Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Su Yan was messed up in the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month on the streets of the capital, with a crying baby boy clutching candied haws on his chest.

Seeing Naiwa's own father disappear in the downtown, he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

After slowly calming down, Su Yan coaxed the crying little prince while thinking about what to do at this moment.Send Ah Ji to the Bing Ma Si, and send the Yamen servants to the Prince Yu's Mansion?It is estimated that they dare not take this hot potato, for fear that they will kidnap the prince and plant it.

Go directly to Prince Yu's Mansion and hand over Ah Ji to the guard at the gate?It seems to be feasible, even if King Yu doesn't accept it, I put the child on the top of the steps and leave, they can't just watch the crying prince and leave.

After making up his mind, Su Yan wiped the face full of tears with his sleeves, and secretly scolded King Yu's scumbag father for being heartless, such a lovely son was willing to throw it away, and then carried the child to the nearby tooth shop Hire a carriage.

After walking a few steps, he turned back and asked the owner of the wine shop, "Can the lamb wine in your shop really strengthen the spleen and stomach, waist and kidneys?"

"That's so powerful!" The boss boasted, waving the wine spoon. "Especially the soreness of the waist and knees caused by kidney deficiency. Drinking it twice will be effective. The lamb wine in our store is the most famous in Beijing."

Su Yan said decisively: "Give me two altars."

The wine jar is not big, and hanging on the belt will not affect walking too much, just be careful not to be kicked off by the child in your arms.

Prince Yu's Mansion is not far from here, at Qingmingfang in the northeast direction.When Su Yan walked to the dental shop, he found that the carriages had been hired to transport New Year's goods, so he had to rent a docile old horse, carried the child on the horse's back, and walked slowly through the crowded streets and alleys.

Ah Ji was held in his arms, shaking the newly bought rattle in his hand, and happily shouted: "Ride a big horse, ride a big horse!" Su Yan touched his little head and couldn't help smiling.

On Zhengyangmen Street, a team of Jinyi Weiti cavalry had just galloped in from the south gate. Seeing that there were many people on the road, they reined in their horses and walked slowly.

After finishing her errands, Shen Qi rushed back from Daxing, a suburban county of the capital overnight, with traces of smoke and falling snow in her eyes.

He stopped at the crossroads and said to Qianhu Shi Yanshuang and Wei Ying who followed: "You lead the team back to the yamen, and I will go to do some private affairs. I won't go to the yamen before the seventh day of the lunar new year. You arrange the staff on duty for the spring break. There must be someone staying in the yamen, and the supervision of the imperial prison must not be relaxed."

The two thousand households agreed.

During the Lingguang Temple incident, Shi Yanshuang learned that Shangguan had hidden a "goblin lady", so he even guessed that he was going to have a tryst.The man in charge of Qianhu was very good at running Huang Piao in his mind, so he leaned forward and asked in a low voice: "When will Mr. Tongzhi treat our brothers to a wedding wine? Will it be hidden in the golden house for a lifetime, and we will never be able to drink it?" ?”

Shen Qi was in a good mood, and didn't care about the old subordinate's gossip, she replied: "As long as he wants, he can do it anytime."

Shi Yanshuang pondered, this sentence seemed to have a deep meaning, could it be that Master Tongzhi was in a hurry to marry, and he was not willing to marry?He had long suspected that the other party was not a girl from an ordinary family, or that she was a man at all, and her identity was not easy to expose.So he tentatively asked: "What's the matter, Master Tongzhi has both good looks and power, what's the other party's dissatisfaction?"

Shen Qi smiled and lashed his thigh with a horsewhip, "Don't inquire about Shangguan's private affairs, otherwise your fiancee will know today that you secretly raised two wives."

Shi Yanshuang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately shut his mouth embarrassingly.

Shen Qi walked in the direction of Huanghuafang where Su's residence was located, suppressed her jumping heart, and finally came to the gate of Su's residence, got off her horse and knocked on the door.

Su Xiaojing gnawed on the chicken feet and came to answer the door, speaking vaguely: "Our lord is not here, please come back another day."

Shen Qi was startled, and said: "I posted a greeting card before and made an appointment. Where did your lord go?"

Su Xiaojing shook his head.

Shen Qi frowned slightly, and asked again: "Where's that frozen pear-faced guard?"

Su Xiaojing threw away the chicken bones, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and replied with a crackling voice: "My lord told him to go to the blacksmith's shop to get a hot pot. I made a new hot pot, and I made it according to the drawings drawn by my lord. I'll eat it when I'm preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner!"

"New Year's Eve dinner...with whom? Where?"

Su Xiaojing glanced at him strangely, "Where? Of course the New Year's Eve dinner is at home. My lord, brother Zhui, me and Xiaobei, there are only four of us in our family, all gone."

The New Year's Eve dinner is of course at home.

There are only four people in our family.

chasing brother.

Shen Qi's back molars were about to ache, she gritted her teeth and said, "Let me in first, and wait for him to come back in the hall."

Su Xiaojing shook his head like a rattle: "My lord didn't say to keep guests, and I can't be my lord's master as a servant."

Shen Qi had no choice but to settle for the next best thing: "Then I'll leave a letter for your lord, and when he comes back, please pass it on."

He took out the carbon rod and notebook that Jin Yiwei carried with him from his pocket, and wrote a few concise words, saying that he would come tomorrow, and that he was staying in the mansion for the past few days, sweeping the path to wait for distinguished guests to come, and not going to the official office anymore. .

Tear off the page and fold it in half. After thinking about it, I attached a letter of ten taels of silver and handed it to Su Xiaojing: "Little brother, you have worked hard. A little New Year's greetings. Take it to buy food."

Su Xiaojing's eyes were straightened when he saw such a generous shot, he was very moved, but in the end he shook his head and only took the paper, "My adults said, don't accept gifts from strangers casually, who knows whether the other party is offering bribes or baiting?" , take it easy."

His fingers left oily marks on the back of the paper, the corners of Shen Qi's eyes twitched, worried that Su Yan would dislike him for being sloppy.

Qinghe is such a clean person, when he rubbed a bloody handprint on his shoulder, he had to scrub it for a long time.Now, what if the paper is dirty and you don't want to touch it and throw it away?

Shen Qi was about to write another one, when Su Xiaojing said, "I'll hand it over when my lord comes back", and closed the door.

Qiming Qilang, who has a fierce reputation that can stop children from crying at night, was rejected in front of the stunned young servant of Su Yushi's family, but he still can't feel evil and anger in his heart, but he feels that the New Year's Eve dinner should not be eaten at his mother's house.

And does Qinghe like keeping dogs?Beizhen Fusi has raised a lot of dogs, they are fierce and agile, and they are more obedient and obedient than his unruly thorn-headed guard.Keeping guards is not as good as keeping dogs.

After Shen Qi left, not long after, Jing Hong came back on foot carrying a large tin pot with nine compartments.

Looking from a distance, Su Yan saw the brass-nailed and red-lacquered gate of Prince Yu's Mansion was open, like a pocket waiting for prey to throw itself into the net, and he suddenly felt vigilant.

Are you thinking too simply?Go up the steps, put down the child, and explain a few words...

Then the gatekeeper shouted——

"Where did the villain come from, how dare he abduct Prince Yu's son! Arrest him!"

So he was tied up, gagged, and carried into the palace like a sheep sacrificed to heaven, and fell into the hands of the dog Biyu who was in his arms.The palace is as deep as the sea, calling every day unresponsive, and calling the earth unresponsive...

Damn, I almost fell for it!

Su Yan immediately turned around and decided to go to the Shen residence as originally planned.

As for Aji, let's take it with me for the time being, anyway, he is quite obedient, as long as he keeps feeding him food, he won't make a fuss, much easier to take care of than the bear baby of his cousin's family in the previous life.

Su Yan came out from Qingqingfang, Shen Qi came out from the adjacent Huanghuafang, both of them went to Shen's mansion located in Xiaoyongfang to the west, so they bumped into each other at the crossroads, both of them looked pleasantly surprised.

Su Yan was more delighted than surprised, and said with a smile: "Qilang is back, it just so happens that he ran into him here."

Shen Qi was more surprised than happy, staring at the little baby in his arms, and asked: "Whose child? How can I hold it for you?"

Su Yan didn't want to mention the wicked King Yu, but was still thinking about how to fool him.Ah Ji seemed to be frightened by Shen Qi, she shrank into Su Yan's arms, and shouted: "Daddy!"

Shen Qi: "!!"

Su Yan: "..."

Ah Ji: "╮(ˉ▽ˉ)╭"

Shen Qi's face darkened, "Your son? Who gave birth to you, that old friend in Rouge Lane? Last summer, when you first arrived in Beijing to take the exam, you stayed with her for half a year, and it was only after you paid tribute in March this year that you broke up. Contact, don't try to hide it from me."

Su Yan hurriedly explained: "No, no, I just drank flower wine and listened to ditties at Ruan Hongjiao's place, and did nothing else... Why should I explain to you, you are not my father. And at that time you I don't know him yet, do I?"

He thought about what was wrong, and suddenly realized: "——You investigate me? Shen Qi, what are you trying to do, don't commit occupational diseases with me, I'll tell you!"

It's not just an investigation, Shen Qi also used Fuzhou Mansion's secret sentry of Jinyiwei for private use, turned upside down the eight generations of Su Yan's ancestors and all the big and small things since his birth, and even recorded them in a booklet. It's like a popular illustrated storybook nowadays.

When I can't see Su Yan's face, I look over and over again, looking for my own sense of participation from spying on the other party's short 17-year life.

Every time I read it again, I feel that the flesh and blood of each other are more glued together, and finally become bone of bone, flesh of flesh, completely integrated as one.

And when Su Yan first crossed over, the inexplicable ambiguity with the famous prostitute Ruan Hongjiao could not escape the eyes of Jin Yiwei, and he immediately developed a murderous desire to destroy flowers with his hands-it was nothing more than a joke before, a prostitute willing The dark knot of the bead womb leaves blood, and all kinds of entanglements will be needed in the future, so it is better to get rid of it before it happens.

Su Yan keenly sensed the darkness in the other party's eyes, subconsciously hugged Ah Ji, and raised her voice: "What do you want to do? You said it has nothing to do with Ruan Hongjiao, it wasn't born by her!"

Ah Ji couldn't get the remaining mung bean cake out of his hand, so he called anxiously: "Father, Ah Ji eats cake."

Shen Qi: "Who gave birth to that? Can daddy bark indiscriminately?"

Su Yan rolled his eyes and said ironically: "I gave birth to it myself, that's fine!"

Shen Qi stared at his waist, revealing a strange expression, "Even if she conceived for the first time, it's only seven months, not the time to give birth."

"I'm a big man, how can I conceive? Are you out of your mind?" Su Yan took him as a mockery, and said angrily, "I want my son crazy, so I'll find a woman to give birth to you, don't look for me!" Pull, turn around and leave.

Shen Qi hurriedly drove forward, leaned over and held his bridle, and said submissively: "I was stunned for a moment. You just joked, don't mind."

Su Yan wasn't really annoyed, and sighed: "Don't ask who this child is, I'm sure you'll be more responsive if you know. Anyway, I just take a look at it temporarily, and I'll find a suitable person and send him back to his house."

"...If you don't want to say it, then don't ask. Go to my house first, this little boy will be taken care of by the maid."

Su Yan was also worried that such a young child would not be able to poop and poop by himself, so it would be more appropriate for a maid to take care of him, so he nodded in agreement.

The two rode side by side.It was uncomfortable to knock the wine jar on the hip bone, Su Yan next handed it to Shen Qi: "Here, return gift from the fire sickle."

He always wanted to give Shen Qi something, but he always felt that it was inappropriate to pick and choose.Shen Qi lent him the golden silk soft armor - it was actually a gift, but he thought it was too precious at the time, so he refused to accept it, and finally returned it before leaving Beijing.So the other party sent a fire sickle as a parting gift.

I don't know what to order. I have been to Shaanxi and there are no special products that can be sold. They are all kinds of cakes, cakes, persimmons and red dates. The logistics in the capital is smooth. Are there any products from the north and the south?

I wanted to think about it more, but I just bought lamb wine for myself, so I gave it to the other party as a reunion gift.

As for the New Year's greetings, it has to be much more grand, and I will send it on the second and third day of the junior high school after I think about it.

Shen Qi took the wine jar, smelled it, raised her eyebrows and said, "Lamb wine?"

Su Yan nodded: "Yes, the shopkeeper said that his wine is the most famous in Beijing, and it specializes in treating kidney deficiency. Like sore waist and knees, it's quite right for (my) symptoms."

The word "my" only exists in the mind, and I am not ashamed to say it.So this sentence had a different meaning in Shen Tongzhi's ears.

Shen Qi: "..."

Shen Qi: "I see."

Su Yan: "Know what?"

Shen Qi: "Last time it wasn't that you didn't work hard for your husband, but that you were always worried about being nearby—"

Su Yan was shy and embarrassed: "Shut up! What kind of car are you driving blindly!"

drive?What do you mean... Could it be the cart that the old man pushes?Shen Qi said: "This time, just watch carefully, you will suffer."

Su Yan was a little flustered and turbulent, and said stiffly: "Why this time, there is no this time, just go sit, chat, and drink."

Shen Qi echoed: "Yes, chat and drink."

As a result, when they arrived at Shen's residence, they lifted Ajiu out of Su Yan's arms, threw him to the maidservant, and dragged him straight to the inner room.

Su Yan struggled and said, "Chat..."

"Talk in bed."

"drink wine?"

"Hey in bed."

"Wait... Don't talk... What are you doing in broad daylight... You smell of dust and sweat, you should take a bath!"

Shen Qi stopped her hands, and resentfully went to take a bath.

Su Yan sat disheveled on the edge of the bed, alone and confused: What am I doing here?Send cannons?No, this is too coquettish, I am a straight person with a bottom line... Straight or not, I have to have a bottom line, I can't let myself be depraved.

He tidied up his clothes and went to the maidservant to ask for Ah Ji.

Ah Ji urinated twice on the horse's back on the way, and pulled another lump in his trousers just after entering the door. He has just been washed and put on new clothes.

Su Yan hugged Ah Chi in his arms like a shield, nestled in the soft cushion of the Luohan couch in the study, and began to draw ducks on the kang table, teaching him to count.

Shen Qi quickly finished her bath, but there was no one in the bedroom, she went out to ask the maid with a livid face, and then immediately turned to the study.

Seeing the happy scene of one big and one small, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and asked, "You like little brats that much?"

Su Yan smiled and said, "You are so cute." He patted the surface of the couch, "Come, have a drink and chat casually."

Shen Qi was still wanting just now, but now she was not in a hurry, sat on the couch and poured the wine herself.

The two chatted in detail about their experiences in the past six months.Ah Ji couldn't understand, couldn't sit still, crawled all over the study, searched everywhere, broke two pairs of good porcelain, and was finally carried away by the maid.

Su Yan said shyly, "I'll ask his family to pay for it later."

Shen Qi didn't feel bad for antiques, so it couldn't be more cost-effective to exchange two vases with cracked ice from elder brother's kiln for this little bastard to get lost.

He lifted the Kang table away, pressed Su Yan and said, "You don't need to pay, just let me kiss him."

Su Yan chuckled: "You really can't kiss his father——hmm..." Then he couldn't speak anymore.

The two rolled around on the couch and kissed for a long time. Su Yan put his arms around Shen Qi's neck, panting and said: "I'm afraid there will be a change in Beimo, and the capital city will not be peaceful. As soon as I come back, I will smell the smell of imminent movement ..."

Shen Qi bit his earlobe, and asked in a deep voice: "You always stand by the prince, does that mean the emperor?"

Su Yan said: "The emperor and the young master are deeply in love with each other. Besides, the Wei family and I are already in the same situation, and we must not let their ambitions succeed. Qilang, to be honest, I secretly say——"

He leaned closer to Shen Qi's ear, "Zhu Helin is the next emperor. This is the destiny - even if the destiny is tampered with, I will forcefully bend it back to the right path."

Shen Qi was silent for a moment, and said: "He's still a lot short of success. Moreover, the emperor is still in his prime, so it's hard to say what will happen in the next few decades. Let me tell you the truth, don't stand in line too early. Destiny is hard to ask, the emperor's heart It's the same, there are unpredictable things in the sky, and no one knows which gust of wind will blow tomorrow."

He paused for a moment, then added: "The East Palace is being targeted, and the poisonous snake case is just the beginning. The blood-eyed assassin who died madly has more than one Hidden Sword Gate behind him. The prince may not survive the next assassination."

"I know, but... just treat me as a desperate gambler." Su Yan looked at him with expectation, "I'll bet on Zhu Helin."

Shen Qi lowered her head and kissed the center of his brow, said without thinking: "You bet on me. Mr. Xianggong risked his life to gamble with you, we will live and die together."
