Traitor, he is bent on death

Chapter 13 Huanhualou

After seeing off the brothers and sisters of the Qin family, Jiang Jintang turned and went back, Shanyue held an umbrella for him, and suddenly said: "Actually, it's a good thing that Miss Qin likes the master."

Jiang Jintang's world is too pale, there should be some bright colors.

"It's just being fooled by the appearance." Jiang Jintang's voice was very calm: "How much is such a love worth?"

Shanyue opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

When he was young, he always hated himself for not being able to see through everything, but now he feels that if he sees this world too clearly, he will lose his life.

Jiang Jintang lifted the hem of his clothes and stepped onto the eaves. It happened that a piece of red plum petals fell in front of his eyes with the wind. It is a rare thing that everyone is eager to see, but once the flowering period is over, it will be scattered into mud, but the mud under the feet of the world."

"She is too young to see the bones under the beauty's skin." Jiang Jintang smiled: "In a few years, she may still regret being young and frivolous now."

Shanyue couldn't help but said: "You are different——"

"——What's different about me?" Jiang Jintang stood in the corridor, looking at the silver-clad courtyard: "Maybe even the bones under my skin will be gone, and when I die, nothing will be left behind."

Shanyue frowned, and was about to speak, but Jiang Jintang seemed to know what he was going to say, and changed the subject: "How is Yao Chunhui?"

Shanyue remembered the expression on Yao Chunhui's face when she took her to see her mother's body.

The strange thing is that she obviously didn't cry, but still made people feel the great grief, and his heart hurt at that moment, thinking of the old things many years ago.

Jiang Jintang raised his hand to catch a falling snowflake. His body temperature was rather cold, but the snowflake didn't turn into water immediately, but stopped at his fingertips for a moment with the most beautiful gesture.

Shanyue smiled, and said: "When I saw the princess, it was as if I saw myself back then. I clearly felt the same, but I still didn't know how to comfort her."

"Most people in the world are like this." Jiang Jintang said.

Shanyue hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Master, did you feel the same way when you saw me?"

Jiang Jintang shook his head. He looked up at the sky and said, "No one can empathize with me."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to laugh at himself, smiled, and said, "It's cold, let's go back."

……

The days passed quickly, and Jiang Jintang's confinement time passed in the blink of an eye. Qin Xu came to the door with a special wine to celebrate Jiang Jintang, but Doctor Chen drove out with a broom. Qin Xu coughed: "Old Chen Don't get angry, I drink this wine for myself, I can't drink a drop of Jiuqian..."

Doctor Chen snorted coldly: "I can't believe the nonsense that General Qin said."

Qin Xu was annoyed by this old man, but he couldn't do anything to him, not to mention that Chen Zheheng was the number one expert in Xinglin, but now that he was a native of the Nine Thousand Years Old Mansion, Qin Xu couldn't move.

"Mr. Chen." Qin Xu sighed, and put the unconscious body that he dug out from the courtyard of the General's Mansion with his own hands on the ground, raised his hands and said, "Is it okay for me to go in like this?"

Chen Zheheng looked him up and down, making sure that he didn't have anything on him that could feed Jiang Jintang to death, and then threw the broom in his hand: "General, please."

Qin Xu felt sorry for his good wine, so he specially asked the deputy general to watch over him, and he entered the Qiansui Mansion by himself.

Perhaps it was because Xuan Lan was busy with the marriage matters during this period and didn't cause trouble for Jiang Jintang, and because he didn't have to go to court, he saved a lot of trouble, or because Meng Chun was about to pass, and the spring had to support some people, Jiang Jintang's complexion It looks much better.

Qin Xu hadn't seen Jiang Jintang since the last time he brought his embarrassing younger sister home. One was busy, and the other was really ashamed. Seeing him just waking up from a spring sleep with flushed cheeks, Qin Xu was taken aback.

Shanyue served him a cup of tea and said, "Why is General Qin free today?"

It was a lot warmer in the beginning of spring, and everyone put on lighter spring clothes, but Jiang Jintang was still burning earth dragons and laying out smoked cages. Qin Xu Junyi's face was a little reddened by the heat, and he tugged at his collar, saying: " Didn't I think that Jiu Qiansui would be bored in the mansion all day long and take Jiu Qiansui to have some fun?"

Jiang Jintang sat up, took a sip of Babao Leicha, and said in a low voice, "I think it's good to stay in the mansion. Recently, I'm still thinking about how to provoke Xuanlan again and let him continue to restrain me."

Qin Xu couldn't help laughing: "If he finds out, he will definitely be angry again... But speaking of it, I didn't know much about Jiangnan's affairs, but I heard that you deducted the discount. After January, Jiangnan is still there. I have not waited for the allocation of funds, and I am already preparing to go to Beijing to sue the imperial court."

Jiang Jintang thought for a while and said, "I remember Jiangnan Jiedushi is the younger brother of Marquis Ningyuan."

"Yin Yao." Qin Xu said: "I have dealt with this person before, he is as cunning as his brother, very difficult to deal with, Jiangnan is basically the Yin family's world, I advise you not to wade into this muddy water. "

Jiang Jintang raised his eyes and said, "This is not what a loyal and patriotic General Qin should say."

Qin Xu said with a half-smile, "Checking Jiangnan is not something that a nine thousand year old who is in trouble with the government should do."

"The four families have been powerful since the founding emperor of the country. All the emperors in the past did not want to get rid of them quickly. Not to mention that they failed to succeed. Almost all the queens of the past came from these four families. Their relationship with the royal family was so entangled that even the emperor They dare not use ruthless hands to pull it out, for fear that it will shake the foundation of the country."

Jiang Jintang's voice was soft: "But if they are not eradicated, the Four Great Families are no different from moths. They are encroaching on the rights of the whole world all the time. When the late emperor was alive, he had the determination to cut off his wrists, but in the end he chose to give up."

"If I were the emperor, I would choose the same way." Qin Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "If I lose, my century-old foundation will be ruined. It will be recorded in the history books that I am incompetent. , if the four major families continue to develop like this, the imperial power will indeed be completely emptied, but this development is slow, and the next generation's affairs will only cause headaches for the next generation, why should I worry about this mess."

"That's right." Jiang Jintang said: "The sixteen emperors of the Daye Dynasty all thought so, so they allowed the four great masters to grow continuously for 300 years, so that even if they cut off their wrists, they can no longer recover."

"Why are you suddenly talking about this today?" Qin Xu wondered, "Afraid that the little emperor will be incompetent and be turned into a puppet by the four great families?"

Jiang Jintang smiled and shook his head, instead of answering this question, he said, "When you came here earlier, didn't you say you wanted to take me to see some fun?"

"It's fun." Qin Xu's face was unpredictable: "There are three major events in the capital recently, and which three do you guess?"

"The eunuch gets married, the emperor becomes a queen, and there will be a catastrophe in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"Hahahahahaha." Qin Xu laughed out loud, "Jiangnan is thousands of miles away, how could the capital care how much trouble they have encountered, you only guessed the first two things correctly."

Since ancient times, the world has been like this, the wine and meat of the Zhumen smell bad, and the road is frozen to death. Jiang Jintang smiled and asked: "Then what is the third thing?"

Qin Xu said: "The largest gold selling cave in the capital is called Huanhualou. Some time ago, another oiran came out. This oiran was originally from an official family lady, but later her family fell into the wind and moon. She is proficient in everything, good at dancing and has a good voice. She is beautiful and affectionate. Tonight, there is a place in Huanhualou to auction her first night. The son of the capital is very lively. Do you want to see this fun?"

Jiang Jintang was not interested in this, and said indifferently: "General Qin is indeed a veteran in Fengyue Field, and he knows everything about Fengyue in Beijing like the back of his hand, but unfortunately I am powerless, so I won't accompany you."

"Nine thousand years old, I am so wronged." Qin Xu looked at his calm expression, and said with a smile: "I have been fighting outside all year round, and I can count the time in Beijing with one hand. How can I be a veteran in Fengyuechang?" , but this oiran's identity is very special."

As he spoke, he turned his eyes and glanced at Shanyue, who was a little dazed: "... General Qin, I am practicing boy kungfu, so I can't go shopping in brothels." You can't visit the kiln."

Qin Xu: "..."

Jiang Jintang noticed something, and said: "Shanyue, last time someone sent venison and venison blood, you go find it and bring it back to General Qin, so that he won't be laughed at by the girls when he visits the brothel."

Shanyue couldn't hold back her laughter and said, "Yes."

Qin Xu said with a dark face, "I don't need these things."

Jiang Jintang raised his eyebrows, and said: "Counting age, the general is about the same as me, he is not a young man who has reached the crown, so don't worry about it."

Qin Xu stood up abruptly: "I never—"

Seeing Shanyue walking away, Jiang Jintang's expression faded, and he said: "I offended the general, the general is fierce and powerful, I think he doesn't need to eat venison, take it back to reward the lieutenants."

Qin Xu just sat down and said, "I just told you that this oiran comes from a family of officials and eunuchs. Do you know whose daughter she is?"

Jiang Jintang sighed softly: "...she is Qiu Yuanlang's daughter."

Qin Xu was not surprised that he could guess it, and said: "Yes, back then, the Qiu family was imprisoned by Wen's family and distributed for three thousand miles. This girl was still young, and she was sold to the old bustard in Huanhualou by a pawn who was escorted on the road. The old bustard sees that she is very beautiful at a young age and has been kept in the building, so she is waiting to bring out a cash cow."

Jiang Jintang pondered for a while.

Shanyue abandoned her past from the moment she met him, Jiang Jintang didn't know if he still hated it or not, Shanyue has never mentioned the matter of Wen's family in these years, maybe she really wanted to make a clean break.

He was a little unsure if it was a good thing for Shanyue to know that Qiu Yuanlang's daughter was still alive.

Qin Xu added: "This girl has changed her name to Linxian."

Jiang Jintang just smiled: "Linyuan Xianyu...is not a good meaning."

Qin Xu grabbed a handful of dried fruit on the table, peeled it and said, "I heard something back then. It is said that the Wen and Qiu families are family friends, and this generation is destined to be married. Speaking of which, Linxian is Shanyuewei. The wife who passed the door, so I came to inform you."

Jiang Jintang pondered for a long time before saying, "I'll go to Huanhualou tonight."

Qin Xu said: "Nine thousand years old treats people around me very well."

Jiang Jintang said softly: "Employing people, that's the case, they must be rewarded and punished, and besides... Linxian may not become Shanyue's weakness, such a good handle, why should I not hold it in my hand?"

Qin Xu didn't speak for a while, and when Jiang Jintang placed a piece on the chessboard, he said: "I have known Jiuqiantui for many years, and we can barely be regarded as half friends, but there is still one thing that I don't understand. You have shown such utilitarianism, you and Shanyue's six-year master and servant have some affection, and it is reasonable to help him this time."

The overall situation on the chessboard was decided, and the black pieces turned defeat into victory. Jiang Jintang picked up the jade pieces one by one into the chessboard, and when his fingers were placed together with the white jade pieces, Qin Xu couldn't tell which one was fairer for a moment.

"I am such a utilitarian person." Jiang Jintang picked up the chess pieces seriously with lowered eyes, and his voice was light: "I don't like to use emotions to control a person, because human nature is the most unpredictable, so it's better to spread out my utilitarianism , mutual clarity."

When he said this, he raised those fox-like eyes and looked at Qin Xu: "If I have a relationship with General Qin, will General Qin dare to cooperate with me?"

At that moment, Qin Xu didn't know what was going on, his mind was in chaos, and he was about to blurt out the word "dare", but fortunately he stopped in time and smiled hastily: "That's what Jiu Qiansui said."

He felt that he was ridiculous. He told his sister that Jiang Jintang was an abyss that he couldn't touch a month ago, but now he almost fell into hatred.
