.
