After the scheming is dressed into an innocent beauty
Chapter 21 Jing Yu Has Someone He Likes
A day later, Bai Jinfu and Jing Yu returned to the capital.
When they arrived at the gate of Ning'an Hou Mansion, Jiang Shuheng bid farewell to the two of them. Before leaving, he patted his horse and passed by Bai Jinfu. Taking advantage of Jingyu's inattention, he lowered his head and winked at Bai Jinfu twice, "Is that how we say it?"
Bai Jinfu nodded, "Yes."
They thought that Jing Yu hadn't noticed their little actions, but in fact Jing Yu had been watching their every move, but he didn't show his face.
Jiang Shuheng left, Bai Jinfu and Jing Yu walked to the mansion, and when they reached the fork in the road back to his residence, Bai Jinfu was about to say goodbye to Jing Yu, but Jing Yu suddenly said in a nonchalant way, "You can say hello to him. what?"
"What?" Bai Jinfu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Jing Yu must have heard the conversation he had just had with Jiang Shuheng, his eyes wandered for a while, and he quickly made up a reason to fool Jing Yu, "Oh, it's nothing, at the Bai Family University The general saved me once, and I plan to treat him to a drink someday to express my gratitude."
Jing Yu's gaze was fixed on Bai Jinfu's face, examining him, "That's all?"
Bai Jinfu blinked blankly, with an innocent expression on his face, "Otherwise, what else could there be?"
Jing Yu withdrew his gaze, turned sideways and said indifferently: "Jiang Shuheng is frivolous and rebellious. He has offended many people in Beijing. You should keep some distance from him."
"..." Bai Jinfu lowered his head and pinched his cuffs, "But he saved me after all, I just treated him to a drink, shouldn't it be fine?"
Jing Yu suddenly suggested, "I can thank him for you."
Bai Jinfu was stunned: "...Can you help with this kind of thing?"
Jing Yu is already helping Bai Jinfu to plan how to repay Jiang Shuheng's favor, "Gold, silver and jewelry will never be missing in the General's Mansion, and he won't like antique calligraphy and paintings, so I will ask someone to find two magical weapons Send it to his house, what do you think?"
Bai Jinfu didn't know what to say, so he coughed and said in a low voice, "You don't need it, Lord Hou, I know you did this for my own good, but I can't rely on you for everything, I always have My own interpersonal communication, and if I do so, it will appear very insincere, and the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by the spring, which is what you taught me."
Hearing that Bai Jinfu rejected his proposal, Jing Yu didn't say anything else. He has never been a person who likes to argue with others. His eyelashes drooped to hide the darkness in his eyes well, and he said softly: "Okay, what should I do?" You decide what to do, go back and have a good rest, I'm leaving."
Bai Jinfu looked at Jing Yu's leaving back, rubbed his eyes inexplicably, wondering, why did he have the feeling that Jing Yu was angry?
But who was he mad at, and why?
It can't be because of him, right?Impossible, obviously he has always been a good baby in front of Jing Yu.
So the illusion must be his illusion.
-
Early the next morning, Jing Yu was going to enter the palace to report to Emperor Longqing the result of his trip to Suzhou to find the whereabouts of the Seventh Prince.
But unexpectedly, when the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, Jing Yu ran into Han Yucheng as soon as he got off the horse.
The two saluted each other, and Han Yucheng was the first to say: "Is Marquis Ning An planning to enter the palace to tell the emperor that the Seventh Prince has been found?"
Jing Yu was not sure who was behind the scenes who blocked them from finding someone in Suzhou, but when he saw that Han Yucheng was waiting for him here today, he guessed eight out of ten in his heart, so he said without changing his face: "The news from the prime minister is indeed Well-informed."
Han Yucheng looked at Jing Yu with a half-smile and said, "If you were Hou Ye, you wouldn't be telling the emperor that the Seventh Prince is dead now."
Jing Yu put his sleeves on his back and said, "Why did the prime minister say that?"
Han Yucheng pondered and said: "There is still one month left before the deadline given by the emperor, and the Chinese New Year is about to come. Could it be that Lord Hou wants the emperor to spend this year immersed in the pain of losing a child? In my opinion, Anyway, this matter is already a dead end, it is better to let it go first, maybe things will turn for the better."
Jing Yu sneered slightly, pretending to be surprised and said: "It turns out that the Prime Minister is waiting here to explain the confusion to the Marquis."
"Don't take it as an answer, it's just words from the heart." Han Yucheng raised his hand with a smile, and waved it lightly, "Oh, by the way, I heard that Concubine Shu seems to be feeling a little unwell recently. If you are free, you can ask the order to go to the palace to visit Concubine Shu. The truth is that I have other political affairs to deal with, so I will take my leave first."
Jing Yu knew that Han Yucheng's visit was not kind, but he couldn't figure out why Han Yucheng wanted to prevent him from telling Emperor Longqing about the death of the seventh prince. What good would it do Han Yucheng?
But Han Yucheng really reminded him of one thing just now, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, if you go to Emperor Longqing rashly, disasters and fortunes will be unpredictable, why not consult with your aunt who understands Emperor Longqing's thoughts best first.
Jing Yu handed over a sign to enter the palace and asked to visit Concubine Shu. After two sticks of incense, the eunuch in Concubine Shu's palace came out to pick him up into the palace.
Concubine Shu Jing is Jing Yu's aunt. She became Emperor Longqing's side concubine when Emperor Longqing was still in his residence. Emperor Longqing valued it. Since the death of Empress Huiyuan, the affairs of the six palaces have been handed over to the noble concubine and Concubine Shu. However, Concubine Han has only been in the palace for ten years, so in this palace, Concubine Shu can be said to know Longqing best. God's people.
Arriving at Concubine Shu's Palace, after Jing Yu greeted Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu turned away the other palace people, leaving only an old lady who was her confidant to serve tea and talk to Jing Yu.
Concubine Shu waved her hand to signal Jing Yu to sit down, and asked with a smile, "Bofei, why are you free to come to my aunt today?"
Jing Yu first asked with concern: "How is your aunt these days?"
Concubine Shu smiled and said: "Everything is fine in this palace, I heard that you went to Suzhou a few days ago, how is it, is there any whereabouts of the Seventh Prince?"
Concubine Shu was in good health, and Han Yucheng was indeed cheating on him. Jing Yu's eyes flickered, and he told Concubine Shu with a normal face that a boy named Li Gan he found in Suzhou was probably the Seventh Prince. over again.
Concubine Shu was shocked when she heard that Li Qian had passed away ten years ago, she lowered her head and sighed quietly, her expression seemed unbearable, then she raised her head and said to Jing Yu: "It's a good thing Bofei, you didn't report to the emperor immediately. This matter. Recently the crown prince and king Lie led ministers to quarrel with each other because of different political views. The emperor is having a headache because of this matter. If you rush to tell the emperor that the seventh prince has passed away at this time, you will form an alliance with Baiyue If the matter is not resolved, it will only make the emperor even more furious."
Emperor Longqing was already over seventy years old. Although his body was still in good health, the older he got, the more he refused to accept his old age. As a result, his temper had become worse and worse in recent years, and his moods were unstable. Killing is also common.
Jing Yu's face was solemn, and he asked Concubine Shu: "According to my aunt, when is it appropriate to report this matter to the emperor?"
"If that child is really the Seventh Prince, then once he dies, you will not be able to complete this errand." Concubine Shu waved her hand, her eyes flashing shrewdly, "So I think it's not appropriate to tell the emperor the truth for the time being, why don't you Disclose the news privately to the Prince and King Lie first, and then wait and see what happens."
Jing Yu understands what Concubine Shu means. In the final analysis, this matter has the greatest relationship with the emperor's eldest grandson and King Lie. If the seventh prince cannot be found, they should be the most anxious. Since he is helpless, it is better to send the prince and King Lie Let's get into the water together, even if Emperor Longqing asks about it afterwards, these two people will act as a shield.
Jing Yu was a little hesitant, "But if you don't report what you know, you're deceiving the king..."
Concubine Shu raised her hands and covered her sleeves with a sneer, and looked at Jing Yu and said earnestly, "Bofei, you still don't know our emperor well enough. The emperor has everything going on every day, so why would you care about such a trivial matter? He wants you to find someone. When the time comes, you As long as the job is done by handing over the person to him, as for the process, those are not important, understand?"
Concubine Shu watched Jing Yu grow up since she was a child. The aunt and nephew love each other like mother and son. Of course, she can't harm Jing Yu.
Jing Yu made up his mind, stood up and thanked Concubine Shu, "Thank you for your advice, Auntie."
Concubine Shu waved her hand to tell him not to be too polite, she looked at him lovingly and said, "Just because you are too upright, it doesn't mean that it's not good, but now that the Crown Prince and the Lie Wang are fighting for power, and the party struggle is intensifying, our Hou Mansion can only protect ourselves wisely." For a while, I was afraid that you would suffer losses if you were caught in the middle, so I was really worried for you."
Jing Yu smiled lightly: "Aunt, don't worry too much. Jing Yu just doesn't want to do what I don't want to do in order to have a clear conscience, but it doesn't mean that I will let others take advantage of me. Please don't worry, aunt, as long as Jing Yu is around One day, no one can bully the Ning'an Houfu."
Concubine Shu nodded, and said approvingly: "It's good that you know it in your heart. By the way," Concubine Shu thought of something, and changed the subject, "The day before yesterday, Princess Dongyang came to the palace to visit the palace, and by the way, Princess Changle chose a son-in-law. Bofei, do you know that Princess Changle is interested in you?"
Jing Yu's expression remained unchanged, and he said indifferently, "I don't know."
Concubine Shu saw that his face was not happy at all, and she almost knew that Jing Yu didn't like Princess Changle, so she lowered her head and smiled and said, "Princess Dongyang originally wanted to ask the emperor to directly order you to marry Princess Changle." ..."
At this moment, Jing Yu's face changed drastically, and he stood up immediately, "No, aunt!"
"Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet." Concubine Shu looked at Jing Yu, who was reacting fiercely, with some surprise, "The emperor values our Hou Fu and you, so he didn't make an order immediately, let me come first." Let me ask you what you mean... Bofei, do you have someone in your heart?"
Jing Yu's expression returned to normal when he heard the words, and he denied, "Nothing."
Concubine Shu looked at Jing Yu nonchalantly, raised her eyebrows slightly, and didn't ask any questions, but she didn't believe it in her heart. She watched Jing Yu grow up and knew this nephew best.
Jing Yu has always kept himself clean, and he is not very keen on the affairs of men and women. Because he wants to be filial piety for the old Hou Ye, he has not discussed marriage until now. Concubine Shu once tried to ask Jing Yu about his thoughts on his marriage. Yes, as long as the girl is virtuous, other aunts can make decisions for him.
But Jing Yu's reaction just now was too abnormal. Dongyang Princess's Mansion and Ning'an Hou's Mansion are well matched, and Princess Changle is also a delicate and beautiful woman. This marriage can be said to be a match made in heaven. Concubine Shu really can't figure out why Jing Yu wants Refuse, unless he already has someone else in his heart.
Concubine Shu asked: "You have no one in your heart, so why don't you want to marry Princess Changle?"
Jing Yu couldn't think of any reason for a while, but there was a voice in his heart that kept shouting and rejecting, so he could only perfunctoryly say: "The daughter of the princess, I am neither considerate nor sensual, marrying me is only afraid of wronging her .”
"Who was wronged?" Concubine Shu chuckled, patted the stove in her hand, and said leisurely, "What about the princess, our lintel in Ning'an Hou's mansion is not low, let alone you are a famous young talent in the family, Do you know how many noble girls in the capital want to marry you? So, do you think this palace will believe you for this reason?"
Jing Yu's heart was in a mess, he couldn't figure out what to do for a while, he put his hands on his sides, lowered his head and remained silent.
"Forget it, I won't force you if you don't want to say it." Concubine Shu raised her hand and waved her sleeves, "I'm not a ruthless person either. If you have a girl you really like, when will you make up your mind to take her with you?" Come and meet me, if she is really a good girl, I can help you to ask the emperor to make decisions for you."
Jing Yu looked up at Concubine Shu gratefully and saluted with a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Auntie."
However, although Concubine Shu didn't ask Jing Yu face to face who the person in Jing Yu's heart was, but out of concern for Jing Yu, as soon as Jing Yu left the palace, she sent someone to Ning'an Hou Mansion to inquire about the situation from Mrs. Yang.
Mrs. Yang usually sees Jing Yu when Jing Yu comes to pay her respects. Of course she doesn't know when she asks, but she turns around and tells Wang Qiaoying about it. When Wang Qiaoying heard that Jing Yu had someone in her heart She suddenly felt that the sky was about to fall, so she turned her head and cried to find Jing Haoyuan, arguing and insisting that Jing Haoyuan go to help her find out who the charming girl who seduced Jing Yu was.
Jing Haoyuan was so annoyed by Wang Qiaoying that he could only agree, but even if he had the courage to ask Jing Yu directly, he thought of Bai Jinfu who was often with Jing Yu recently.
Ever since he tried to take advantage of Bai Jin's support twice, but was spoiled by the eldest grandson of the emperor and Jiang Shuheng one after another, and had to be punished by Jing Yu when he came back, Jing Haoyuan has restrained himself a lot. He was originally a playboy, and Bai Jin Although the tree is beautiful, there are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world. Since you can't get the white brocade tree, you should change it.
Jing Haoyuan sneaked into Bai Jinfu's yard while Jing Yu was out of the house during the day, and asked Bai Jinfu if he knew who Jing Yu was thinking about.
After hearing this, Bai Jinfu was skeptical, "You said Lord Hou has someone he likes?"
"Don't you know?" Seeing Bai Jinfu's bewildered expression, Jing Haoyuan asked strangely, "Aren't you very close to my elder brother?"
Bai Jinfu interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Where did you hear these gossips? Don't listen to the fact that the wind is the rain, it will ruin the reputation of Lord Hou."
"Of course I say that because I have the exact information. You still dare to question me." Jing Haoyuan "cut" dissatisfiedly, tapped his fingers on the table, and shook his head triumphantly, "To tell you the truth, this matter It was Concubine Shu in the palace, that is, my aunt sent someone to inform my mother, Concubine Shu said that Lord Hou admitted in front of her that he had someone he liked, but he didn't say who it was."
Bai Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, did Jing Yu really like someone?That's a happy event.
He tried his best to recall the women Jing Yu had been in contact with recently, and guessed, "Could it be Princess Changle?"
Jing Haoyuan said firmly, "Impossible!"
Bai Jinfu frowned, "Why is it impossible?"
Jing Haoyuan lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Tell you, don't spread it to the outside world. It is because of that woman that my brother refused to marry the princess of Changle, so how could it be the princess."
"..." Bai Jinfu spread out his hands to express his helplessness, "Then I really don't know who it is."
Jing Haoyuan rubbed his chin and said to himself: "You stayed with my brother every day, if you didn't even know, then who is this woman who can fascinate my brother? It's a great trick. "
Bai Jinfu was also aroused by Jing Haoyuan's words. It is not certain whether he will use any means or not, but there must be something extraordinary about a woman who can win the heart of a gentleman like Jing Yu.
In the evening, Bai Jinfu made an appointment with Jiang Shuheng for a drink. After dismissing Jing Haoyuan, he packed up and left the house. The location was fixed by Jiang Shuheng. When he got there, he saw that it was a brothel.
Jiang Shuheng was already inside, and the bustard took Bai Jinfu upstairs to a private room to find Jiang Shuheng, and saw Jiang Shuheng sitting in it, accompanied by a beauties on the left and right, one fed him wine, and the other fed him fruit , It's really a blessing.
The room was filled with the pungent scent of rouge and water powder. Bai Jinfu waved his sleeves in front of him, frowned at Jiang Shuheng, and said with disgust, "Why did you come to such a place?"
He was quite a decent person in Suzhou a few days ago, but when he returned to the capital, his nature was exposed, and he started to spend his days and nights like those dudes.
Jiang Shuheng raised his wine glass to his lips, and smiled generously, "What's the matter, you said you wanted to buy me a drink to thank me, do you feel bad about money when you come to this kind of place?"
"Is this a matter of money?" Bai Jinfu found a clean place to sit down, "You are also an official of the court after all, don't you know that officials are not allowed to have sex with prostitutes? If someone sees you, be careful that others will interfere with you."
"Then you should see who dares to control me." Jiang Shuheng sneered disdainfully, then pointed to Bai Jinfu and said to the beauty on the left, "You go and serve that young master."
Bai Jin quickly waved his hand, "No, I don't need anyone to wait on you, just enjoy yourself."
"You've come here and you're still pretending to be a serious person. Don't learn to be as confused as Jing Yu, you're almost a little old-fashioned." After Jiang Shuheng finished drinking, he threw the glass on the table and leaned back. On the soft pillow, she said lazily, "Tianxianglou is the most famous brothel in the capital. The girls here are the most gentle, considerate and understanding. Whether you like tall, short, fat, thin, sweet or spicy, There are all kinds of them, you just pick and choose.”
Bai Jinfu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thought of something, tilted his head and looked at Jiang Shuheng, "Really, there are all kinds of things?"
Jiang Shuheng thought that Bai Jinfu's heart was moved, so he sneered, showing an expression of "everyone is a man, I understand you".
Bai Jinfu asked: "Then what kind of girl do you like?"
"Me?" Jiang Shuheng was caught off guard by the question, and before his brain had time to think, he met Bai Jinfu's eyes and said, "I like...good-looking ones."
Bai Jinfu laughed at him: "Superficial."
Jiang Shuheng retorted, "You are not superficial, do you like ugly ones?"
Bai Jinfu snorted coldly, "I pay more attention to the inside."
After speaking, he was in a trance for a while, if it were Jing Yu, what kind of girl would he like?
Thinking of this, he stood up, opened the door and went out to call the old bustard, "Buddhist, please come and let me have a look at the most beautiful and talented girl in Tianxianglou."
Jing Yu must like this kind of woman who is both internal and external, talented and beautiful.
The old bustard flicked her handkerchief and said with a smile: "Yo! You are right, sir, we have more than one beautiful girl with a good literary talent in Xianglou today."
Bai Jinfu threw an ingot of silver to the bustard, and said briskly: "Then call them all over."
The old bustard took the money, smiled broadly, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay! I'll call the officer right away!"
Jiang Shuheng was stunned when he saw this. He originally wanted to tease Bai Jinfu. After all, Bai Jinfu usually looks quite innocent, but he didn't expect that Bai Jinfu's appetite suddenly grew when he came here. He didn't think one was enough, so he wanted to call a group ?
Now Jiang Shuheng was not happy anymore, waved his hands to let the beauties on both sides go away, stood up and walked to Bai Jinfu, and asked calmly, "Why do you call so many girls?"
"Play." After Bai Jinfu finished speaking, he felt ambiguous, and then explained, "I didn't mean to play with girls, but to let girls come and play with us."
Jiang Shuheng raised his eyebrows, "Is there a difference between the two?"
Bai Jinfu waved his hand, "I'm too lazy to tell you, didn't you just tell me to let go and stop pretending to be prudish? How much do you call me now?"
Jiang Shuheng was out of breath, "Bai, Jin, Fu!"
Seeing that the bustard had brought a group of colorfully dressed girls over, Bai Jinfu mercilessly pushed Jiang Shuheng away, "Don't make noise, the girl is here! Don't delay me seeing the girl!"
Jiang Shuheng was pushed aside, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he felt as if he had lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot.
Seeing Bai Jinfu's lavish hands and face, the old bustard thought she was being taken advantage of, and called over a dozen girls at once, crowded the room, and stepped forward to salute Bai Jinfu one by one.
Bai Jinfu sat in front with his knees bent, looked at these girls with his chin in his hands, and secretly evaluated in his heart, this one is too contrived, that one is too coquettish, this one looks like scheming green tea, that one must be white lotus... no matter which one looks like Not the type that Jing Yu would like.
After seeing more than a dozen beauties, Bai Jinfu yawned boredly, then turned to look at Jiang Shuheng, "Didn't you say that there are all kinds of girls here?"
Jiang Shuheng watched Bai Jinfu look at the girl from the sidelines the whole time. The one who was so focused didn't even blink his eyes. The unknown fire in his heart was about to burst into his throat. With a sneer, he said sarcastically, "What? There are so many of them, and you still don't think you can see enough?"
Bai Jinfu thought that it was Jiang Shuheng who was disturbed by him so he didn't have a good time today, so he was unhappy, so he first gave the old bustard a silver coin and told her to take all the girls out, then poured two glasses of wine, and brought a glass to Jiang Shuheng, winking and fawning Looking at Jiang Shuheng, he said, "General, can you do me a favor?"
Jiang Shuheng took the wine and frowned, "What's the matter?"
Bai Jin helped and said, "I want to go to Lianhuaguan tomorrow, why don't you go with me?"
Jiang Shuheng was puzzled, "Why do you need someone to accompany you when you go to Lianhua Temple?"
It's not because there is an old monster in Lianhua Temple.
Now Ji Fengyao is the only one left among the few scumbags. He hasn't seen him yet. Bai Jinfu is afraid that he can't live alone, so he wants to find a bodyguard with high force value to accompany him to meet Ji Fengyao. Who else is there? More suitable than Jiang Shuheng?
Bai Jinfu patted Jiang Shuheng's shoulder affectionately, squinted his peach eyes, and smiled like a little fox, "As long as you accompany me, I will treat you to drink flower wine another day, and I will keep it to your heart's content!"
Jiang Shuheng almost laughed angrily, already thinking about coming again next time, but he is still addicted to drinking!
It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, if he stays any longer, this person may not be sure what kind of lust he will be.
Jiang Shuheng immediately threw down his wine glass, and pulled Bai Jin to help him out of Tianxianglou. On the way, Bai Jinfu was still trying to persuade Jiang Shuheng to accompany him to Lianhua Temple tomorrow, "Do you agree? If you don't like Tianxianglou, you want to go Wherever you say, I will accompany you!"
"Where else do you want to go?"
The two walked to the outside of Tianxiang Building, when a deep male voice suddenly sounded beside them.
Bai Jinfu turned his head to look, his scalp went numb, my God, why did Jing Yu appear here? !Immediately, there was a guilty feeling of skipping class and being caught by the dean, no, this is worse than skipping class, this is fucking prostitution!
When Jiang Shuheng saw Jing Yu, he reacted much faster than Bai Jinfu. He grabbed Bai Jinfu's arm and pushed him to Jing Yu's side. He pretended to be disturbed, clapped his hands and said, "Mr. You came at the right time, hurry up and take people back to discipline them, it is simply inappropriate."
Bai Jinfu stared at Jiang Shuheng with wide eyes in disbelief: "???" What a bitch, the villain will sue first!
The author has something to say:
Please leave a lot of comments to help vainly reach the moon list. Comments with more than 25 characters will randomly drop 30 red envelopes~ Please feed them with nutrient solution~
When they arrived at the gate of Ning'an Hou Mansion, Jiang Shuheng bid farewell to the two of them. Before leaving, he patted his horse and passed by Bai Jinfu. Taking advantage of Jingyu's inattention, he lowered his head and winked at Bai Jinfu twice, "Is that how we say it?"
Bai Jinfu nodded, "Yes."
They thought that Jing Yu hadn't noticed their little actions, but in fact Jing Yu had been watching their every move, but he didn't show his face.
Jiang Shuheng left, Bai Jinfu and Jing Yu walked to the mansion, and when they reached the fork in the road back to his residence, Bai Jinfu was about to say goodbye to Jing Yu, but Jing Yu suddenly said in a nonchalant way, "You can say hello to him. what?"
"What?" Bai Jinfu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Jing Yu must have heard the conversation he had just had with Jiang Shuheng, his eyes wandered for a while, and he quickly made up a reason to fool Jing Yu, "Oh, it's nothing, at the Bai Family University The general saved me once, and I plan to treat him to a drink someday to express my gratitude."
Jing Yu's gaze was fixed on Bai Jinfu's face, examining him, "That's all?"
Bai Jinfu blinked blankly, with an innocent expression on his face, "Otherwise, what else could there be?"
Jing Yu withdrew his gaze, turned sideways and said indifferently: "Jiang Shuheng is frivolous and rebellious. He has offended many people in Beijing. You should keep some distance from him."
"..." Bai Jinfu lowered his head and pinched his cuffs, "But he saved me after all, I just treated him to a drink, shouldn't it be fine?"
Jing Yu suddenly suggested, "I can thank him for you."
Bai Jinfu was stunned: "...Can you help with this kind of thing?"
Jing Yu is already helping Bai Jinfu to plan how to repay Jiang Shuheng's favor, "Gold, silver and jewelry will never be missing in the General's Mansion, and he won't like antique calligraphy and paintings, so I will ask someone to find two magical weapons Send it to his house, what do you think?"
Bai Jinfu didn't know what to say, so he coughed and said in a low voice, "You don't need it, Lord Hou, I know you did this for my own good, but I can't rely on you for everything, I always have My own interpersonal communication, and if I do so, it will appear very insincere, and the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by the spring, which is what you taught me."
Hearing that Bai Jinfu rejected his proposal, Jing Yu didn't say anything else. He has never been a person who likes to argue with others. His eyelashes drooped to hide the darkness in his eyes well, and he said softly: "Okay, what should I do?" You decide what to do, go back and have a good rest, I'm leaving."
Bai Jinfu looked at Jing Yu's leaving back, rubbed his eyes inexplicably, wondering, why did he have the feeling that Jing Yu was angry?
But who was he mad at, and why?
It can't be because of him, right?Impossible, obviously he has always been a good baby in front of Jing Yu.
So the illusion must be his illusion.
-
Early the next morning, Jing Yu was going to enter the palace to report to Emperor Longqing the result of his trip to Suzhou to find the whereabouts of the Seventh Prince.
But unexpectedly, when the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, Jing Yu ran into Han Yucheng as soon as he got off the horse.
The two saluted each other, and Han Yucheng was the first to say: "Is Marquis Ning An planning to enter the palace to tell the emperor that the Seventh Prince has been found?"
Jing Yu was not sure who was behind the scenes who blocked them from finding someone in Suzhou, but when he saw that Han Yucheng was waiting for him here today, he guessed eight out of ten in his heart, so he said without changing his face: "The news from the prime minister is indeed Well-informed."
Han Yucheng looked at Jing Yu with a half-smile and said, "If you were Hou Ye, you wouldn't be telling the emperor that the Seventh Prince is dead now."
Jing Yu put his sleeves on his back and said, "Why did the prime minister say that?"
Han Yucheng pondered and said: "There is still one month left before the deadline given by the emperor, and the Chinese New Year is about to come. Could it be that Lord Hou wants the emperor to spend this year immersed in the pain of losing a child? In my opinion, Anyway, this matter is already a dead end, it is better to let it go first, maybe things will turn for the better."
Jing Yu sneered slightly, pretending to be surprised and said: "It turns out that the Prime Minister is waiting here to explain the confusion to the Marquis."
"Don't take it as an answer, it's just words from the heart." Han Yucheng raised his hand with a smile, and waved it lightly, "Oh, by the way, I heard that Concubine Shu seems to be feeling a little unwell recently. If you are free, you can ask the order to go to the palace to visit Concubine Shu. The truth is that I have other political affairs to deal with, so I will take my leave first."
Jing Yu knew that Han Yucheng's visit was not kind, but he couldn't figure out why Han Yucheng wanted to prevent him from telling Emperor Longqing about the death of the seventh prince. What good would it do Han Yucheng?
But Han Yucheng really reminded him of one thing just now, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, if you go to Emperor Longqing rashly, disasters and fortunes will be unpredictable, why not consult with your aunt who understands Emperor Longqing's thoughts best first.
Jing Yu handed over a sign to enter the palace and asked to visit Concubine Shu. After two sticks of incense, the eunuch in Concubine Shu's palace came out to pick him up into the palace.
Concubine Shu Jing is Jing Yu's aunt. She became Emperor Longqing's side concubine when Emperor Longqing was still in his residence. Emperor Longqing valued it. Since the death of Empress Huiyuan, the affairs of the six palaces have been handed over to the noble concubine and Concubine Shu. However, Concubine Han has only been in the palace for ten years, so in this palace, Concubine Shu can be said to know Longqing best. God's people.
Arriving at Concubine Shu's Palace, after Jing Yu greeted Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu turned away the other palace people, leaving only an old lady who was her confidant to serve tea and talk to Jing Yu.
Concubine Shu waved her hand to signal Jing Yu to sit down, and asked with a smile, "Bofei, why are you free to come to my aunt today?"
Jing Yu first asked with concern: "How is your aunt these days?"
Concubine Shu smiled and said: "Everything is fine in this palace, I heard that you went to Suzhou a few days ago, how is it, is there any whereabouts of the Seventh Prince?"
Concubine Shu was in good health, and Han Yucheng was indeed cheating on him. Jing Yu's eyes flickered, and he told Concubine Shu with a normal face that a boy named Li Gan he found in Suzhou was probably the Seventh Prince. over again.
Concubine Shu was shocked when she heard that Li Qian had passed away ten years ago, she lowered her head and sighed quietly, her expression seemed unbearable, then she raised her head and said to Jing Yu: "It's a good thing Bofei, you didn't report to the emperor immediately. This matter. Recently the crown prince and king Lie led ministers to quarrel with each other because of different political views. The emperor is having a headache because of this matter. If you rush to tell the emperor that the seventh prince has passed away at this time, you will form an alliance with Baiyue If the matter is not resolved, it will only make the emperor even more furious."
Emperor Longqing was already over seventy years old. Although his body was still in good health, the older he got, the more he refused to accept his old age. As a result, his temper had become worse and worse in recent years, and his moods were unstable. Killing is also common.
Jing Yu's face was solemn, and he asked Concubine Shu: "According to my aunt, when is it appropriate to report this matter to the emperor?"
"If that child is really the Seventh Prince, then once he dies, you will not be able to complete this errand." Concubine Shu waved her hand, her eyes flashing shrewdly, "So I think it's not appropriate to tell the emperor the truth for the time being, why don't you Disclose the news privately to the Prince and King Lie first, and then wait and see what happens."
Jing Yu understands what Concubine Shu means. In the final analysis, this matter has the greatest relationship with the emperor's eldest grandson and King Lie. If the seventh prince cannot be found, they should be the most anxious. Since he is helpless, it is better to send the prince and King Lie Let's get into the water together, even if Emperor Longqing asks about it afterwards, these two people will act as a shield.
Jing Yu was a little hesitant, "But if you don't report what you know, you're deceiving the king..."
Concubine Shu raised her hands and covered her sleeves with a sneer, and looked at Jing Yu and said earnestly, "Bofei, you still don't know our emperor well enough. The emperor has everything going on every day, so why would you care about such a trivial matter? He wants you to find someone. When the time comes, you As long as the job is done by handing over the person to him, as for the process, those are not important, understand?"
Concubine Shu watched Jing Yu grow up since she was a child. The aunt and nephew love each other like mother and son. Of course, she can't harm Jing Yu.
Jing Yu made up his mind, stood up and thanked Concubine Shu, "Thank you for your advice, Auntie."
Concubine Shu waved her hand to tell him not to be too polite, she looked at him lovingly and said, "Just because you are too upright, it doesn't mean that it's not good, but now that the Crown Prince and the Lie Wang are fighting for power, and the party struggle is intensifying, our Hou Mansion can only protect ourselves wisely." For a while, I was afraid that you would suffer losses if you were caught in the middle, so I was really worried for you."
Jing Yu smiled lightly: "Aunt, don't worry too much. Jing Yu just doesn't want to do what I don't want to do in order to have a clear conscience, but it doesn't mean that I will let others take advantage of me. Please don't worry, aunt, as long as Jing Yu is around One day, no one can bully the Ning'an Houfu."
Concubine Shu nodded, and said approvingly: "It's good that you know it in your heart. By the way," Concubine Shu thought of something, and changed the subject, "The day before yesterday, Princess Dongyang came to the palace to visit the palace, and by the way, Princess Changle chose a son-in-law. Bofei, do you know that Princess Changle is interested in you?"
Jing Yu's expression remained unchanged, and he said indifferently, "I don't know."
Concubine Shu saw that his face was not happy at all, and she almost knew that Jing Yu didn't like Princess Changle, so she lowered her head and smiled and said, "Princess Dongyang originally wanted to ask the emperor to directly order you to marry Princess Changle." ..."
At this moment, Jing Yu's face changed drastically, and he stood up immediately, "No, aunt!"
"Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet." Concubine Shu looked at Jing Yu, who was reacting fiercely, with some surprise, "The emperor values our Hou Fu and you, so he didn't make an order immediately, let me come first." Let me ask you what you mean... Bofei, do you have someone in your heart?"
Jing Yu's expression returned to normal when he heard the words, and he denied, "Nothing."
Concubine Shu looked at Jing Yu nonchalantly, raised her eyebrows slightly, and didn't ask any questions, but she didn't believe it in her heart. She watched Jing Yu grow up and knew this nephew best.
Jing Yu has always kept himself clean, and he is not very keen on the affairs of men and women. Because he wants to be filial piety for the old Hou Ye, he has not discussed marriage until now. Concubine Shu once tried to ask Jing Yu about his thoughts on his marriage. Yes, as long as the girl is virtuous, other aunts can make decisions for him.
But Jing Yu's reaction just now was too abnormal. Dongyang Princess's Mansion and Ning'an Hou's Mansion are well matched, and Princess Changle is also a delicate and beautiful woman. This marriage can be said to be a match made in heaven. Concubine Shu really can't figure out why Jing Yu wants Refuse, unless he already has someone else in his heart.
Concubine Shu asked: "You have no one in your heart, so why don't you want to marry Princess Changle?"
Jing Yu couldn't think of any reason for a while, but there was a voice in his heart that kept shouting and rejecting, so he could only perfunctoryly say: "The daughter of the princess, I am neither considerate nor sensual, marrying me is only afraid of wronging her .”
"Who was wronged?" Concubine Shu chuckled, patted the stove in her hand, and said leisurely, "What about the princess, our lintel in Ning'an Hou's mansion is not low, let alone you are a famous young talent in the family, Do you know how many noble girls in the capital want to marry you? So, do you think this palace will believe you for this reason?"
Jing Yu's heart was in a mess, he couldn't figure out what to do for a while, he put his hands on his sides, lowered his head and remained silent.
"Forget it, I won't force you if you don't want to say it." Concubine Shu raised her hand and waved her sleeves, "I'm not a ruthless person either. If you have a girl you really like, when will you make up your mind to take her with you?" Come and meet me, if she is really a good girl, I can help you to ask the emperor to make decisions for you."
Jing Yu looked up at Concubine Shu gratefully and saluted with a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Auntie."
However, although Concubine Shu didn't ask Jing Yu face to face who the person in Jing Yu's heart was, but out of concern for Jing Yu, as soon as Jing Yu left the palace, she sent someone to Ning'an Hou Mansion to inquire about the situation from Mrs. Yang.
Mrs. Yang usually sees Jing Yu when Jing Yu comes to pay her respects. Of course she doesn't know when she asks, but she turns around and tells Wang Qiaoying about it. When Wang Qiaoying heard that Jing Yu had someone in her heart She suddenly felt that the sky was about to fall, so she turned her head and cried to find Jing Haoyuan, arguing and insisting that Jing Haoyuan go to help her find out who the charming girl who seduced Jing Yu was.
Jing Haoyuan was so annoyed by Wang Qiaoying that he could only agree, but even if he had the courage to ask Jing Yu directly, he thought of Bai Jinfu who was often with Jing Yu recently.
Ever since he tried to take advantage of Bai Jin's support twice, but was spoiled by the eldest grandson of the emperor and Jiang Shuheng one after another, and had to be punished by Jing Yu when he came back, Jing Haoyuan has restrained himself a lot. He was originally a playboy, and Bai Jin Although the tree is beautiful, there are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world. Since you can't get the white brocade tree, you should change it.
Jing Haoyuan sneaked into Bai Jinfu's yard while Jing Yu was out of the house during the day, and asked Bai Jinfu if he knew who Jing Yu was thinking about.
After hearing this, Bai Jinfu was skeptical, "You said Lord Hou has someone he likes?"
"Don't you know?" Seeing Bai Jinfu's bewildered expression, Jing Haoyuan asked strangely, "Aren't you very close to my elder brother?"
Bai Jinfu interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Where did you hear these gossips? Don't listen to the fact that the wind is the rain, it will ruin the reputation of Lord Hou."
"Of course I say that because I have the exact information. You still dare to question me." Jing Haoyuan "cut" dissatisfiedly, tapped his fingers on the table, and shook his head triumphantly, "To tell you the truth, this matter It was Concubine Shu in the palace, that is, my aunt sent someone to inform my mother, Concubine Shu said that Lord Hou admitted in front of her that he had someone he liked, but he didn't say who it was."
Bai Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, did Jing Yu really like someone?That's a happy event.
He tried his best to recall the women Jing Yu had been in contact with recently, and guessed, "Could it be Princess Changle?"
Jing Haoyuan said firmly, "Impossible!"
Bai Jinfu frowned, "Why is it impossible?"
Jing Haoyuan lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Tell you, don't spread it to the outside world. It is because of that woman that my brother refused to marry the princess of Changle, so how could it be the princess."
"..." Bai Jinfu spread out his hands to express his helplessness, "Then I really don't know who it is."
Jing Haoyuan rubbed his chin and said to himself: "You stayed with my brother every day, if you didn't even know, then who is this woman who can fascinate my brother? It's a great trick. "
Bai Jinfu was also aroused by Jing Haoyuan's words. It is not certain whether he will use any means or not, but there must be something extraordinary about a woman who can win the heart of a gentleman like Jing Yu.
In the evening, Bai Jinfu made an appointment with Jiang Shuheng for a drink. After dismissing Jing Haoyuan, he packed up and left the house. The location was fixed by Jiang Shuheng. When he got there, he saw that it was a brothel.
Jiang Shuheng was already inside, and the bustard took Bai Jinfu upstairs to a private room to find Jiang Shuheng, and saw Jiang Shuheng sitting in it, accompanied by a beauties on the left and right, one fed him wine, and the other fed him fruit , It's really a blessing.
The room was filled with the pungent scent of rouge and water powder. Bai Jinfu waved his sleeves in front of him, frowned at Jiang Shuheng, and said with disgust, "Why did you come to such a place?"
He was quite a decent person in Suzhou a few days ago, but when he returned to the capital, his nature was exposed, and he started to spend his days and nights like those dudes.
Jiang Shuheng raised his wine glass to his lips, and smiled generously, "What's the matter, you said you wanted to buy me a drink to thank me, do you feel bad about money when you come to this kind of place?"
"Is this a matter of money?" Bai Jinfu found a clean place to sit down, "You are also an official of the court after all, don't you know that officials are not allowed to have sex with prostitutes? If someone sees you, be careful that others will interfere with you."
"Then you should see who dares to control me." Jiang Shuheng sneered disdainfully, then pointed to Bai Jinfu and said to the beauty on the left, "You go and serve that young master."
Bai Jin quickly waved his hand, "No, I don't need anyone to wait on you, just enjoy yourself."
"You've come here and you're still pretending to be a serious person. Don't learn to be as confused as Jing Yu, you're almost a little old-fashioned." After Jiang Shuheng finished drinking, he threw the glass on the table and leaned back. On the soft pillow, she said lazily, "Tianxianglou is the most famous brothel in the capital. The girls here are the most gentle, considerate and understanding. Whether you like tall, short, fat, thin, sweet or spicy, There are all kinds of them, you just pick and choose.”
Bai Jinfu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thought of something, tilted his head and looked at Jiang Shuheng, "Really, there are all kinds of things?"
Jiang Shuheng thought that Bai Jinfu's heart was moved, so he sneered, showing an expression of "everyone is a man, I understand you".
Bai Jinfu asked: "Then what kind of girl do you like?"
"Me?" Jiang Shuheng was caught off guard by the question, and before his brain had time to think, he met Bai Jinfu's eyes and said, "I like...good-looking ones."
Bai Jinfu laughed at him: "Superficial."
Jiang Shuheng retorted, "You are not superficial, do you like ugly ones?"
Bai Jinfu snorted coldly, "I pay more attention to the inside."
After speaking, he was in a trance for a while, if it were Jing Yu, what kind of girl would he like?
Thinking of this, he stood up, opened the door and went out to call the old bustard, "Buddhist, please come and let me have a look at the most beautiful and talented girl in Tianxianglou."
Jing Yu must like this kind of woman who is both internal and external, talented and beautiful.
The old bustard flicked her handkerchief and said with a smile: "Yo! You are right, sir, we have more than one beautiful girl with a good literary talent in Xianglou today."
Bai Jinfu threw an ingot of silver to the bustard, and said briskly: "Then call them all over."
The old bustard took the money, smiled broadly, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay! I'll call the officer right away!"
Jiang Shuheng was stunned when he saw this. He originally wanted to tease Bai Jinfu. After all, Bai Jinfu usually looks quite innocent, but he didn't expect that Bai Jinfu's appetite suddenly grew when he came here. He didn't think one was enough, so he wanted to call a group ?
Now Jiang Shuheng was not happy anymore, waved his hands to let the beauties on both sides go away, stood up and walked to Bai Jinfu, and asked calmly, "Why do you call so many girls?"
"Play." After Bai Jinfu finished speaking, he felt ambiguous, and then explained, "I didn't mean to play with girls, but to let girls come and play with us."
Jiang Shuheng raised his eyebrows, "Is there a difference between the two?"
Bai Jinfu waved his hand, "I'm too lazy to tell you, didn't you just tell me to let go and stop pretending to be prudish? How much do you call me now?"
Jiang Shuheng was out of breath, "Bai, Jin, Fu!"
Seeing that the bustard had brought a group of colorfully dressed girls over, Bai Jinfu mercilessly pushed Jiang Shuheng away, "Don't make noise, the girl is here! Don't delay me seeing the girl!"
Jiang Shuheng was pushed aside, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he felt as if he had lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot.
Seeing Bai Jinfu's lavish hands and face, the old bustard thought she was being taken advantage of, and called over a dozen girls at once, crowded the room, and stepped forward to salute Bai Jinfu one by one.
Bai Jinfu sat in front with his knees bent, looked at these girls with his chin in his hands, and secretly evaluated in his heart, this one is too contrived, that one is too coquettish, this one looks like scheming green tea, that one must be white lotus... no matter which one looks like Not the type that Jing Yu would like.
After seeing more than a dozen beauties, Bai Jinfu yawned boredly, then turned to look at Jiang Shuheng, "Didn't you say that there are all kinds of girls here?"
Jiang Shuheng watched Bai Jinfu look at the girl from the sidelines the whole time. The one who was so focused didn't even blink his eyes. The unknown fire in his heart was about to burst into his throat. With a sneer, he said sarcastically, "What? There are so many of them, and you still don't think you can see enough?"
Bai Jinfu thought that it was Jiang Shuheng who was disturbed by him so he didn't have a good time today, so he was unhappy, so he first gave the old bustard a silver coin and told her to take all the girls out, then poured two glasses of wine, and brought a glass to Jiang Shuheng, winking and fawning Looking at Jiang Shuheng, he said, "General, can you do me a favor?"
Jiang Shuheng took the wine and frowned, "What's the matter?"
Bai Jin helped and said, "I want to go to Lianhuaguan tomorrow, why don't you go with me?"
Jiang Shuheng was puzzled, "Why do you need someone to accompany you when you go to Lianhua Temple?"
It's not because there is an old monster in Lianhua Temple.
Now Ji Fengyao is the only one left among the few scumbags. He hasn't seen him yet. Bai Jinfu is afraid that he can't live alone, so he wants to find a bodyguard with high force value to accompany him to meet Ji Fengyao. Who else is there? More suitable than Jiang Shuheng?
Bai Jinfu patted Jiang Shuheng's shoulder affectionately, squinted his peach eyes, and smiled like a little fox, "As long as you accompany me, I will treat you to drink flower wine another day, and I will keep it to your heart's content!"
Jiang Shuheng almost laughed angrily, already thinking about coming again next time, but he is still addicted to drinking!
It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, if he stays any longer, this person may not be sure what kind of lust he will be.
Jiang Shuheng immediately threw down his wine glass, and pulled Bai Jin to help him out of Tianxianglou. On the way, Bai Jinfu was still trying to persuade Jiang Shuheng to accompany him to Lianhua Temple tomorrow, "Do you agree? If you don't like Tianxianglou, you want to go Wherever you say, I will accompany you!"
"Where else do you want to go?"
The two walked to the outside of Tianxiang Building, when a deep male voice suddenly sounded beside them.
Bai Jinfu turned his head to look, his scalp went numb, my God, why did Jing Yu appear here? !Immediately, there was a guilty feeling of skipping class and being caught by the dean, no, this is worse than skipping class, this is fucking prostitution!
When Jiang Shuheng saw Jing Yu, he reacted much faster than Bai Jinfu. He grabbed Bai Jinfu's arm and pushed him to Jing Yu's side. He pretended to be disturbed, clapped his hands and said, "Mr. You came at the right time, hurry up and take people back to discipline them, it is simply inappropriate."
Bai Jinfu stared at Jiang Shuheng with wide eyes in disbelief: "???" What a bitch, the villain will sue first!
