Heshen is a strict wife
Chapter 57 Nalan
Su Ling's family has two daughters, one is the eldest daughter, Yuan Lan, who is seventeen years old, just a good age to marry, and the youngest daughter, Nalan, is only thirteen, but she is also cute and cute, and Su Ling's favorite.
Su Ling Anai is a member of the Tala family in the Zhengbai Banner of Manchuria. Yongzheng was admitted to the cabinet in the third year, and Qianlong was only in the tenth year of Qianlong. The road slowed down.In the 27th year of Qianlong, he was demoted for the crime of negligence, and he never got better.
I have been an official for more than 40 years, and I also have a lot of wives and concubines. I am always unhappy in this officialdom.
Su Ling'a has always wanted to climb up, but she has been lacking the support of people in the court, or the same sentence - it is difficult to be an official if there is no one in the court.
Just after the Jingcha this year, Su Ling'a had his eye on He Shen. Originally, he wanted to flatter He Shen when he was promoted to be the servant of the household department, but the An Ming case suddenly happened two days ago. He Shen seemed to be depressed again, and Su Ling'a suddenly doubted his own judgment.
He thought about it for a while, but before he came up with any results, he heard that his eldest daughter and Heshen's younger brother Helin saw each other right. He was thinking whether this was a blessing or a curse, but he immediately heard a message Shen was on duty at the Military Aircraft Department, this was a terrible thing, his wrinkled hands almost immediately knocked over the teacup in hand, and he was so excited that he couldn't help it.
Su Ling'a was very happy when her eldest daughter met He Lin.
This morning, he took Yuan Lan's hand, asking her to please He Lin, and not to lose He Lin's favor and affection. The youngest daughter, Nalan, sat by the side and played with the peach blossom branch she had just picked in her hand, with a naive look on her face. Cute appearance, looking at myself, Ama talking to her sister.
After Su Ling'a had finished talking with Yuan Lan, she turned around and saw her cute little daughter, suddenly she had a thought and asked her to come over and talk.
Nalan didn't expect that Ama would have something to say to himself. She was originally here with her sister, but she was a little confused at this time. After walking over, she saw Su Ling'a looking at her with a smile on her face .
Su Ling, who is always good at calculating, has finally climbed up the big tree of He Shen. At this time, she doesn't want to let go. She just wants to make the relationship between the two families deeper.
At that moment, he said a few words to Nalan and let Nalan go down.
Next, a banquet was held in Juxian Building to celebrate He Shen. A few days ago, he was suddenly downgraded to a second level and retained, but today he went directly to the military aircraft department as if he had stepped into the sky. It's not far away, even Fu Kang'an, whom the emperor has always loved, doesn't have this ability, but now he is captured by He Shen, who is of ordinary background, which really makes everyone dare not look down upon him.
At this time, everyone in the court began to really look at this different He Shen differently.
Under the surface of ups and downs, there must be a heart that is good at calculating.
Upstairs in Juxian, it can be said that there is a lot of toasting. He Shen knows that today he has to drink. It is one thing not to accept the gift. It is for the emperor to see. After all, it is a secret thing, even if the gift is sent back. , everyone can't say anything.But in this Juxian building, they all drink and talk face to face, and they can't really save anyone's face.
Feng Shuangzhi was very smart, he said early in the morning that wine was something to drink, but he couldn't drink too much.
He Shen can also use the shrewd wife at home as an excuse to push alcohol. Everyone knows his reputation of being fearful of guilt, so he will not be too strong in persuading him to drink.
Fu Changan has a good relationship with Heshen, but he knows Heshen's virtue. He walked up with the wine glass, saying that he has known Heshen for several years. He must drink the glass of wine he toasted. of.
Looking at Fu Chang'an's eyes, He Shen knew that he had to drink, but he said that he was in a difficult position while holding up the wine glass, and that he could hold as much as he could.
Everyone continued to drink, you come and go, it is a good time to exchange feelings.
Su Ling'a came late, so he sat beside him, followed by a boy who looked like a servant, who looked very young.
Immediately, someone was sitting beside him, pointing at the person standing behind him and said: "This boy is quite handsome, could it be you, my lord..."
Su Ling'a's complexion changed, and she didn't like this person's frivolity in her heart, just because the boy standing behind was her daughter disguised as a man, it didn't make sense for this person to say that.
Standing behind was Nalan, she snorted in her heart, she just wanted to pooh the dog official's face, but she couldn't show any expression on her face, she just stood with her head down, without saying a word.
After drinking, I went to watch a play in the theater garden below Juxian Building.
Everyone congratulated He Shen, and occasionally went up to say a word, and more people were listening to the play.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, a small blue sedan chair came below, and Feng Shuangzhi was sitting in it. At this time, she lifted the curtain and heard voices from the theater garden below Juxian Building.
I don't know where the Huizhou opera singer came from, with a non-local accent, with a slightly shrill accent, he walked leisurely from the inside to the outside.
Feng Shuangzhi entered the Juxian Building, and the shopkeeper inside was making plans. He looked up and saw a female guest coming in. He was a little surprised, but he smiled kindly: "Madam, the Juxian Building has been closed today. Once the bag is packed, you can welcome the guests in—”
Feng Shuangzhi just waved his hand, Liu Quan'er was sweating coldly, stepped forward to give the ingot of silver to the shopkeeper, and said: "We belong to Hefu, Madam just went up to have a look, what are you worried about?"
"..." The shopkeeper was suddenly speechless, and wanted to say, "It's because you want to go up to see me that I'm worried", but then swallowed it down again. This is notoriously tough with my wife, and it's not easy to deal with.
Seeing Feng Shuangzhi turn around and go upstairs, the shopkeeper wanted to go up to report the news, but he didn't want Feng Shuangzhi to go up the stairs, so he turned his head and happened to bump into the shopkeeper and beckoned the waiter down there embarrassingly.
She smiled slightly, thinking how could she be so scary?It's just because I'm too worried about He Shen, I'm afraid that he might be drunk, so I'll come and see it earlier... It's not that I don't have other worries, but I won't tell others.
"Don't panic, shopkeeper, as long as I'm an opera listener. It's a skill to invite this actor from Huizhou."
The shopkeeper heard her say this in a melodious voice, and saw her turn around and walk upstairs without seeming to mind at all, so he raised his sleeves and frantically wiped the cold sweat.
Seeing that Liu Quan'er was about to follow up, she didn't know why she thought of something, so she stepped back and leaned into the shopkeeper's ear and asked, "My lord, are you listening to a play up there now?"
The shopkeeper looked at He Shen, and always felt that this person was just like himself, and seemed to be a little jealous of Mrs. He. At this time, he remembered Liu Quan'er's identity, and as if he saw a savior, he pulled Liu Quan'er's hand and cried: "How do I know if I'm really listening to an opera? It's not like you don't know that adults sometimes play very well, and there are many actors who are willing to commit themselves. I just gave them a garden to sing. I don’t know what little things the man is playing with.”
Liu Quan'er was in a cold sweat when he heard that some grown-ups like to flirt with actors, and my father should not like it, but I don't know what my wife will see if she goes up...
Liu Quan'er suddenly felt cold under her feet, she didn't even care about what to say to the shopkeeper, she turned around and followed, walked two steps quickly to Feng Shuangzhi's side, and was about to stop Feng Shuangzhi directly when she saw something was wrong.
It's just a good thing, after they went up, the place to listen to the opera was on the back-shaped corridor, and they just walked to the lobby now.
Su Ling'a happened to be sitting on the side, and he was talking about the actor's appearance to the people next to him.
"Look at this actor, the eyebrows are so well drawn, tsk...it's really attractive..." The Nalan man who said that she was disguised as a man pointed to a female role on the stage, with a bit of lust in her eyes.
This is the state of the officialdom, and now the people sitting here are basically imperial court officials, listening to operas and prostitutes, unspeakably romantic, I don’t know what kind of Qinlou Chu Pavilion this is, not the Juxian Tower play garden.
Feng Shuangzhi's complexion changed when she heard the obscene words, but for some reason, Feng Shuangzhi stood in the lobby and did not go around to the theater.
Su Ling'a, who was the closest to Feng Shuangzhi's station, took the man's words, "My boy also knows some rap opera—"
"Oh, Mr. Su, your servant is really good." The man exaggeratedly shouted, and greeted everyone, "Master Su Ling'a said that his servant can also sing operas, but you can't say such a big talk Yes, you boy looks like a delicate skin and tender meat, but singing an opera is not an easy job, don't talk nonsense!"
That servant is naturally Nalan who is the female companion in men's clothing. When she heard this, the arrogance in her heart was aroused, and instead of following Su Ling'a's previous script, she stood up and said, "This servant can really sing!" One thing, Mr. Zhang, don't look down on people."
Everyone's attention has been attracted, it's good that the next show has come to an end, the actors with heavy makeup are off, and everyone has nothing to watch, so they all came to see the boy behind Su Ling'a.
Speaking of which, the boy looks really good, with slender eyebrows, a pair of leering almond eyes, a small nose and mouth, an oval face, and a sharp chin. He turned out to be a standard "male and female appearance". She didn't even lose a bit to Hua Dan who just got off the stage.
Suddenly, some people thought about it and asked this young man to have a while.
He Shen watched from behind without saying a word. After he was half-drunk, he was given a few drinks, especially Fu Changan, who knew He Shen's drinking capacity and was the main force of drinking. I can persuade you to have a few drinks.
Seeing that He Shen seemed a little drunk now, he filled himself a glass and said with a smile: "In the past, Mr. He was afraid of guilt, but today it is a good thing to be drunk."
He Shenxin said where the good thing came from, but it was almost the same if it was bad.
Although Feng Shuangzhi didn't come in, she just listened with her ears, but Liu Quan'er, who was behind her, had already quietly leaned half of her body out, because Feng Shuangzhi was facing the corridor. After all, she had her back to Liu Quan'er, and she didn't know that Liu Quan'er behind her had leaned out and gestured for He Shen.
He Shen calmly took the situation over there into his eyes, complained in his heart, and only hoped that nothing would go wrong for a while, and if his narrow-minded wife saw it, he didn't know when he would be able to coax her back.
"Where did such a good thing come from... just hope not..."
"Sing!"
A lot of people over there suddenly shouted, and He Shen's words were interrupted. He looked over there, and he didn't know what the people over there were making a fuss about, so he asked Fu Chang'an, "Why didn't I see you?" Third brother?"
His third brother is Fukang'an. Fukang'an came today, but he didn't know why he disappeared.
It was said that the banquet was held for He Shen, but it was actually a big gathering of the entire court officials. Most of the court officials came, except for the opposition on Qian Feng's side, even civil officials like Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan came. Everyone drank together.
Ji Xiaolan is a good drinker, she can recite a poem after just a glass of wine. Before she was drunk, she won praises from everyone, but now she started talking nonsense when she was drunk. Liu Yong laughed at him as a bad drinker, and everyone laughed too. laugh.
Wang Jie also came, so he sat down with Ji Yun, looked at He Shen from a distance, and felt strange that he didn't see Fu Kang'an beside Fu Chang'an.
He just paid more attention to Fukang'an because of Chen Xijia's relationship. Now when he turned his head to look at the corner of the exit, he unexpectedly saw Liu Quan'er, and saw Liu Quan'er dancing and gesturing with He Shen. I understood what at once.
Can't Liu Quan'er come over directly if he has something to do?He was gesturing from afar, and it can only be said that there was something blocking him, preventing him from coming out so easily and directly talking to He Shen, and seeing his sneaky appearance, he knew that he was hiding in the dark. Who is the person—Feng Shuangzhi.
Although the number of times I met Feng Shuangzhi can be counted on one hand, this woman Feng Shuangzhi has left a deep impression in Wang Jie's mind, just because every occasion she appears is too special .
Now that he knew that Feng Shuangzhi was coming, Wang Jie suddenly wanted to watch a good show.
The people over there are booing, wanting the young man Su Ling'a brought to perform.
Unexpectedly, the boy had a bit of backbone, and said: "I have no costumes, no costumes, and no stage. Even if I sing, I don't have any taste. I want the boss below to lend me a suit of clothes to sing on stage." .”
He Shen knew that this little servant's identity was probably not simple after hearing that he had changed from "slave" to "I".
Looking at Su Ling, he didn't show anything unusual. He stroked his beard, then got up, and bowed his hands to everyone, "My lords—"
Everyone thought he was going to resign, so Sun Shiyi, who recently returned to Beijing to report on his duties, shouted: "Isn't it just a song? Why are you so coy? Let him go up."
Others also said: "Let him go up."
In fact, Su Ling'a didn't want to decline, but just wanted to ask. Seeing that everyone supported, she asked Nalan to go down and change clothes to go on stage.
Outside, Feng Shuangzhi was surprised, so he turned around and asked Liu Quan'er, "Is it Su Ling who I just heard?"
Is it the Yuanlan's Ama whom Helin fancy?Didn't expect to be here at this time.
There was also a young boy with a good-looking appearance beside him, this Su Ling'a was just like what was written in the history books...
Liu Quan'er saw that He Shen knew that Feng Shuangzhi was coming, so she had already withdrawn her posture. At this time, she was standing obediently behind Feng Shuangzhi, and she didn't notice anything unusual.Hearing Feng Shuangzhi's question at this moment, he replied: "It is indeed Su Ling, who has always been an official in the south, but just came down from Jiujiang Road a few days ago, and was punished by demotion."
No wonder now pay attention to drilling...
Feng Shuangzhi was tired from standing, and seeing that there seemed to be no one in the private room on one side, she asked the waiter below to bring her a cup of tea. I saw a person standing by the window, wearing a dark blue robe, and the light in the room was relatively dim, as if his back was facing this side.
Hearing the sound, Fu Kang'an turned his head and saw Feng Shuangzhi. It's not that he didn't hear the voice of the people outside before, but it was relatively small after all. He thought it was his own illusion, and he never thought that he would see her now.
Feng Shuangzhi was taken aback. She remembered what had happened to her in the Jiangning Palace that day, and closed the door again, only to realize that her back was covered in cold sweat.
Liu Quan'er didn't understand, felt strange, and called her all her life: "Ma'am?"
Feng Shuangzhi suppressed the shock in his heart, and barely said calmly: "Change another room, accidentally pushed the wrong door, and disturbed others."
Pushing the wrong door and disturbing others - this is not only said to Liu Quan'er, but also to Fu Kang'an.
She wanted to put herself aside, she was not in a normal mood, but suddenly became gloomy.
Feng Shuangzhi turned around and looked for another private room. Most of the people in Juxian Building went to wait on the corridor, and few stayed here, and no one knew that the room Feng Shuangzhi pushed away just now had There are people.
Liu Quan'er felt strange, she just felt that something was wrong, who could make his wife react so strongly?
Although she hadn't served Feng Shuangzhi for long, Liu Quan'er also knew that his wife was not a hypocritical person in such a small way... He glanced at the door when he left, and always felt that things were weird.
Here Feng Shuangzhi left, and the room was still in endless silence.
Fukang'an's thumb with a green thumb was pressed on the small white jade wine glass. After withdrawing his gaze, he stood by the window, drank the glass in one gulp, and then turned around and asked, "Ba Dayan? Shang, can't you squeeze out a Wang Rulong?"
In the darkness of the light, there was actually a person sitting, but this position was not directly facing the door, it happened to be behind the bead curtain, and there was half a screen blocking it, so Feng Shuangzhi just couldn't see it except Fukang There are others besides Ann.
The man's shadow fell on the carpet, stretched long, there was the sound of wine falling into the glass, and then the glass was picked up and swallowed softly.It is indescribably miserable to have to drink with this master with injuries on your body, "How can the matter of salt merchants and water transportation be so simple? If it can be done in a short while, will I still sit here and drink with you?"
Fukang'an came over and lifted the wine jug from the table. He didn't know what touched his heart, so he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and said coldly: "I caught you back, why are you drinking with me? Leader Lian, have you considered my conditions?"
The person sitting here is really Lian Shuangcheng.
Today's Lian Shuangcheng is wearing a black silk robe, tapping his left hand on his lap while holding a wine glass in his right hand, with a calm expression on his face, looking like a rich and idle person.He said in a manly voice: "So-and-so Lian managed to run halfway, but your soldiers really deserved to have come out of the battlefield. They killed a whole boat of people from my Cao Gang and captured someone from my company. If you don't agree , I don't know... what happened to someone? "
Lian Shuangcheng himself did not expect it, and He Shen sent him to the pier a few days ago. Lian Shuangcheng is the master of water transportation in nine provinces, and it is always safer to be on the water.What's more, almost all of the water transport in nine provinces is in his hands, so he never thought that he would encounter a Jiang bandit on the way.It was said that it was Jiang Pirates, but in fact it was Fukang'an's people pretending to be him, so they hijacked his boat, buried a boatload of people in water, and even captured him again.
The horror of Fukang'an can be seen from this arresting behavior.
Before his subordinates attacked him, they didn't really want to kill him.
After all, he still has a lot of use value even in Shuangcheng, so a smart person should keep him.
It's just that even Shuangcheng himself has to be smart, he has to make himself useful all the time, so as to ensure that he won't incur a murderous disaster.
Fukang'an didn't think about so many things, his originally calm and chilling mind suddenly became a little chaotic.
The hand holding the wine glass trembled a little, and he couldn't explain where the trembling came from, so he could only shake his head, and said: "Wang Rulong must get the account book in his hand, he won't do it today. If you are willing to hand it over, you will always hand it over in the future.”
"Wang Rulong is as timid as a mouse, how could he be willing to hand over this ledger?" Lian Shuangcheng knew the situation in Yangzhou well. Among them, the Big Four are just the Big Four among the Eight Great Ones.
Wang Rulong is used to adapting to the wind, and has a changeable personality. He is inaccurate in what he sees for a while, and he is an insidious person.
"He holds the account books of the Salt Administration for the past two years, even the account books of the River Works." Fu Kang'an sneered, feeling that Lian Shuang City didn't take things too seriously. Shuangcheng was wounded, and there were actually people guarding the Juxian Building. In the capital, it was on his Fukang'an territory, and even Shuangcheng couldn't escape.
"The account book has too much to do with it. If it really comes out, the entire Jiangnan officialdom will be shaken up. Wang Rulong doesn't have the guts." Lian Shuangcheng still insisted on his opinion. He shook his head and said, "This matter is up to you, Mr. Fu." It doesn't matter, why are you so nervous?"
This was the first time Lian Shuangcheng asked such a question.
He really felt that Fukang'an was not deeply involved in the affairs of the Jiangnan officialdom. In his impression, Fukang'an's relationship with Jiangnan only started recently, but Fukang'an's nervous appearance now is really not good. Like something got involved.
Only Fukang'an himself knew what was going on. He glanced at Lian Shuangcheng, and hearing the slender tone suddenly raised from outside, he suddenly said: "Fang caught you back, I almost forgot that I was listening to an opera. And Let me tell you something, Wang Jie, the new champion of the current department, used to think of suing the emperor about the Jiangnan River Works. The account book for river management is also in the hands of Wang Rulong. This Wang Jie said to everyone in Jiangnan back then. Strong Master', he is a tough one, if Wang Rulong finds him in desperation, you will not be able to eat and walk around."
As soon as these words came out, Lian Shuangcheng frowned immediately, "The power of the eight major salt merchants is intertwined. Recently, Li Yuanfa is from Li Shiyao and Sun Shiyi's side, and the salt quotations from the Lianghuai side are all in their hands. Salt merchants are also difficult to deal with. If they want to stabilize Wang Rulong, it is still too dangerous to just transport smuggled salt. He has to hold a salt guide in his hand to dare to transport things up and down. Without a salt guide, how can he win over Wang Rulong?"
Wang Rulong is also a shrewd person...
How many people have been trapped by this handful of salt?
Fukang'an just made the stakes clear to Lian Shuangcheng, but he himself would not interfere.
Lian Shuangcheng had just been captured, and the people below were afraid that there would be trouble, so they brought him in to question him. Now that they have finished what they should say, if Fukang'an is here all the time, it will definitely arouse suspicion. He reasoned With his own arrow sleeve, he turned around and pushed the door out, but for some reason, when his palm fell on the door, he couldn't resist turning his head, but found an amazing detail.
The lamp was placed on this side of the screen, and Lian Shuangcheng was sitting behind the screen. Originally, this figure was tightly covered, but because of that lamp, there was a long and thin shadow on the ground, which happened to fall by the window.
——Feng Shuangzhi just now, did you notice this?
She noticed.
It's just that I haven't guessed who the person talking to Fu Kang'an in the same room is.
After all, it is normal for someone to sit there on such an occasion. The shadow is a little blurry, and it is even hard to tell whether it is a man or a woman. Maybe she is a female star, and there are many such things in rich and noble families.
After thinking about it for a while, she still felt that this was a bit weird, but she knew she couldn't figure it out, so she didn't waste time on it.
After sitting for a while, she heard the sound of opera singing outside. She heard the sound pleasant, but she was surprised. After taking a sip of tea, she frowned: "This sound is clearly from a girl's house, why is it down there?" Singing?"
Su Ling'a going out anytime to take a girl home?
How can this be?
Nalan loved to listen to operas since she was a child, and she learned a lot from the aunts in the mansion. Now, with heavy makeup and costumes on, she stood on the stage, more than Huadan, with a wave of her sleeves, with a kind of It was romantic and charming, and there was a sense of fascination in the movement of the eyes. The people listening to the opera above were so alive, as if they were seduced by the girl below.
Su Ling'a's reaction to the crowd can be said to be satisfactory, even He Shen seldom heard such a clear voice, although the posing movements are a bit unfamiliar, but the play is sung beautifully.
At the end of the song, there was thunderous applause, which was indescribably lively.
The group of Huizhou opera singers originally invited by Juxian Tower now became Nalan's foil. Seeing Nalan performing hard on the stage, he was sweating profusely after a while. After taking it off, she recovered her daughter's body, and walked in front of everyone.
This time, countless people were dumbfounded.
Just now he said that the young servant had red lips and white teeth, and he didn't want to come out now, she was really a beautiful girl.
Nalan walked to the middle, bowed to everyone in the corridor, walked past He Shen, and returned to Su Ling'a, all eyes were on her.
It was a stunning appearance, almost awe-inspiring.
It's unimaginable that Su Ling's family still has such a good girl.
This old thing can hide and has the ability!
However, the next moment, Nalan bowed in front of Su Ling'a's table: "Ama, it's my daughter who came out to make a fool of herself."
Su Ling'a "haha" laughed twice, but said: "You played with all the grown-ups here, and you still don't make amends? This is a promotion banquet with the grown-ups, and you don't go to the table to make amends ?”
When Fu Kang'an came over, he happened to see this scene, and he roughly guessed what was going on, so he didn't go back to Fu Chang'an and He Shen's table for the time being, but sat directly at Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan's.
Ji Xiaolan was a little drunk, and put the braid on his head, looking like a big fool, he pointed at Fu Kang'an in a daze: "Master Fu, if you kill someone, you will pay for it—— Ouch, who hit me?"
Liu Yong was really going to be stunned by Ji Xiaolan, who was drunk and uttered nothing, so he hit Ji Xiaolan on the head with chopsticks. No matter how senior Liu Yong was, he was much higher than Ji Xiaolan, even if he beat someone like this, he would not what's wrong.
Seeing that Fu Kang'an's face had turned cold, Liu Yong quickly smoothed things over and said: "Master Fu, don't listen to this man's nonsense. When he is drunk, his mouth is full of nonsense. I don't know where he heard the nonsense."
lies?I'm afraid he's telling the truth when he's drunk!
With a sullen face, Fukan'an poured himself a glass of wine, drank it without saying a word.
Wang Jie, who was also sitting at this table, listened to the words, but acted as if he didn't hear them.
Now the husband of my old sweetheart is sitting at the same table with me, this feeling should be very complicated, but I don’t know why, when this happened, Wang Jie became calm instead, as if nothing happened generally.
They talk about themselves here, and they can already watch and play on the other side.
Nalan's first glass of wine was to respect Heshen according to Su Ling'a's instructions, and everyone realized that Su Ling'er had a good plan and wanted his daughter to please Heshen.
It's just that some people think that Nalan is coquettish, and naturally some people think that she is too frivolous. Even if a Manchu girl doesn't have so many rules, she shouldn't have to sing on the stage. How can an actor be compared with a decent girl?
When she was singing, she was already inferior.
Holding the wine glass, Nalan came to He Shen and the others' table, wanted to hand his wine glass to He Shen, bowed his head in salute, showing a bit of shyness. "I also hope that my lord will forgive Nalan for not telling the truth."
Fu Chang'an saw that the old god He Shen was sitting there without moving, so he stretched out his hand and poked He Shen's arm, which meant that He Shen would take the glass of wine.
There are a lot of such things in the officialdom, Fu Changan has long been familiar with them, and He Shen has seen many of them in his early years. When this kind of thing happened to him, he felt that it was a little indescribable.
He shook his head at Fu Chang'an, thinking that his family member might still be in this building, if the wine is picked up, he can only sleep on the carpet when he goes back tonight, don't think about going to bed.
Everyone knew that this was courting and courting, but Su Ling'a's actions were too revealing, and a different person might not be able to toast in person.What to do is to keep it behind your back. If He Shen really has thoughts about Nalan, as long as Su Ling'a expresses something, He Shen will not refuse.This kind of thing is sometimes suitable to be done in private.
It's just that doing it on the bright side also has an advantage, that is, it saves face.
In any case, this Nalan is quite handsome, and He Shen is also extremely handsome and talented. Together, these two people are like a match made in heaven.
But they can only think about this idea, because if they really say it, He Shen will be annoyed.Everyone knows that his favorite is his first wife, Feng Shi, who hardly comes out to flirt. He Shen has been passed down as a new good man by the women in the capital, and Feng Shuangzhi is said to be a lucky man.
In fact, it is not that Nalan has never heard of the matter between He Shen and his wife. Originally, she came here for fun today, and did not take this matter too seriously, but seeing He Shen not taking her wine glass Yes, she felt that this was a bit embarrassing.
After all, she was still a little girl of the thirteenth or fourteenth year, and she still had some thoughts of conflicting emotions in her heart. She cleared her throat and sang: "Brother brings wine today, brother has a drink, it's me, pay attention to make amends, I only hope that brother won't let you down!" I want to push it, so that I can teach my younger sister to have that bit of face on her face..."
Next, Liu Yong murmured, "A shameless daughter raised by a shameless dog official". This was so ugly that everyone at the table heard it. Even the voice was not small, and it was also heard by Nalan. Then, his complexion changed, his hands trembled, almost giving Liu Yong this glass of wine to his face.
Liu Yong is an important minister, how can he put this little girl in his eyes, he is the leading minister on the side of civil servants, how can someone like Su Ling'a compare to him?
It's no wonder Liu Yong has a bad temper, it's because the little girl sang too explicitly, it's like a brother or sister, it's really no different from a * on this occasion.Those are all titles that are not on the stage. This girl has sung a lot, and no one will talk about her when she sings like this on stage. If you say these things in Juxian Tower where civil and military officials gather, you will be shameless. Don't blame him Liu Yong Don't give her face.
It was no coincidence that Feng Shuangzhi came here. She heard the excitement above, so she stopped behind the corridor.
Interesting, is this girl called Nalan?
She listened to the movement inside, although she knew that He Shen would definitely not let her down, but at this moment she really wanted to see how her omnipotent husband would deal with this pestering girl.
Alas, my husband is so outstanding, how many girls are coveting him, what a hassle.
Feng Shuangzhi sighed in his heart, then stroked his chin thoughtfully, he must find a way to solve such a problem.
Seeing Feng Shuangzhi's serious thinking about the future, Liu Quan'er raised her sleeves to wipe away the cold sweat. She always felt that her father was not far away from becoming a tragedy. Is this an illusion?
Nalan's face over there was really blue, then red, and then white, her fingers holding the wine glass kept trembling, she bit her teeth lightly, but turned to bite her own lips, and she managed to hold back the breath Going down, turned around and bowed to He Shen, and finally changed to a normal voice: "It was Nalan's ignorance before, and it was Nalan's fault if he really wanted to deceive the adults and disturb the banquet with the adults. , I also hope that there will be a lot with the adults, and forgive the little girl."
This can be said to be well-founded, but this wine, will He Shen take it or not?Accepted, it was too shameful for her, after all, it still made people feel that he purposely let Nalan go down the steps, but if he didn't answer, the girl really couldn't get down the stage.Everyone felt that no matter what, such a little girl should not be prevented from coming down, thinking that He Shen would still have to take the wine glass in the end.
It's a pity that they don't understand Heshen's situation. What is the question of whether Heshen will give her a step down?If He Shen took this glass of wine, he would have no way to go down.
Others don't know that their smart wife is watching from behind, but He Shen knows it.
He could only stand up, poured himself a glass of wine, and said: "This girl sings very well, but today she said that you are having a promotion banquet with someone, and it's just that you are showing love to someone Right here, I would like to respect this Miss Nalan who sang opera for everyone, and all the adults who praised someone, and I will rely on you to take care of me in the future."
It was a trick of stealing the beam and changing the post, and the focus was shifted to rewarding everyone during the speech, so Nalan's matter was just mentioned in passing, and he didn't really take it seriously at all.
Everyone only said that Heshen was cunning, so they watched Nalan's face turn pale for a while, after all, he still drank that glass of wine, and felt a little bit embarrassed.
On Feng Shuangzhi's side, he waved at Liu Quan'er and sighed, "I'm going to be drunk, why don't you go? If he doesn't come back, don't come in today."
Liu Quan'er was startled, and immediately came to his senses, he answered yes, trotted up, and said to He Shen: "Master—"
He Shen raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"
The audience was silent, and everyone listened with pricked ears.
Su Ling Anai is a member of the Tala family in the Zhengbai Banner of Manchuria. Yongzheng was admitted to the cabinet in the third year, and Qianlong was only in the tenth year of Qianlong. The road slowed down.In the 27th year of Qianlong, he was demoted for the crime of negligence, and he never got better.
I have been an official for more than 40 years, and I also have a lot of wives and concubines. I am always unhappy in this officialdom.
Su Ling'a has always wanted to climb up, but she has been lacking the support of people in the court, or the same sentence - it is difficult to be an official if there is no one in the court.
Just after the Jingcha this year, Su Ling'a had his eye on He Shen. Originally, he wanted to flatter He Shen when he was promoted to be the servant of the household department, but the An Ming case suddenly happened two days ago. He Shen seemed to be depressed again, and Su Ling'a suddenly doubted his own judgment.
He thought about it for a while, but before he came up with any results, he heard that his eldest daughter and Heshen's younger brother Helin saw each other right. He was thinking whether this was a blessing or a curse, but he immediately heard a message Shen was on duty at the Military Aircraft Department, this was a terrible thing, his wrinkled hands almost immediately knocked over the teacup in hand, and he was so excited that he couldn't help it.
Su Ling'a was very happy when her eldest daughter met He Lin.
This morning, he took Yuan Lan's hand, asking her to please He Lin, and not to lose He Lin's favor and affection. The youngest daughter, Nalan, sat by the side and played with the peach blossom branch she had just picked in her hand, with a naive look on her face. Cute appearance, looking at myself, Ama talking to her sister.
After Su Ling'a had finished talking with Yuan Lan, she turned around and saw her cute little daughter, suddenly she had a thought and asked her to come over and talk.
Nalan didn't expect that Ama would have something to say to himself. She was originally here with her sister, but she was a little confused at this time. After walking over, she saw Su Ling'a looking at her with a smile on her face .
Su Ling, who is always good at calculating, has finally climbed up the big tree of He Shen. At this time, she doesn't want to let go. She just wants to make the relationship between the two families deeper.
At that moment, he said a few words to Nalan and let Nalan go down.
Next, a banquet was held in Juxian Building to celebrate He Shen. A few days ago, he was suddenly downgraded to a second level and retained, but today he went directly to the military aircraft department as if he had stepped into the sky. It's not far away, even Fu Kang'an, whom the emperor has always loved, doesn't have this ability, but now he is captured by He Shen, who is of ordinary background, which really makes everyone dare not look down upon him.
At this time, everyone in the court began to really look at this different He Shen differently.
Under the surface of ups and downs, there must be a heart that is good at calculating.
Upstairs in Juxian, it can be said that there is a lot of toasting. He Shen knows that today he has to drink. It is one thing not to accept the gift. It is for the emperor to see. After all, it is a secret thing, even if the gift is sent back. , everyone can't say anything.But in this Juxian building, they all drink and talk face to face, and they can't really save anyone's face.
Feng Shuangzhi was very smart, he said early in the morning that wine was something to drink, but he couldn't drink too much.
He Shen can also use the shrewd wife at home as an excuse to push alcohol. Everyone knows his reputation of being fearful of guilt, so he will not be too strong in persuading him to drink.
Fu Changan has a good relationship with Heshen, but he knows Heshen's virtue. He walked up with the wine glass, saying that he has known Heshen for several years. He must drink the glass of wine he toasted. of.
Looking at Fu Chang'an's eyes, He Shen knew that he had to drink, but he said that he was in a difficult position while holding up the wine glass, and that he could hold as much as he could.
Everyone continued to drink, you come and go, it is a good time to exchange feelings.
Su Ling'a came late, so he sat beside him, followed by a boy who looked like a servant, who looked very young.
Immediately, someone was sitting beside him, pointing at the person standing behind him and said: "This boy is quite handsome, could it be you, my lord..."
Su Ling'a's complexion changed, and she didn't like this person's frivolity in her heart, just because the boy standing behind was her daughter disguised as a man, it didn't make sense for this person to say that.
Standing behind was Nalan, she snorted in her heart, she just wanted to pooh the dog official's face, but she couldn't show any expression on her face, she just stood with her head down, without saying a word.
After drinking, I went to watch a play in the theater garden below Juxian Building.
Everyone congratulated He Shen, and occasionally went up to say a word, and more people were listening to the play.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, a small blue sedan chair came below, and Feng Shuangzhi was sitting in it. At this time, she lifted the curtain and heard voices from the theater garden below Juxian Building.
I don't know where the Huizhou opera singer came from, with a non-local accent, with a slightly shrill accent, he walked leisurely from the inside to the outside.
Feng Shuangzhi entered the Juxian Building, and the shopkeeper inside was making plans. He looked up and saw a female guest coming in. He was a little surprised, but he smiled kindly: "Madam, the Juxian Building has been closed today. Once the bag is packed, you can welcome the guests in—”
Feng Shuangzhi just waved his hand, Liu Quan'er was sweating coldly, stepped forward to give the ingot of silver to the shopkeeper, and said: "We belong to Hefu, Madam just went up to have a look, what are you worried about?"
"..." The shopkeeper was suddenly speechless, and wanted to say, "It's because you want to go up to see me that I'm worried", but then swallowed it down again. This is notoriously tough with my wife, and it's not easy to deal with.
Seeing Feng Shuangzhi turn around and go upstairs, the shopkeeper wanted to go up to report the news, but he didn't want Feng Shuangzhi to go up the stairs, so he turned his head and happened to bump into the shopkeeper and beckoned the waiter down there embarrassingly.
She smiled slightly, thinking how could she be so scary?It's just because I'm too worried about He Shen, I'm afraid that he might be drunk, so I'll come and see it earlier... It's not that I don't have other worries, but I won't tell others.
"Don't panic, shopkeeper, as long as I'm an opera listener. It's a skill to invite this actor from Huizhou."
The shopkeeper heard her say this in a melodious voice, and saw her turn around and walk upstairs without seeming to mind at all, so he raised his sleeves and frantically wiped the cold sweat.
Seeing that Liu Quan'er was about to follow up, she didn't know why she thought of something, so she stepped back and leaned into the shopkeeper's ear and asked, "My lord, are you listening to a play up there now?"
The shopkeeper looked at He Shen, and always felt that this person was just like himself, and seemed to be a little jealous of Mrs. He. At this time, he remembered Liu Quan'er's identity, and as if he saw a savior, he pulled Liu Quan'er's hand and cried: "How do I know if I'm really listening to an opera? It's not like you don't know that adults sometimes play very well, and there are many actors who are willing to commit themselves. I just gave them a garden to sing. I don’t know what little things the man is playing with.”
Liu Quan'er was in a cold sweat when he heard that some grown-ups like to flirt with actors, and my father should not like it, but I don't know what my wife will see if she goes up...
Liu Quan'er suddenly felt cold under her feet, she didn't even care about what to say to the shopkeeper, she turned around and followed, walked two steps quickly to Feng Shuangzhi's side, and was about to stop Feng Shuangzhi directly when she saw something was wrong.
It's just a good thing, after they went up, the place to listen to the opera was on the back-shaped corridor, and they just walked to the lobby now.
Su Ling'a happened to be sitting on the side, and he was talking about the actor's appearance to the people next to him.
"Look at this actor, the eyebrows are so well drawn, tsk...it's really attractive..." The Nalan man who said that she was disguised as a man pointed to a female role on the stage, with a bit of lust in her eyes.
This is the state of the officialdom, and now the people sitting here are basically imperial court officials, listening to operas and prostitutes, unspeakably romantic, I don’t know what kind of Qinlou Chu Pavilion this is, not the Juxian Tower play garden.
Feng Shuangzhi's complexion changed when she heard the obscene words, but for some reason, Feng Shuangzhi stood in the lobby and did not go around to the theater.
Su Ling'a, who was the closest to Feng Shuangzhi's station, took the man's words, "My boy also knows some rap opera—"
"Oh, Mr. Su, your servant is really good." The man exaggeratedly shouted, and greeted everyone, "Master Su Ling'a said that his servant can also sing operas, but you can't say such a big talk Yes, you boy looks like a delicate skin and tender meat, but singing an opera is not an easy job, don't talk nonsense!"
That servant is naturally Nalan who is the female companion in men's clothing. When she heard this, the arrogance in her heart was aroused, and instead of following Su Ling'a's previous script, she stood up and said, "This servant can really sing!" One thing, Mr. Zhang, don't look down on people."
Everyone's attention has been attracted, it's good that the next show has come to an end, the actors with heavy makeup are off, and everyone has nothing to watch, so they all came to see the boy behind Su Ling'a.
Speaking of which, the boy looks really good, with slender eyebrows, a pair of leering almond eyes, a small nose and mouth, an oval face, and a sharp chin. He turned out to be a standard "male and female appearance". She didn't even lose a bit to Hua Dan who just got off the stage.
Suddenly, some people thought about it and asked this young man to have a while.
He Shen watched from behind without saying a word. After he was half-drunk, he was given a few drinks, especially Fu Changan, who knew He Shen's drinking capacity and was the main force of drinking. I can persuade you to have a few drinks.
Seeing that He Shen seemed a little drunk now, he filled himself a glass and said with a smile: "In the past, Mr. He was afraid of guilt, but today it is a good thing to be drunk."
He Shenxin said where the good thing came from, but it was almost the same if it was bad.
Although Feng Shuangzhi didn't come in, she just listened with her ears, but Liu Quan'er, who was behind her, had already quietly leaned half of her body out, because Feng Shuangzhi was facing the corridor. After all, she had her back to Liu Quan'er, and she didn't know that Liu Quan'er behind her had leaned out and gestured for He Shen.
He Shen calmly took the situation over there into his eyes, complained in his heart, and only hoped that nothing would go wrong for a while, and if his narrow-minded wife saw it, he didn't know when he would be able to coax her back.
"Where did such a good thing come from... just hope not..."
"Sing!"
A lot of people over there suddenly shouted, and He Shen's words were interrupted. He looked over there, and he didn't know what the people over there were making a fuss about, so he asked Fu Chang'an, "Why didn't I see you?" Third brother?"
His third brother is Fukang'an. Fukang'an came today, but he didn't know why he disappeared.
It was said that the banquet was held for He Shen, but it was actually a big gathering of the entire court officials. Most of the court officials came, except for the opposition on Qian Feng's side, even civil officials like Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan came. Everyone drank together.
Ji Xiaolan is a good drinker, she can recite a poem after just a glass of wine. Before she was drunk, she won praises from everyone, but now she started talking nonsense when she was drunk. Liu Yong laughed at him as a bad drinker, and everyone laughed too. laugh.
Wang Jie also came, so he sat down with Ji Yun, looked at He Shen from a distance, and felt strange that he didn't see Fu Kang'an beside Fu Chang'an.
He just paid more attention to Fukang'an because of Chen Xijia's relationship. Now when he turned his head to look at the corner of the exit, he unexpectedly saw Liu Quan'er, and saw Liu Quan'er dancing and gesturing with He Shen. I understood what at once.
Can't Liu Quan'er come over directly if he has something to do?He was gesturing from afar, and it can only be said that there was something blocking him, preventing him from coming out so easily and directly talking to He Shen, and seeing his sneaky appearance, he knew that he was hiding in the dark. Who is the person—Feng Shuangzhi.
Although the number of times I met Feng Shuangzhi can be counted on one hand, this woman Feng Shuangzhi has left a deep impression in Wang Jie's mind, just because every occasion she appears is too special .
Now that he knew that Feng Shuangzhi was coming, Wang Jie suddenly wanted to watch a good show.
The people over there are booing, wanting the young man Su Ling'a brought to perform.
Unexpectedly, the boy had a bit of backbone, and said: "I have no costumes, no costumes, and no stage. Even if I sing, I don't have any taste. I want the boss below to lend me a suit of clothes to sing on stage." .”
He Shen knew that this little servant's identity was probably not simple after hearing that he had changed from "slave" to "I".
Looking at Su Ling, he didn't show anything unusual. He stroked his beard, then got up, and bowed his hands to everyone, "My lords—"
Everyone thought he was going to resign, so Sun Shiyi, who recently returned to Beijing to report on his duties, shouted: "Isn't it just a song? Why are you so coy? Let him go up."
Others also said: "Let him go up."
In fact, Su Ling'a didn't want to decline, but just wanted to ask. Seeing that everyone supported, she asked Nalan to go down and change clothes to go on stage.
Outside, Feng Shuangzhi was surprised, so he turned around and asked Liu Quan'er, "Is it Su Ling who I just heard?"
Is it the Yuanlan's Ama whom Helin fancy?Didn't expect to be here at this time.
There was also a young boy with a good-looking appearance beside him, this Su Ling'a was just like what was written in the history books...
Liu Quan'er saw that He Shen knew that Feng Shuangzhi was coming, so she had already withdrawn her posture. At this time, she was standing obediently behind Feng Shuangzhi, and she didn't notice anything unusual.Hearing Feng Shuangzhi's question at this moment, he replied: "It is indeed Su Ling, who has always been an official in the south, but just came down from Jiujiang Road a few days ago, and was punished by demotion."
No wonder now pay attention to drilling...
Feng Shuangzhi was tired from standing, and seeing that there seemed to be no one in the private room on one side, she asked the waiter below to bring her a cup of tea. I saw a person standing by the window, wearing a dark blue robe, and the light in the room was relatively dim, as if his back was facing this side.
Hearing the sound, Fu Kang'an turned his head and saw Feng Shuangzhi. It's not that he didn't hear the voice of the people outside before, but it was relatively small after all. He thought it was his own illusion, and he never thought that he would see her now.
Feng Shuangzhi was taken aback. She remembered what had happened to her in the Jiangning Palace that day, and closed the door again, only to realize that her back was covered in cold sweat.
Liu Quan'er didn't understand, felt strange, and called her all her life: "Ma'am?"
Feng Shuangzhi suppressed the shock in his heart, and barely said calmly: "Change another room, accidentally pushed the wrong door, and disturbed others."
Pushing the wrong door and disturbing others - this is not only said to Liu Quan'er, but also to Fu Kang'an.
She wanted to put herself aside, she was not in a normal mood, but suddenly became gloomy.
Feng Shuangzhi turned around and looked for another private room. Most of the people in Juxian Building went to wait on the corridor, and few stayed here, and no one knew that the room Feng Shuangzhi pushed away just now had There are people.
Liu Quan'er felt strange, she just felt that something was wrong, who could make his wife react so strongly?
Although she hadn't served Feng Shuangzhi for long, Liu Quan'er also knew that his wife was not a hypocritical person in such a small way... He glanced at the door when he left, and always felt that things were weird.
Here Feng Shuangzhi left, and the room was still in endless silence.
Fukang'an's thumb with a green thumb was pressed on the small white jade wine glass. After withdrawing his gaze, he stood by the window, drank the glass in one gulp, and then turned around and asked, "Ba Dayan? Shang, can't you squeeze out a Wang Rulong?"
In the darkness of the light, there was actually a person sitting, but this position was not directly facing the door, it happened to be behind the bead curtain, and there was half a screen blocking it, so Feng Shuangzhi just couldn't see it except Fukang There are others besides Ann.
The man's shadow fell on the carpet, stretched long, there was the sound of wine falling into the glass, and then the glass was picked up and swallowed softly.It is indescribably miserable to have to drink with this master with injuries on your body, "How can the matter of salt merchants and water transportation be so simple? If it can be done in a short while, will I still sit here and drink with you?"
Fukang'an came over and lifted the wine jug from the table. He didn't know what touched his heart, so he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and said coldly: "I caught you back, why are you drinking with me? Leader Lian, have you considered my conditions?"
The person sitting here is really Lian Shuangcheng.
Today's Lian Shuangcheng is wearing a black silk robe, tapping his left hand on his lap while holding a wine glass in his right hand, with a calm expression on his face, looking like a rich and idle person.He said in a manly voice: "So-and-so Lian managed to run halfway, but your soldiers really deserved to have come out of the battlefield. They killed a whole boat of people from my Cao Gang and captured someone from my company. If you don't agree , I don't know... what happened to someone? "
Lian Shuangcheng himself did not expect it, and He Shen sent him to the pier a few days ago. Lian Shuangcheng is the master of water transportation in nine provinces, and it is always safer to be on the water.What's more, almost all of the water transport in nine provinces is in his hands, so he never thought that he would encounter a Jiang bandit on the way.It was said that it was Jiang Pirates, but in fact it was Fukang'an's people pretending to be him, so they hijacked his boat, buried a boatload of people in water, and even captured him again.
The horror of Fukang'an can be seen from this arresting behavior.
Before his subordinates attacked him, they didn't really want to kill him.
After all, he still has a lot of use value even in Shuangcheng, so a smart person should keep him.
It's just that even Shuangcheng himself has to be smart, he has to make himself useful all the time, so as to ensure that he won't incur a murderous disaster.
Fukang'an didn't think about so many things, his originally calm and chilling mind suddenly became a little chaotic.
The hand holding the wine glass trembled a little, and he couldn't explain where the trembling came from, so he could only shake his head, and said: "Wang Rulong must get the account book in his hand, he won't do it today. If you are willing to hand it over, you will always hand it over in the future.”
"Wang Rulong is as timid as a mouse, how could he be willing to hand over this ledger?" Lian Shuangcheng knew the situation in Yangzhou well. Among them, the Big Four are just the Big Four among the Eight Great Ones.
Wang Rulong is used to adapting to the wind, and has a changeable personality. He is inaccurate in what he sees for a while, and he is an insidious person.
"He holds the account books of the Salt Administration for the past two years, even the account books of the River Works." Fu Kang'an sneered, feeling that Lian Shuang City didn't take things too seriously. Shuangcheng was wounded, and there were actually people guarding the Juxian Building. In the capital, it was on his Fukang'an territory, and even Shuangcheng couldn't escape.
"The account book has too much to do with it. If it really comes out, the entire Jiangnan officialdom will be shaken up. Wang Rulong doesn't have the guts." Lian Shuangcheng still insisted on his opinion. He shook his head and said, "This matter is up to you, Mr. Fu." It doesn't matter, why are you so nervous?"
This was the first time Lian Shuangcheng asked such a question.
He really felt that Fukang'an was not deeply involved in the affairs of the Jiangnan officialdom. In his impression, Fukang'an's relationship with Jiangnan only started recently, but Fukang'an's nervous appearance now is really not good. Like something got involved.
Only Fukang'an himself knew what was going on. He glanced at Lian Shuangcheng, and hearing the slender tone suddenly raised from outside, he suddenly said: "Fang caught you back, I almost forgot that I was listening to an opera. And Let me tell you something, Wang Jie, the new champion of the current department, used to think of suing the emperor about the Jiangnan River Works. The account book for river management is also in the hands of Wang Rulong. This Wang Jie said to everyone in Jiangnan back then. Strong Master', he is a tough one, if Wang Rulong finds him in desperation, you will not be able to eat and walk around."
As soon as these words came out, Lian Shuangcheng frowned immediately, "The power of the eight major salt merchants is intertwined. Recently, Li Yuanfa is from Li Shiyao and Sun Shiyi's side, and the salt quotations from the Lianghuai side are all in their hands. Salt merchants are also difficult to deal with. If they want to stabilize Wang Rulong, it is still too dangerous to just transport smuggled salt. He has to hold a salt guide in his hand to dare to transport things up and down. Without a salt guide, how can he win over Wang Rulong?"
Wang Rulong is also a shrewd person...
How many people have been trapped by this handful of salt?
Fukang'an just made the stakes clear to Lian Shuangcheng, but he himself would not interfere.
Lian Shuangcheng had just been captured, and the people below were afraid that there would be trouble, so they brought him in to question him. Now that they have finished what they should say, if Fukang'an is here all the time, it will definitely arouse suspicion. He reasoned With his own arrow sleeve, he turned around and pushed the door out, but for some reason, when his palm fell on the door, he couldn't resist turning his head, but found an amazing detail.
The lamp was placed on this side of the screen, and Lian Shuangcheng was sitting behind the screen. Originally, this figure was tightly covered, but because of that lamp, there was a long and thin shadow on the ground, which happened to fall by the window.
——Feng Shuangzhi just now, did you notice this?
She noticed.
It's just that I haven't guessed who the person talking to Fu Kang'an in the same room is.
After all, it is normal for someone to sit there on such an occasion. The shadow is a little blurry, and it is even hard to tell whether it is a man or a woman. Maybe she is a female star, and there are many such things in rich and noble families.
After thinking about it for a while, she still felt that this was a bit weird, but she knew she couldn't figure it out, so she didn't waste time on it.
After sitting for a while, she heard the sound of opera singing outside. She heard the sound pleasant, but she was surprised. After taking a sip of tea, she frowned: "This sound is clearly from a girl's house, why is it down there?" Singing?"
Su Ling'a going out anytime to take a girl home?
How can this be?
Nalan loved to listen to operas since she was a child, and she learned a lot from the aunts in the mansion. Now, with heavy makeup and costumes on, she stood on the stage, more than Huadan, with a wave of her sleeves, with a kind of It was romantic and charming, and there was a sense of fascination in the movement of the eyes. The people listening to the opera above were so alive, as if they were seduced by the girl below.
Su Ling'a's reaction to the crowd can be said to be satisfactory, even He Shen seldom heard such a clear voice, although the posing movements are a bit unfamiliar, but the play is sung beautifully.
At the end of the song, there was thunderous applause, which was indescribably lively.
The group of Huizhou opera singers originally invited by Juxian Tower now became Nalan's foil. Seeing Nalan performing hard on the stage, he was sweating profusely after a while. After taking it off, she recovered her daughter's body, and walked in front of everyone.
This time, countless people were dumbfounded.
Just now he said that the young servant had red lips and white teeth, and he didn't want to come out now, she was really a beautiful girl.
Nalan walked to the middle, bowed to everyone in the corridor, walked past He Shen, and returned to Su Ling'a, all eyes were on her.
It was a stunning appearance, almost awe-inspiring.
It's unimaginable that Su Ling's family still has such a good girl.
This old thing can hide and has the ability!
However, the next moment, Nalan bowed in front of Su Ling'a's table: "Ama, it's my daughter who came out to make a fool of herself."
Su Ling'a "haha" laughed twice, but said: "You played with all the grown-ups here, and you still don't make amends? This is a promotion banquet with the grown-ups, and you don't go to the table to make amends ?”
When Fu Kang'an came over, he happened to see this scene, and he roughly guessed what was going on, so he didn't go back to Fu Chang'an and He Shen's table for the time being, but sat directly at Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan's.
Ji Xiaolan was a little drunk, and put the braid on his head, looking like a big fool, he pointed at Fu Kang'an in a daze: "Master Fu, if you kill someone, you will pay for it—— Ouch, who hit me?"
Liu Yong was really going to be stunned by Ji Xiaolan, who was drunk and uttered nothing, so he hit Ji Xiaolan on the head with chopsticks. No matter how senior Liu Yong was, he was much higher than Ji Xiaolan, even if he beat someone like this, he would not what's wrong.
Seeing that Fu Kang'an's face had turned cold, Liu Yong quickly smoothed things over and said: "Master Fu, don't listen to this man's nonsense. When he is drunk, his mouth is full of nonsense. I don't know where he heard the nonsense."
lies?I'm afraid he's telling the truth when he's drunk!
With a sullen face, Fukan'an poured himself a glass of wine, drank it without saying a word.
Wang Jie, who was also sitting at this table, listened to the words, but acted as if he didn't hear them.
Now the husband of my old sweetheart is sitting at the same table with me, this feeling should be very complicated, but I don’t know why, when this happened, Wang Jie became calm instead, as if nothing happened generally.
They talk about themselves here, and they can already watch and play on the other side.
Nalan's first glass of wine was to respect Heshen according to Su Ling'a's instructions, and everyone realized that Su Ling'er had a good plan and wanted his daughter to please Heshen.
It's just that some people think that Nalan is coquettish, and naturally some people think that she is too frivolous. Even if a Manchu girl doesn't have so many rules, she shouldn't have to sing on the stage. How can an actor be compared with a decent girl?
When she was singing, she was already inferior.
Holding the wine glass, Nalan came to He Shen and the others' table, wanted to hand his wine glass to He Shen, bowed his head in salute, showing a bit of shyness. "I also hope that my lord will forgive Nalan for not telling the truth."
Fu Chang'an saw that the old god He Shen was sitting there without moving, so he stretched out his hand and poked He Shen's arm, which meant that He Shen would take the glass of wine.
There are a lot of such things in the officialdom, Fu Changan has long been familiar with them, and He Shen has seen many of them in his early years. When this kind of thing happened to him, he felt that it was a little indescribable.
He shook his head at Fu Chang'an, thinking that his family member might still be in this building, if the wine is picked up, he can only sleep on the carpet when he goes back tonight, don't think about going to bed.
Everyone knew that this was courting and courting, but Su Ling'a's actions were too revealing, and a different person might not be able to toast in person.What to do is to keep it behind your back. If He Shen really has thoughts about Nalan, as long as Su Ling'a expresses something, He Shen will not refuse.This kind of thing is sometimes suitable to be done in private.
It's just that doing it on the bright side also has an advantage, that is, it saves face.
In any case, this Nalan is quite handsome, and He Shen is also extremely handsome and talented. Together, these two people are like a match made in heaven.
But they can only think about this idea, because if they really say it, He Shen will be annoyed.Everyone knows that his favorite is his first wife, Feng Shi, who hardly comes out to flirt. He Shen has been passed down as a new good man by the women in the capital, and Feng Shuangzhi is said to be a lucky man.
In fact, it is not that Nalan has never heard of the matter between He Shen and his wife. Originally, she came here for fun today, and did not take this matter too seriously, but seeing He Shen not taking her wine glass Yes, she felt that this was a bit embarrassing.
After all, she was still a little girl of the thirteenth or fourteenth year, and she still had some thoughts of conflicting emotions in her heart. She cleared her throat and sang: "Brother brings wine today, brother has a drink, it's me, pay attention to make amends, I only hope that brother won't let you down!" I want to push it, so that I can teach my younger sister to have that bit of face on her face..."
Next, Liu Yong murmured, "A shameless daughter raised by a shameless dog official". This was so ugly that everyone at the table heard it. Even the voice was not small, and it was also heard by Nalan. Then, his complexion changed, his hands trembled, almost giving Liu Yong this glass of wine to his face.
Liu Yong is an important minister, how can he put this little girl in his eyes, he is the leading minister on the side of civil servants, how can someone like Su Ling'a compare to him?
It's no wonder Liu Yong has a bad temper, it's because the little girl sang too explicitly, it's like a brother or sister, it's really no different from a * on this occasion.Those are all titles that are not on the stage. This girl has sung a lot, and no one will talk about her when she sings like this on stage. If you say these things in Juxian Tower where civil and military officials gather, you will be shameless. Don't blame him Liu Yong Don't give her face.
It was no coincidence that Feng Shuangzhi came here. She heard the excitement above, so she stopped behind the corridor.
Interesting, is this girl called Nalan?
She listened to the movement inside, although she knew that He Shen would definitely not let her down, but at this moment she really wanted to see how her omnipotent husband would deal with this pestering girl.
Alas, my husband is so outstanding, how many girls are coveting him, what a hassle.
Feng Shuangzhi sighed in his heart, then stroked his chin thoughtfully, he must find a way to solve such a problem.
Seeing Feng Shuangzhi's serious thinking about the future, Liu Quan'er raised her sleeves to wipe away the cold sweat. She always felt that her father was not far away from becoming a tragedy. Is this an illusion?
Nalan's face over there was really blue, then red, and then white, her fingers holding the wine glass kept trembling, she bit her teeth lightly, but turned to bite her own lips, and she managed to hold back the breath Going down, turned around and bowed to He Shen, and finally changed to a normal voice: "It was Nalan's ignorance before, and it was Nalan's fault if he really wanted to deceive the adults and disturb the banquet with the adults. , I also hope that there will be a lot with the adults, and forgive the little girl."
This can be said to be well-founded, but this wine, will He Shen take it or not?Accepted, it was too shameful for her, after all, it still made people feel that he purposely let Nalan go down the steps, but if he didn't answer, the girl really couldn't get down the stage.Everyone felt that no matter what, such a little girl should not be prevented from coming down, thinking that He Shen would still have to take the wine glass in the end.
It's a pity that they don't understand Heshen's situation. What is the question of whether Heshen will give her a step down?If He Shen took this glass of wine, he would have no way to go down.
Others don't know that their smart wife is watching from behind, but He Shen knows it.
He could only stand up, poured himself a glass of wine, and said: "This girl sings very well, but today she said that you are having a promotion banquet with someone, and it's just that you are showing love to someone Right here, I would like to respect this Miss Nalan who sang opera for everyone, and all the adults who praised someone, and I will rely on you to take care of me in the future."
It was a trick of stealing the beam and changing the post, and the focus was shifted to rewarding everyone during the speech, so Nalan's matter was just mentioned in passing, and he didn't really take it seriously at all.
Everyone only said that Heshen was cunning, so they watched Nalan's face turn pale for a while, after all, he still drank that glass of wine, and felt a little bit embarrassed.
On Feng Shuangzhi's side, he waved at Liu Quan'er and sighed, "I'm going to be drunk, why don't you go? If he doesn't come back, don't come in today."
Liu Quan'er was startled, and immediately came to his senses, he answered yes, trotted up, and said to He Shen: "Master—"
He Shen raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"
The audience was silent, and everyone listened with pricked ears.
