Powerful ministers are husbands

The day passed without any surprises, and there were only two days left before arranging a meeting between King Yan's old department and Cao Zheng.

But Xue Jinyi didn't know that his chance was only two days away.

Early in the morning, he took advantage of the time when the shop waiter went to deliver breakfast to Zhang Mu, and looked in through the open door. He saw Zhang Mu sitting in front of the window in neat clothes, looking radiant and in good spirits. Had a good night's sleep.

Xue Jinyi was amazed and rubbed his tired eyes twice.

Dark night is the most ingenious and simple disguise, so it is difficult to guarantee that someone will come here to join in the dark, so he stayed up all night, wishing he could stare at the closed courtyard without blinking.

"It's delicious and rich." Xue Jinyi leaned on the pillar outside the door, and said lazily to the shop waiter who came out, "Please prepare a copy for me, too, but each dish is less. There is a flood, we can't waste food."

"Okay, guest officer, please wait a moment!" The shop waiter ran downstairs with a "thump thump thump".

Xue Jinyi looked at the indifferent Zhang Mu with some disappointment.Anyway, he came from the residence of the Marquis of Jiyang. He knew that there was a flood and famine in the south of the Yangtze River. For the sake of knowing each other, he should have invited him to have breakfast together to save food, right?

"Hey..." He sighed, walked back and forth three times at the door, watched Zhang Mu eating breakfast deliciously, and when the waiter brought the breakfast, Zhang Mu had already eaten most of it with gusto. It only made Xue Jinyi feel so hungry that he could eat breakfast for three people by himself.

"Guest officer, don't you still eat? The meat buns don't taste good when they're cold." When the waiter went upstairs for the third time, he saw Xue Jinyi sitting on the railing, dangling his legs boredly, and the door was still open to him. It looked like it was wide open when it was time, the food on the table was not moved, and the porridge was no longer steaming.

Xue Jinyi jumped down from the railing, staring fixedly at the waiter.

The waiter was shocked by his focused eyes, and backed away again and again, not noticing the stairs behind him for a while, and Xue Jinyi held his waist in time at the moment his feet stepped on the empty space.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" The shop waiter thanked repeatedly, "Master, you are really a good person."

"I, yes, yes, man." Xue Jinyi said to himself, his eyes bright, "That's right, I am a good man, there is no reason for a good man not to win..." He clenched his fists, as if he was full of hope for the future again. Confidence, he patted the waiter on the shoulder hard, "Listen, help me prepare these dishes..."

He whispered something to the waiter, as if he was afraid of being heard by the people in the room, and finally gave the waiter a small piece of silver.

The waiter in the shop happily went downstairs with the broken silver in his hands.

After Zhang Mu had breakfast, he sat behind the curtain by the window, with a teacup and teapot by his hand, and continued to monitor the small courtyard.It was very quiet all around, and occasionally I heard the sound of "clacking" in the chicken coop in Chunfenglou, as well as the chatter and laughter of men and women.

The days in the imperial capital are always so calm and peaceful under the sunny weather.

Just when there was a lot of tranquility, a cry of "they" suddenly sounded from the next room.

The scream seemed to have witnessed something shocking and extraordinary. Zhang Mu immediately grabbed the saber, rushed out, and kicked open the door of the next room, only to see Xue Jinyi standing by the window, his eyes widened with fear. Open, the mouth grows too big.The door was knocked open and made a loud noise, but it didn't attract his attention, which was enough to show that the matter was serious.

"They acted?!" Zhang Mu asked.

"Ah?" Xue Jinyi looked at Zhang Mu who suddenly appeared in surprise, and then pointed to the corner next to the cabinet under the inquiring eyes of the other party, "It's too shameless in broad daylight."

Zhang Mu looked along the fingers, and saw two dingy mice overlapping each other.

"..." Zhang Mu had nothing to say.

Xue Jinyi hurriedly said: "There are still two males..." He raised his head and realized that Zhang Mu had lost his expression, "Ah, I'm sorry, I made you worry, it's my fault."

Zhang Mu turned to leave, but Xue Jinyi jumped over to block his way.

"What?" Zhang Mu asked, looking over Xue Jinyi's shoulder.

"I'm sorry to disturb you." Xue Jinyi rubbed his hands, "The lunch I prepared is about to be delivered. Can you do me a favor and stay to eat together? You see, the floods and famines in the south of the Yangtze River, we have to be good Save food, right?"

Zhang Mu crossed his arms, dangling his sword in front of Xue Jinyi, "The flood and famine in the south of the Yangtze River have been successfully resolved under the auspices of King Yan."

"Uh..." Xue Jinyi was annoyed that he was too ill-informed, but he would not give up easily. In the blink of an eye, he had already cleverly avoided the tables and chairs and retreated to the window, pushed the window open, and then smiled. Looking at Zhang Mu, "Look, how about we watch those two while eating together? Hey, what's the matter with your questioning and distrustful eyes?"

Zhang Mu ignored him and went straight to the door.

Xue Jinyi sighed and explained: "Although I may look like this or that in the eyes of others... But Mrs. Cao Shao's elder brother Pang Miao met me, so friends should treat each other wholeheartedly and help each other selflessly. It's not good for the Pang family, it's reasonable that my friend can't stand it and come to help, don't you have to doubt me anymore?"

"If I doubt it, you will definitely not be here now." Zhang Mu finally spoke.

Xue Jinyi smiles and builds trust, which is a key step towards success.He added: "Why don't you tell me about the situation of monitoring those two people? What is Mrs. Cao's plan? You see, it's good for you to have me as a helper. People are not made of stone, and there will always be people." When you're tired."

Zhang Mu stopped before the threshold.

"Eh?!" Xue Jinyi saw the hope of changing his mind in an instant, and was immediately enraged.

"Thank you, thank you." Zhang Mu made way sideways, the waiter holding the lacquer plate nodded his thanks, and walked into the room in a hurry.When the people passed by, Zhang Mu left without looking back.

The bright candlelight in my heart was swept by a gust of wind, and even the light smoke dissipated in the blink of an eye after being extinguished.

"Guest officer, you have a really good appetite." The waiter put five plates of meat dishes on the table, and said with a smile: "The dishes are all served, please eat slowly."

The door was gently closed, and the candlestick in Xue Jinyi's heart completely collapsed. He sat down helplessly, with one foot on the chair, silently touching his chin, thinking about his next plan.

After a while, there was chatter and laughter outside, and then someone called Xue Jinyi's name.

"Here, here." Xue Jinyi cheered up, walked over to open the door, and welcomed three friends in.When several people saw the rich food and wine, they laughed loudly again.

"Brother Xue, you are so kind, did you expect us to come?"

"The dishes are not bad, they are all the best dishes that Chunfenglou can offer."

"You made it easy for us to find, and now we are not polite to you anymore?"

The three of them sat down to drink and eat, and they were not polite to Xue Jinyi.And Xue Jinyi didn't care, he let them eat, drink, talk and laugh.

"Xue Jinyi, what's wrong with you recently?" Chen Yun in blue put down his wine glass, and looked curiously at the person who had been looking out the window, "You've always been the one who can eat and drink the most, why don't you leave the delicious food alone today? I said You, don't you still miss Pang Miao?"

"Hmm—" Zeng Xu swallowed hard and wiped his plump lips, "I haven't heard from Pang Miao for a long time. No one knows which barren mountains and wild mountains he went to look for ancient sites. Anyway, he's not here. The imperial capital is right."

"When did you and Pang Miao meet?" Zhu Yun asked curiously, scratching his temples a few times, trying to remember, "I don't remember that we met him? If it weren't for your diligent running to Pang's house , we paid attention to inquire about Pang Miao's news, but after a tortuous inquiring for a long time, we heard from two poor scholars that he hadn't shown up for a while."

Xue Jinyi didn't answer, and tapped the window lattice with his right index finger once and for all, like a monk who was chanting scriptures without desires.

The three of them looked at each other, put down their cups and chopsticks, and surrounded them.

"You don't really like Pang Miao, do you?" Zhu Yun asked in surprise, "You miss him so much?"

"No, I used to be more just curious..."

Several people laughed "hehe", but this situation was expected, Zhu Yun then joked: "Oh, our Young Master Xue has really good vision, Pang Miao is a Jinshi, and his brother-in-law is a dignified left guard general. Woolen cloth."

Xue Jinyi waved his hand, "Stop making trouble, stop making trouble, the person I like lives next door." He pointed to the wall behind him, "As soon as I saw him, I thought he was good, and his martial arts were high, and he was cold Difficult to approach, very difficult to make friends with, this is what I like."

"Oh?" Zeng Xu glanced at the calligraphy and painting on the wall, grinned, and nudged the other two brothers with his elbow, "Come on, let's go and see who Master Xue is looking for. Hehehe Don't worry, Jin Yi, we are going to create opportunities for you!" After finishing speaking, the three rushed towards the door in a swarm.

"Wait a minute, he's from General Cao's mansion." Xue Jinyi hurriedly stopped him. Judging by Zhang Mu's personality, he must hate being harassed. Now he is in the period of increasing his favorability, so he must not make mistakes.

When he said those words, the three of them stopped at the same time, looked at each other sadly, and beat the palms of their hands with folding fans.

"Since it belongs to General Cao's residence..."

"Let's keep our distance."

"Yes, I agree."

The three returned to the table at the same time, continuing to drink as if nothing had happened.

Xue Jinyi shook his head and continued to look out the window.

Lao Ding and Dao Scarface were still sitting peacefully in the yard, eating the meals brought by Manager Tong.
