After the snow stopped, it was sunny for several consecutive days, and the ground was wet from the melted snow. Shen Jia was walking in the garden in the backyard of the prefect's yamen with two ledgers in her arms.

The place where he lives is the second courtyard in the backyard of the yamen, and the female family members of the Yao family live in the third courtyard, so they are usually not seen.

A gust of wind blew, and a snow-white handkerchief appeared in Shen Jia's sight. Red plums were embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief, and there was a line of small characters. Seeing that the handkerchief was about to fall on him, Shen Jia took a step back and stared at the snow-white handkerchief. The child fell on the muddy floor and was instantly stained with mud.

Shen Jia's expression remained unchanged, she took a big step over the veil, and walked forward without looking sideways. He has encountered such a scene several times these days, either the earring fell off or accidentally fell in front of him. No, I don't know that Miss Yao's exaggerated acting skills have always been learned, even he can't stand it.

"Master Shen..." With a voice of coquettish anger, Shen Jia kept walking forward until the owner of the voice blocked his way forward.

He frowned, restrained his irritability and asked, "What is Miss Yao doing?"

Miss Yao intertwined her hands, her expression resentful, "Why does Master Shen avoid me like a snake? Is this Miss so disgusting to you?"

Shen Jia laughed angrily. It was the first time he discovered that the ancient defense of men and women is also beneficial. He took a step back and said: "Miss, what you said is ridiculous. You are a lady of every family. I am not related to the Yao family. It is even more impossible to have anything to do with you, normal men should avoid unmarried women, may I ask what did Shen do wrong?"

Miss Yao bit her lip and looked at him with tears in her eyes. It's a pity that Shen Jia didn't show any pity at all, and it was impossible to give her a good face. After all, when they first met, he said that he was Have a fiancee.

A normal woman should retreat when she finds out that the other party is a married man. This Miss Yao is very courageous, but it's a pity that women chasing men and stalking men are not fashionable here.

Shen Jia didn't intend to say anything to her, and walked around her, but Miss Yao naturally refused, every time Shen Jia ran away without saying a word, it was not easy for her to come out.

He Yan hurriedly stopped her, looked her up and down, and mocked bluntly: "Miss Yao, please respect yourself!"

After seeing that he had passed the Moon Cave Gate, He Yan turned around and chased after him. Miss Yao stomped her feet and said in tears, "Why is Master Shen so cruel?"

The second young lady hid aside and watched a good show. To be honest, who wouldn't like someone as glamorous as Mr. Shen?But he already has a fiancée, and she is the magistrate who granted the marriage by imperial decree. The second lady is self-aware, so she doesn't even dare to think about it.

She walked out calmly, and encouraged her: "Sister, Mr. Shen is an upright gentleman, so he must not dare to meet his female relatives privately. Sister can start from other places first. Sister is gentle and generous. After getting along for a long time, Mr. Shen will definitely like you." .”

Miss Yao glared at her, "I want you to mind your own business!" After speaking, she took the maid and ran away.

Shen Jia went to the yamen, and He Yanzhui kept nagging behind him, "This young lady of the Yao family is too shameless, to stop the young master on purpose again and again, what is she trying to do?"

Shen Jia has been admired by many people since he was a child, so he was very calm, and told him: "Go and remind the prefect of Yao veiledly, and say that this young master has no intention of deceiving the king, and the love of the eldest lady, Shen, can't bear it." .”

If this was said, it would be a slap in the face, but He Yan didn't care about it. When he went to Yao Zhifu to tell the matter, he made Yao Zhifu's face green and glared at He Yan.

"Master Yao, please don't take offense. I don't know how to speak. I'm just telling you what I saw. After all, this matter has caused my young master a lot of trouble. I hope Master Yao will know."

Yao Zhifu gritted his teeth and replied: "I understand, please rest assured, Mr. Shen."

Shen Jia originally thought this matter would be over like this, but Yao Qiran would definitely restrain his daughter after knowing this matter, but the next day, he actually saw a food box in his guest room, which contained several snacks and a gu Soup.

"Who sent it?" He asked the servants in the yard.

The servant replied falteringly: "Yes...it's the big maid next to the young lady."

Shen Jia winked at He Yan, and the latter looked back at him innocently, expressing that he had informed Yao Zhifu.

Shen Jia rubbed the center of her eyebrows helplessly, and asked He Yan to take out the food box and throw it in a conspicuous place, so that everyone would know that he did not accept these things.

If there is a next time, then he will have to discuss this matter with Yao Zhifu in person. He is here on a business trip, not to mess with men and women, let alone he is a family man.

In the evening, Ling Jingyun arrived, and his arrival shocked the entire Daming Mansion, thinking that there was some serious crime, or who was here to arrest?

Prefect Yao was quite calm, after all his nephew was the commander of the imperial army, and his status was no lower than Ling Jingyun, but facing this young junior, he was still uneasy.

"I don't know what business is Deputy Commander Ling doing in Daming Mansion?"

Ling Jingyun was impatient to talk to him, he didn't even answer Yao Zhan, let alone his family members, said straight to the point: "This envoy was ordered by the emperor to deliver something to the two adults."

When the bags of things were delivered to Shen Jia's guest room, even Qin Zhangyuan couldn't help but came over to look, "What's going on?"

Shen Jia hadn't opened it yet, but she could already smell the strong smell of medicinal materials. Ling Jingyun didn't have the intention to hide it, and said directly: "The emperor heard that Mr. Shen was ill, so he specially ordered me to deliver some medicinal materials to the two adults, so as not to The two adults are ill and there is no suitable medicine."

Shen Jia's cold has long since recovered. Hearing what he said, I was very moved, but afraid of being misunderstood, he explained: "It's really a blessing for the subjects that the emperor is so sympathetic to the subjects. I don’t know if there are any medicinal materials for the symptoms.”

Ling Jingyun took out a stack of prescriptions and handed them to him, and said in a delicate tone: "Master Shen, you might as well look for it yourself, these are the prescriptions prescribed by the envoy Hongyuan."

Shen Jia felt that these papers weighed a thousand catties, so he ignored Qin Zhangyuan's pensive eyes, flipped through them, and then took out one and handed it to Qin Tong, "This one should be there, you can see what the medicinal materials are, Take it back and make medicine for Mr. Qin."

Qin Tong didn't have any doubts about the prescription prescribed by Hongyuan envoy, and he didn't think too much about it, thinking that these medicinal materials were given to the two adults.

Ling Jingyun took out two letters and handed them to Qin Zhangyuan and Shen Jia respectively. Although the envelopes were the same size, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Shen Jia's letter was thicker.

But everyone didn't think much about it, after all, Shen Jia was the real mastermind of this inspection, he was doing everything, and it was normal for the emperor to directly explain things to him.

Shen Jia didn't dare to open the letter in front of everyone, but Qin Zhangyuan had already opened it and read it, and after reading it, he only said to Ling Jingyun: "Got it." Then he left with his hands behind his back.

Shen Jia almost fled into the room and dared to open the letter once the door was closed. Zhao Zhang's letter this time was rich in content and gentle in tone.

Seeing that Zhao Zhang said in the letter that he was injured, Shen Jia ran out to stop Ling Jingyun, dragged him aside and asked in a low voice, "Is the emperor seriously injured?" He didn't believe Zhao Zhang's words at all. That's really the case, Zhao Zhang wouldn't mention it to him at all.

Ling Jingyun didn't know what the emperor wrote in the letter. Since Shen Jia knew it, he didn't hide it. He told him what happened that day and the emperor's injury in a few words. Tuan, frowning slightly, looking anxious.

A beautiful person is good-looking even with wrinkled facial features. Ling Jingyun suddenly understood the emperor's feelings. It is normal for a man like Shen Jia who has both talents and looks to meet each other every day.

To be honest, he didn't like Shen Jia at first, a frail scholar, he just looks a little better, at most it's a romantic debt from the emperor outside the palace, what kind of disturbance can it cause?

As a result, this person not only dared to dump the emperor, but also gained the emperor's understanding after many years, and reunited after breaking the mirror. This is not just a face that can do it.

Ling Jingyun never concealed his ambition, he was a utilitarian person, since Shen Jia was so important to the emperor, of course he had to curry favor with him.

"Master Shen, don't worry, there is Hongyuan envoy in the palace, the emperor's injury is not serious, but needs more rest."

Shen Jia curled her lips and said in a low voice: "The king of a country, how can he have time to recuperate? I'm afraid he has to deal with state affairs while lying in bed."

This is true, Ling Jingyun couldn't refute it, and suddenly felt that Shen Jia was a sensible person, he didn't seem to be afraid of the majesty of the emperor at all, and he didn't care about the emperor's wealth, but instead had an expression of disgust, what a wonderful person.

"Master Shen, if you are worried, you can write a letter and go back to ask. Presumably, the emperor should have recovered."

The letter must be written. He hasn't reported the affairs of the Daming Mansion to Zhao Zhang yet, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and his longing can hardly be suppressed. Although he can't go back, it is good to be able to communicate.

"When will Deputy Commander Ling return? I still have some things that I want Master Ling to bring back."

Ling Jingyun raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "The emperor ordered me to protect your lord closely, and I won't go back for the time being."

Shen Jia looked at him in surprise, Ling Jingyun is the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, not to mention he is busy with work, the position is high and powerful, how could Zhao Zhang send him to protect him?Even Qin Zhangyuan shouldn't have such face, right?

He smiled coyly, "It's not necessary. Why don't Master Ling take the letter back for the lower official, and the lower official will explain it to the emperor. The senior is busy with affairs, and if the lower official delays the official business, the lower official can't bear it."

Ling Jingyun folded his hands on his chest, looked at him indifferently, twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and said mockingly: "Master Shen, this envoy has always only listened to the emperor, if you have the ability, let the emperor personally recruit this envoy back." Mood left.

Shen Jia couldn't even understand what Ling Jingyun's attitude towards him was. He said he despised him, but he didn't seem to, and said he accepted him, and he clearly saw his impatience. He was really a contradictory person.

Because of Ling Jingyun's arrival, everyone in the Daming Mansion became nervous. Chinese New Year was originally a golden time for receiving gifts, but because of Jin Yiwei's presence, this year's government officials did not dare to accept even an egg.

Prefect Yao privately inquired about the news from Qin Zhangyuan, and the deputy commander of Jinyiwei came in person, and he seemed to come and never leave. He didn't believe that Ling Jingyun was not here to handle official business, and most of the official affairs that Jinyiwei could do were related to officials.

It's not that Yao Zhifu is narcissistic. The whole Daming Mansion needs to dispatch the Deputy Commander of Jinyiwei to handle the case himself. For a while, Yao Zhifu will suspect that what he has done has been exposed, and even suspect that Qin Zhangyuan and Shen Jiabei are also the same. Because of him, as for other places, it is just a deception.

He was in panic all day long, but at this time his daughter was still committing nympho. After the food box was thrown away by Shen Jia yesterday, she still persevered in delivering things to Shen Jia the next day. This time, the gift was a pair embroidered by herself. Purse.

Ling Jingyun was also there at the time, and even his eyes changed when he saw this scene, the way he looked at Shen Jia was like looking at a dead person, he thought to himself: Is this Shen Jia really transformed by a male vixen?Dare to be half-hearted, isn't he afraid that the emperor will copy his nine clans?

Shen Jia was furious, looked at the maid who came to deliver the things and asked in a low voice: "Is your young lady born stupid, can't understand human speech?"

The servant girl knelt on the ground aggrieved, and whispered: "Master Shen, my young lady is really sincere, even if you don't accept it, don't abuse her like this."

Shen Jia laughed back angrily, and snorted coldly: "I am not self-respecting, but how do others respect her? I warned her three times and four times. Since she won't listen, I have no choice but to talk to Zhifu Yao." After he finished speaking, he asked He Yan to take the purse to find Yao Zhifu. Ling Jingyun was concerned about this matter, so of course he followed.

The magistrate Yao panicked after hearing He Yan's words that day, and he told Mrs. Yao that day when he went back that day. He couldn't directly talk to his daughter about this kind of thing, so he only asked Mrs. Yao to take good care of her daughter and stop going out to embarrass her. .

But Mrs. Yao has only one daughter under her knees. She is like a baby since she was a child. Although she also feels that her daughter has done something wrong, she doesn't take it seriously. It's just that her daughter has taken a fancy to a young official. It is said that she is a doctor of the household department. , the future is promising at a young age, if it can lead to good things, there is nothing wrong with it.

So when she learned that Miss Yao gave Shen Jia something, she just warned her not to be too outrageous, and she couldn't send something with a personal mark on it. As for the other things, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Later, when she learned that the other party didn't accept the things her daughter gave, she felt sulky and complained to her personal nurse, "I'm just a country boy, and once the carp jumps over the dragon's gate, I don't know how important I am."

Mrs. Yao didn't know about Shen Jia's fiancée, and Miss Yao didn't dare to tell her about it. The nature of pursuing an unmarried man is completely different from pursuing a married man.

So when Zhifu Yao came to look for her angrily, she was still a little angry, "Then Shen Jia is too much, even if the things are not collected, they can just return them privately. If there is a big trouble, how can Zhenzhen go out to meet people in the future, how can I say kissing?"

Yao Zhifu was about to be defeated by her stupidity, pointing at her and scolding: "Your daughter is stupid, are you stupid too? People clearly look down on our daughter, and you still let her seek humiliation, Where do you want me to put my face?"

"That's why I said that Shen Jia doesn't know how to flatter. He's a country bumpkin. Why should he look down on our daughter?"

Yao Zhifu gritted his teeth and said, "Did you know Master Shen is going to get married next year? His fiancée is the magistrate who was bestowed by the emperor's imperial decree. What kind of person is your daughter? Will she deceive the emperor because of her decree?"

"What? Then...then he shouldn't be. If he hadn't hung Zhenzhen, how could Zhenzhen have fallen into it?"

"I reminded you last time. How did I explain to you? Let you take good care of your daughter. A lady from a great family actually takes the initiative to throw herself into a man's arms. She is shameless and I want shame, let alone your daughter. Noble, you go and meet Shen Jia and see what is worth caring about your daughter, she can't even match a single finger." Even if Yao Zhifu doesn't like Shen Jia, he has to admit that whether it is Whether it's appearance or temperament, Shen Jia is more than one level above his daughter.

What's more, his fiancée was the number one beauty in Chang'an in the past, and Yao Zhenzhen's long-term beauty is not even considered beautiful, at most she is pretty, how can she compare with others?

Mrs. Yao felt a little guilty now, but what she cared about was still her daughter's reputation, "Master, Mr. Shen won't publicize this matter, will he? Although our daughter is wrong, even for your sake, he will Can't be so presumptuous? It's fine if he trampled on our daughter's sincerity, if he dares to go out and spread rumors, I will fight him desperately!"

It was the first time that Yao Zhifu found out that he couldn't make sense with his wife, so he closed his eyes helplessly, and confessed: "Let's not talk about the previous things, I have already explained, as long as the imperial envoy does not leave for a day, she is not allowed to leave her boudoir , don't be soft-hearted, do you have to ruin her reputation to be reconciled?"

Mrs. Yao listened to it, but it was a pity that she didn't know her daughter well enough. Miss Yao was grounded but she didn't give up. Once a woman fell in love, she would easily lose her head. What's more, Yao Zhenzhen, who was loved since childhood, never had her Something not available.

"Eldest Miss, Second Miss came to see you." The servant girl announced at the door, although the master forbade the Eldest Miss to come out, he didn't say that others were not allowed to visit.

"Let her go!" Miss Yao smashed a cup out, she didn't want this concubine younger sister to watch her joke.

Second Miss Yao had already arrived, and she stood at the door and said softly, "Sister, don't be angry, Dad has no choice but to do this, and Mrs. Shen is too ignorant of good and evil, to ruin my sister's feelings like this."

"Have you finished? Get out!" Miss Yao felt extremely harsh when she heard these words.

"Sister, you... Do you really have to marry him? If so, my sister still has another trick, I don't know if my sister dares to do so."

After Shen Jia gave the purse to Yao Zhifu, she arranged for guards to follow her all the time, and even sent away the servants of Yao's family in the yard, so as not to be broken into again. He was planning to move out.

Ling Jingyun has already understood what happened, including Miss Yao's actions every time. From the perspective of bystanders, I have to praise this woman for being bold and shameless. It's wrong to make a mistake, anyway, it is impossible to go back on the imperial decree bestowing marriage, but the imperial decree did not stop him from taking a concubine.

Ling Jingyun reported the matter to the public that day. He could already foresee the emperor's mood, and he didn't know who would suffer this time.

"Lord Ling, don't look gloating. Even if you do, please avoid me." Shen Jia said helplessly to Ling Jingyun. After getting along for a few days, he understood Ling Jingyun a little bit.

The deputy commander of Jin Yiwei is true to be cruel, and also true to have a bad heart. In addition, he actually has a wicked taste of watching the excitement, and when he goes to deliver the letter, he does it in front of his own face. , I am afraid that if I don't know this matter, it will be heard by Datian soon.

Shen Jia has nothing to be afraid of, he has done nothing wrong, he is also very troubled by being stalked, okay?

Ling Jingyun touched his face, and asked indifferently: "Do I have it?"

Shen Jia nodded, "It's no wonder that civil and military officials in the whole court don't like Mr. Ling. Your character is a bit annoying."

Yesterday he followed him to see the prefect Yao, Shen Jia still cared about the girl's reputation, and said it very tactfully, anyway, he would understand when the things were delivered to the prefect Yao, but in the end Ling Jingyun had to make the matter clear and return a straight face. He said incredulously: "I never thought that the Yao family could still have such a frivolous and bold woman. It's really eye-opening."

Yao Zhifu immediately turned black. If he didn't care about his identity, he would have wanted to fight. It is conceivable that the two of them have formed a relationship, and they have their own.

Shen Jia felt extremely innocent, why should he be hated as a victim?

Ling Jingyun had no intention of reflecting at all, and said straightforwardly: "Isn't it good that everyone is afraid of me? If Jin Yiwei doesn't have this bit of majesty, it won't be easy to do things for the emperor."

He glanced at Shen Jia, and asked curiously: "But Mr. Shen doesn't seem to be afraid of me, is it because he is backed by a big mountain?"

Shen Jia replied with a half-smile: "No, my lord is not afraid of the slanting shadow, and I have done nothing wrong. Why should I be afraid of the Jin Yiwei? Lord Ling can't just fall into an official position for nothing, can he?"

"That's hard to say. Jin Yiwei obeys the emperor, and whoever the emperor wants to die must die. To be honest, when Mr. Shen was first awarded the first prize, I always thought that you would become the guest of Beizhen Fusi. I didn't expect Mr. Shen to be so humane." Gao Shen, even such a crisis can be safely overcome, Ling admires it!"

Shen Jia glared at him, who wants to be Beizhen Fusi's guest?Only those who have been sent to Zhao Prison will enter that ghost place. Even if Zhao Zhang wanted to take revenge on himself, he wouldn't be so cruel, right? "He also thought at the time that if Zhao Zhangji hated him, he would be sent away and never see each other for the rest of his life, or he would just find a reason to let his officials go back to his hometown to eat dirt, but he never thought about it I can still enter Beizhen Fusi.

He rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled and said to Ling Jingyun: "Master Ling is very good at joking. The emperor understands righteousness and can distinguish right from wrong. How could he wrong innocent officials? Master Ling should be more cautious when trying to figure out the holy will. Mistakes in cases can be very serious." Oh no."

Sure enough, I was right to avoid him, this is a wolf that eats people without spitting out bones!
