Su Shaoying said awkwardly: "Then what, Brother Yan, can't I come to visit you?" Well, he didn't believe it himself, so he could only tell the truth: "I lost track of Junior Sister Sun."
"She didn't leave a message for you? So, it's all your wishful thinking that you are worried about your sister's loss, and she doesn't know?" Yan Lide asked angrily.
"No, of course junior sister also cares about me. It's just that Ximen Chuuxue is on the cusp of the storm. She has become Ximen Chuuxue's weakness. Naturally, she must protect herself to protect Ximen Chuuxue. My identity is also sensitive. How many people are looking at me, trying to follow the vine? , find junior sister, and threaten Ximen Chuuxue. I heard that these days, people who bet on the battle between Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng in the capital gambling shop are almost flooding the gambling shop. There are not a few people who invest in it, so be careful." There are countless people in the world who kill people for money, let alone this time it is a major event related to their own wealth.
"I only care about whether the two of you are connected or not. Don't just "you care about me, I care about you", it's all in my heart." Yan Lide complained expressionlessly.
"Ahem, big brother is always so sharp." Su Shaoying took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to Yan Lide: "This is a letter from Junior Sister Sun to me."
Yan Lide glanced at the letter, and said: "She is still sensible. Huh, you came to me, didn't you just lose her whereabouts? Don't worry, the capital is under the surveillance of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and I will find her. "It doesn't matter if Ximen Chuuxue's hidden skills are so profound. Yan Lide remembers that the place is called Hefangzhai, which is a pastry shop. People's memory is so strange. They selectively remember the parts that interest them the most. The first time they heard When telling this story, Yan Lide thought it was the name of a brothel.
Sun Shaoying took back the letter and put it away. In the letter, Junior Sister Sun explained the ins and outs of her marriage to Ximen Chuuxue, and Dugu Yihe didn't dislike the marriage as much as they thought.It's just that Ximen Chuuxue and Dugu Yihe are both top swordsmen in the world, and one day they will meet each other in battle. They will not feel pity, but will only tremble with excitement.Others can't understand the idea of martyrdom for martial arts and swordsmanship, they only know that the two relatives are facing each other.After all, Dugu Yihe is older, has experienced complicated experiences, and has a more insightful understanding of human relationships and the world. He is afraid that his apprentice will be in a dilemma after he gets married.
Sun Xiuqing is also worthy of being a person in the Jianghu. He has accepted the concept of the supremacy of martial arts since he was a child, and it will not prevent the two masters from fighting each other.She is a chivalrous woman who can live independently. She can guarantee her own safety and raise her children to grow up safely.
"Hey, Big Brother Yan, Big Brother, just take me in. Now that so many people are pouring into the capital, housing prices are soaring, and ruined temples are full. If you don't take me in, I really want to sleep on the streets." Su Shaoying pretended to be pitiful. .
"My status in Beijing is sensitive, and I am not allowed to bring people from the Jianghu into the mansion, not under any circumstances." Yan Lide can only tell this.
"Don't worry, I promise not to be noticed!" Su Shaoying said with her chest out.
"If you want to lie to the world, you must at least have a source. I think the name Su Shaoqing should be used. You are a student who is going to Beijing to rush for the exam. First go to the Shanxi Guild Hall and then come to my house." An exam candidate is not in Jianghu within human attention.
Su Shaoying had a bitter face, he was determined to discard the vest of the "manly yellow" joke, why would he come out of the arena again.Seeing Yan Lide's face that could not be refused, the forced Su Shaoying nodded with tears.
All it said was to inquire about the other party's current situation, it was impossible for Yan Lide not to take him in; Su Shaoying also knew very well, otherwise he would not have gone straight to Yan's mansion as soon as he entered Beijing, there is a courtyard reserved for him here.
After the matter was settled, Su Shaoying tilted his head and asked, "Brother, you don't seem to like Junior Sister Sun."
"Is there?" Yan Lide refused to admit it.
"Yes! It's obvious. You and Junior Sister Sun shouldn't have met each other. Did someone slander you in front of you?" Su Shaoying is a qualified senior brother who is very close to his brothers and sisters.
"Hmm... I think she's not filial enough to the Gu family, she's too helpful for Ximen Chuuxue, she only cares about her own feelings." Yan Lide thought to himself, Ximen Chuuxue killed you, killed Dugu Yihe and Sun Xiuqing and insisted on marrying him, these things can't be done Said.
"Hahahaha..." Su Shaoying laughed loudly, clutching her belly and said, "Oh, brother, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful! I knew that brother is a sincere gentleman, but I didn't expect you to be so rigid!"
Su Shaoying laughed so hard that tears came out, "Junior Sister Sun is a girl~ I want to marry a good husband, what's wrong with being a husband and raising children, Ximen Chuuxue is a good candidate, with high martial arts, rich family resources, and good character. As for filial piety, How can people in the Jianghu pay attention to this? Master has three of our senior brothers and a few younger sisters to accompany him. This year, Junior Sister Sun has a lot of rituals and birthday gifts. She has always been respectful to her master. yes."
Yan Lide was startled, yes, when it comes to retirement, it is the matter of senior brother Yan Renying, the strictest etiquette at this time only requires Sun Xiuqing to treat Dugu Yihe respectfully and politely, she will be another family member after she gets married.Yan Lide thought to himself, why would he be so harsh on a girl, demanding her with a high moral standard that she had never come into contact with.Just because the "original book" Dugu Yihe and Su Shaoying died at the hands of Ximen Chuuxue, did she still get married?But none of this happened!Even in the time and space when these things happened, Sun Xiuqing's actions did not cause waves in the Jianghu. People in the Jianghu pay attention to love and hatred, move their hearts freely, stay together if they like it, and separate if they don't like it. Those confidantes like Lu Xiaofeng are also Would it be possible that the daughter of a good family would seek life and death because of her chastity, or would she not marry Lu Xiaofeng for a while?nothing!
Yan Lide smiled wryly, one world has the moral standards of another world, how could he have such a strange idea to measure Gu Long's romantic free will with Jin Yong's theory of responsibility.Yan Lide vaguely remembered someone criticizing Sun Xiuqing for not being a filial piety, and when Dugu Yihe's body was still cold, she married the murderer who killed her master and senior brother.Now that I think about it, Dugu Yihe died in a decisive battle, even though he died, he was honorable, he sought benevolence, as a disciple who knew him well, why should he resent his opponent.The logic of people in the rivers and lakes is completely different from the logic of people in officialdom.
His mind changed sharply, Yan Lide thought clearly in a moment, nodded and admitted: "I misunderstood her, I will pay attention to her and Ximen Chuuxue's whereabouts."
Then Su Shaoying lived in the Yan Mansion with peace of mind, and walked around the Shanxi Guild Hall under the cover of "Su Shaoqing", but did not attract attention.The students living in the guild hall also heard about the large-scale gathering of Jianghu people, and they were very indignant about the two swordsmen's martial arts competition in the Fengtian Hall, which is the symbol of the majesty of the country. Everyone knows the saying that "a scholar meets a soldier, and it's hard to explain without reason." Everyone who can be admitted to Juren is not a fool.
That's good, it didn't waste Yan Lide's good intention of sending someone to preach to the scholars. It was very difficult for Daming to train a scholar, and he had reached the level of juren, and he was accidentally killed by Jianghu people, what a waste.It is also easy to provoke a fight between the two parties and bring trouble to him who is in charge of the security of the capital.
The decisive battle was rescheduled to August [-]th, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was difficult for many people.Those who have a bad life are big people, and the people at the bottom are very happy. The people in the capital have made a lot of money during this time. When there are too many people, they want money for eating, drinking and drinking. If you vacate a room in your house, you can collect money. How wonderful buy and sell.There are also government inspections, and people in the Jianghu dare not bully others, and they can feel at ease when they make money.For a moment, the capital entered a strange calm, and everyone restrained their actions, for fear of becoming the first bird.
At night, Yan Lide was reviewing official documents in his study, when he suddenly heard a sharp whistle, he opened the window and saw that it was Lu Xiaofeng who was chased away in the dark night!
"Back off!" Yan Lide yelled, and the guards backed down.
Lu Xiaofeng wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and jumped out from the siege of the crossbow team.Ever since the first battle at the Pingnan Palace, Lu Xiaofeng has known the power of bows and crossbows. The palaces of high officials in the court are all equipped with such guards, so Lu Xiaofeng does not hesitate to use himself as an example to warn people in the world not to break into the palaces of high officials in the court. This is not them Can touch.
"Lu Xiaofeng, Lu Xiaofeng, why can't you change your habit of being a thief. Are you unwilling to be shot into a hedgehog when you climb over the wall in the middle of the night?" Yan Lide laughed.
Lu Xiaofeng jumped in from the window, sat down on the thief, and said: "That's because I know Brother Yan is very tolerant, and he won't argue with Lu Xiaofeng." Lu Xiaofeng is a self-acquainted, poured himself, and drank up the pot of tea in the study .
"What's the matter?" Yan Lide asked straight to the point, with his friendship with Lu Xiaofeng, he didn't go to the point of visiting late at night.
"Brother Yan is a discerning person, so how could he not know Lu Xiaofeng's situation. At Chunhua Restaurant today, Brother Yan's subordinates made a big splash. Lu Xiaofeng was entrusted by Du Tongxuan's family to return his body." Lu Xiaofeng touched Xiaofeng helplessly. beard.
"Du Tongxuan's body is involved in a murder case, so we can't give it now. When the case is cleared, it will naturally be returned to the family." Yan Lide refused, and the court has its own procedures for investigating the case.
Today in Chunhua Restaurant, a white horse carrying Du Tongxuan's body suddenly appeared. Even Jinyiwei and Dongchang were caught off guard. A group of subordinates who had been beaten in the face were gearing up to get back to the place. As the leader, Yan Lide could not dampen the enthusiasm of his subordinates.Besides, what happened today was not only the fact that Du Tongxuan's body stood out in the downtown area, but more importantly, one of the two swordsmen who had been in hiding finally showed his face.Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, covered the ground with flowers, and his wonderful voice opened the way. He appeared like a god of the nine heavens, killed the people in the Tang Sect, and defeated the rumors that Ye Gucheng was injured in the rivers and lakes in one fell swoop, adding countless confidence to the gamblers who bet on him to win.
Ye Gucheng came faster and left faster, so he didn't know that there would be an official sent to investigate in the follow-up, accusing the restaurant owner of destroying environmental sanitation.The restaurant owner argued that it was left by the guests, and the officials didn't believe it. Even the princess would not be so fancy when traveling these days. It could only be a means for the restaurant owner to attract customers.The restaurant was ordered to rectify and clean up the street in front of the gate.To be able to open a restaurant in the capital, you have some background. Others are surprised to see the boss obediently arrange for people to clean up. They don’t know that the imperial court has strict management on shops, and there are many details. If you don’t follow the rules, you will be cleared out. Do business in the capital.
People all over the world looked at the scene of sweeping the petals in the restaurant, feeling embarrassed, why is this painting style so strange.
That's why Lu Xiaofeng doesn't like to deal with people in the government, it's always so old-fashioned and boring. "Brother Yan, can't you accommodate me?"
"I'm in charge of public security in the capital. I'll accommodate Lu Xiaofeng today and Lu Dafeng tomorrow. How can I obey the public?" Yan Lide's position is not only monitored by Mou Bin, but also closely watched by Xie Qian, who is not at odds with him, so there can be no mistakes.Not only did he pay attention to himself, but Yan Lide also made repeated orders to his subordinates. Whoever dared to break the precept would make him "jointly and severally liable". Yan Lide didn't mind killing relatives righteously in advance.
"I thought we were friends." Lu Xiaofeng started to play the emotional card.
"So, I have given you preferential treatment. Are you honored to enter the Yan Mansion without being shot into a hedgehog, and to be treated with good tea?"
Lu Xiaofeng sighed, what an honor.
Yan Lide quickly wrote a warrant, stamped it with a big seal and handed it to Lu Xiaofeng, saying: "Warrant, you can enter and leave the gates of the inner and outer cities at will without the prohibition, you can discuss with the yamen to examine Du Tongxuan's body, the government will give you a certain cooperation .How, are you enough friends?"
Lu Xiaofeng quickly took it, and said with a smile, "Thank you, thank you."
"I wonder if Brother Yan has any news about Ximen Chuuxue or Yechengzhu?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
"Keep an inch, huh?" Yan Lide raised his chin and glanced at the warrant in Lu Xiaofeng's hand.
"Brother Yan is well-informed, if Lu Xiaofeng doesn't ask you, who do you ask? If Brother Yan is sent in the future, Lu Xiaofeng will never refuse." Lu Xiaofeng is also blind. He came to the capital to prevent two friends from confronting swords, and ended up breaking one of them.But when they arrived in the capital, they didn't even catch anyone, so they were busy investigating the killing of gamblers headed by Li Yanhua and Du Tongxuan.Ye Gucheng showed up today to see him, but his lightness kung fu was superb, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't keep up, so he could only ask Yan Lide for help.
"Generally speaking, I hope that someone who goes up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of fire is someone else, not my friend." Yan Lide said softly, and a plain sentence coaxed Lu Xiaofeng to smile. "So, you have no possibility of running around for me, and I don't have to answer your questions. Lu Xiaofeng, please—"
Yan Lide pointed to the direction of the door and told him to go through the main door.
Even Lu Xiaofeng is not so thick-skinned as the master sees off the guests. Yan Lide is not a gentle scholar, Lu Xiaofeng is deeply afraid that Yan Lide will greet him with the bow and crossbow team again.
Although Yan Lide knew the location of Ximen Chuuxue, he could only focus on testing the strength of the Eighteen Guards of Yanyun, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei, so he deliberately didn't say anything.In the end, Yan Yi and Liu Jin sent news at the same time, saying that they had found Ximen Chuuxue's whereabouts.Yan Lide was very proud. With the cooperation of him and Liu Jin, Jin Yiwei's control over the capital was indeed relaxed.
Yan Lide invited Su Shaoying to come, and said: "Ximen Chuixue placed Sun Xiuqing in Hefangzhai, a pastry shop in the south of the city. It is a century-old shop and the stronghold of Wanmei Villa."
"Right now, Ximen Chuixue is stared at by countless pairs of eyes. It's not good to just go there. Why don't you help me and ask if it's appropriate?" Su Shaoying was dressed in a scholarly gown, holding a folding fan, and dressed like a standard scholar.
Yan Lide wrote to Ximen Chuuxue, Sun Xiuqing was pregnant and running around, and her husband was facing a life-and-death battle, feeling depressed, and relatives could help her, Ximen Chuuxue agreed to visit her.At this time, Ximen Chuuxue is still a man who has fallen in love. He practiced ruthless swordsmanship, and he was born into the world.Ximen Chuuxue has not yet become a god, and he still has the soft heart of a mortal.
On the holiday, Yan Lide took his distant cousin Su Shaoqing to Hefangzhai to buy pastries.Hefangzhai takes the path of small profits but high sales. It is a century-old shop. Although the pastries taste good, they are all high-end goods, which is different from the restaurants in Beijing and Zhongzhong that mainly focus on expensive pastries.But no matter what kind of shop, if you meet a high-ranking official like Yan Lide, you will always respectfully invite him to the private room to rest.Hefangzhai only takes out food, and there is no private room for guests to rest, so the staff led people to the backyard.
The backyard of Hefangzhai is narrow and adjacent to the dark ditch, passing through the rockery built on the dark ditch of the sewer, there is another world.
Ximen Chuuxue was sitting on a stone bench in the yard wiping his sword, and Sun Xiuqing greeted her excitedly with her pregnant belly.
"Junior Sister, are you okay?" Su Shaoying watched Sun Xiuqing coming up, but took two steps back, wanted to see but felt impolite, wanted to touch but didn't dare, pregnant woman is too fragile, Su Shaoying didn't dare to get too close.
"Very good, the child is very well-behaved." Sun Xiuqing stroked her stomach and smiled softly, exuding a strong maternal radiance. Ximen Chuuxue was also infected by such a smile, and slowly lowered her long sword.
"Master Ximen doesn't mind having one more person come to visit you?" Yan Lide asked.
Ximen Chuuxue turned his head to the direction of the uninvited guest, a group of birds fluttered away from the tree in the courtyard, Lu Xiaofeng jumped down from the tree like another big bird, somehow he managed to control the birds and let them stop Do not move.
As soon as Lu Xiaofeng landed on the ground, he immediately raised his hands and said: "Brother Yan, I really didn't mean to follow you. As soon as I went out today, I found that you and Brother Su had arrived at Hefangzhai. It was really a coincidence that we met on the way."
Lu Xiaofeng was just about to swear, but the more he said it, the more he seemed to be lying. Is this true?Lu Xiaofeng was about to cry, Yan Lide didn't have much friendship with him, and then he found himself following him, people in the officialdom are most taboo about these things, so he exploded on the spot.
Things were not as bad as Lu Xiaofeng thought, Yan Lide was used to the "leader's halo", Lu Xiaofeng often solved cases with an element of luck, who said he was God's own son?
"En." Yan Lide nodded to indicate that he heard it, but did not respond, and then said to Ximen Chuuxue: "Junxiu's ruthless sword?"
"Yes." Ximen Chuuxue was most proud of his kendo.
"But you are sympathetic, your sword is slow." Yan Lide pointed out mercilessly again, while Sun Xiuqing also turned pale.In the fight between masters, the difference is a thousand miles away, and the sword is slow, and the life is gone.
"Hefangzhai is not safe. I came to Dongchang to find out the news. Lu Xiaofeng also came here. Here..." Yan Lide looked around. This is a small courtyard built by using blind spots and back street corners. There are only three houses. , a narrow small courtyard, only a few big trees can be seen from the outside, which is why the small courtyard has existed for many years and has not been discovered.Yan Lide confirmed: "This place is not suitable for pregnant women to raise babies."
"Brother Yan, what do you mean?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
"You can go to my house, there is an imperial doctor, a steady wife, and a maid." Yan Lide promoted.
Ximen Chuuxue cast his eyes on Sun Xiuqing, he knew what Yan Lide said was right, but he wasn't sure what Sun Xiuqing thought.
Sun Xiuqing caressed her belly and said firmly, "I want to stay with you."
"But you will become his weakness and weakness." Yan Lide pointed out mercilessly.
"Junior Sister, let's go to Yan's Mansion. Master is on his way. He will probably arrive today or tomorrow, so you should go back to your mother's house for two days." Su Shaoying really cared about Sun Xiuqing.
"No, I want to stay and guard him." Sun Xiuqing walked slowly to Ximen Chuuxue, held his hand and said, "If you win, I will wait for you here; if you lose, I will collect the corpse for you. I will protect myself, and I will also use a sword!"
"Oh, since Mrs. Sun wants to stay, let's stay. Lu Xiaofeng has no other skills, but he can always protect someone, Simon, do you believe me?" Lu Xiaofeng interrupted the solemn atmosphere, winking exaggeratedly.In fact, Lu Xiaofeng was a little worried. At a time when everyone was inquiring about the whereabouts of Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng, Yan Lide suddenly wanted to take Ximen Chuuxue's family into the mansion. It seemed strange. Yan Lide had never pretended to Sun Xiuqing before.Lu Xiaofeng has come into contact with too many conspiracies. Although he has no intention of harming others, he must be cautious. He habitually thought about it.
If Yan Lide knew, he would definitely laugh at him for treating the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Yan Lide suddenly became kind, but it was just compensation, compensation for his misunderstanding of Sun Xiuqing for so long.
Although Su Shaoying cared about her junior sister, she was a man after all, so she could only say a few words of concern. Seeing that Sun Xiuqing had made up her mind, she didn't force her, she just said: "I will come to see you often."
"No need." Ximen Chuuxue flatly refused, not giving the uncle any face.
"The situation is tense. You live in the Yan Mansion. There are no people in the world paying attention, and there are also people from the court watching. Don't give them more eyes, just pretend that you don't know. Today we are only here to buy pastries." Yan Lide understood The meaning of Ximen Chuuxue.
Having said all that needs to be said, Yan Lide got up and said: "In that case, we will take our leave and not see you off."
"Wait..." Sun Xiuqing stopped them, and said guiltily, "Master will go to Beijing soon, but I can't accept Huan Huan's knees. It's really unfilial. I made some sets of clothes for Master. Brother, help me take them back."
"I'll go in with you to clean up." Su Shaoying looked at the three people in the courtyard, and felt that she should avoid it.
There was silence in the small courtyard, Ximen Chuuxue continued to polish his sword, Lu Xiaofeng, who loves the most active atmosphere, also drank wine every now and then, Yan Lide was watching his nose, nose, nose and heart, looking like an old monk in meditation, waiting quietly Su Shaoying came back.
Yan Lide's attitude towards the decisive battle is not much different from that of ordinary people in the court. This time he came to show his favor, one is to thank Ximen Chuuxue for giving him the sword during his engagement, and the other is to compensate Sun Xiuqing. Both of them refused, and Yan Lide was not cold Face sticking hot ass hobby.
....................................
Su Shaoying took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and tasted it with relish, and said, "There are sweet-scented osmanthus flowers now? You also put so much effort into making the pastry. It is indeed a century-old shop."
Yan Lide took out a piece, tasted it, and said, "The sweet-scented osmanthus sauce that was marinated last year. Besides, there is a variety called Yueyuegui in the sweet-scented osmanthus, which blooms every month."
"Brother, you know a lot." Su Shaoying said flatteringly.
"If you have something to talk about, don't give me shit soup." Yan Lide laughed and scolded, Su Shaoying stayed in his study as soon as he came back.
"Brother, master will come tomorrow, do you think I should do something? Master will live in the Yan Mansion, right?" Su Shaoying hesitated and said.
"Sect Leader Dugu won't live in an official's house. He has long since abandoned everything in the past. He is the Sect Leader of Emei. As for you? Make amends if you do something wrong. It's useless for me to beat the drum."
"Brother, don't be so heartless. I didn't do anything wrong. I just lied to Junior Sister Sun, saying that Master had already worn the clothes she made and had forgiven her."
"Su Shaoying! Are those words true and those words are false!" Yan Lide slapped the table, he was fooled, thinking that Dugu Yihe really forgave Sun Xiuqing, "What's going on!" Yan Lide roared angrily.
what happened?It's just two ends and mud.Saying in front of Dugu Yihe how happy Sun Xiuqing's newly-married is is that he misses Master and feels guilty.In front of Sun Xiuqing, she said that Dugu Yihe had a tough mouth and a soft heart, but in fact, she had forgiven her long ago.But looking at Yan Lide's face burning with anger, Su Shaoying couldn't say that.
"Didn't I see that Junior Sister Sun was pregnant? Let's do it, let's do it!" Su Shaoying stood up awkwardly, ready to run away if Yan Lide made trouble, his eyes rolled around, and he didn't know what he was planning.
Suddenly Su Shaoying saw the jade pendant on the table and shouted, "Brother, why do you have this jade pendant?"
"Where did you see it?" Yan Lide asked seriously, this is the heirloom jade pendant sent by Qian Zeyu, if there is another piece, it is a descendant of her great-great-grandfather.
Su Shaoying originally randomly found a topic to divert attention, but she didn't expect Yan Lide to attach so much importance to it, so she thought about it carefully and said, "Just today, at Junior Sister Sun's place." Su Shaoying took it over and looked carefully, and said, "Yes, it's the same Yes, I saw it on the dressing table when I accompanied her into the house to pack things."
really?Could it be that Sun Xiuqing is a descendant of that great-great-grandfather? Why did she end up in Central Plains? Yes, yes, Sun Xiuqing is an orphan, so she must not know her background.
"Did you ask her where the jade pendant came from?"
Su Shaoying said embarrassedly: "No." He entered the room mainly because he was afraid that the pregnant woman would have an accident and no one would help her. For such an older senior brother and sister, Su Shaoying was also a student who was promoted in school. Carefully look at it?
"Okay, you go, I understand." Yan Lide waved his hand.
"Then master..." Su Shaoying also noticed that she seemed to have made meritorious service inadvertently.
"I'll say something nice to you." Yan Lide nodded.
At night, Yan Lide took a box of red ginseng and went to Hefangzhai.
Ximen Chuuxue pushed the door out with her hair loose, reflecting cold light under the moonlight on the night of the thirteenth.
"Is something wrong?"
"Look for Mrs. Sun."
Don't worry about waking up the pregnant woman. Sun Xiuqing was in a light sleep and had already got up and lit the oil lamp.
There is no living room in the small courtyard, only three bedrooms. It is inconvenient for Yan Lide to enter the house, so he can only sit on the stone bench in the courtyard.The cold wind was blowing on a summer night, and the stone bench was a little cold.
After a while, Sun Xiuqing slowly tidied up and walked out.
Seeing that Ximen Chuuxue didn't respond, Yan Lide took off his cloak, folded it in half and spread it on the stone bench, then flew to take off the thin cloak hanging under the tree in the small courtyard, and gently covered Sun Xiuqing with great hospitality.The corners of Ximen Chuixue's eyes twitched unnaturally, is Yan Lide possessed by something dirty?
"This is red ginseng from the Western Regions. It has a gentle temperament and nourishes Qi. It is milder than ginseng and is more suitable for pregnant women." Yan Lide pushed out the brocade box in his hand, and Ximen Chuuxue opened it on the spot. Inside was an adult type of ginseng.
"Is something wrong?" Ximen Chuuxue asked this question for the second time tonight.
"I can't wait to ask about Junior Sister Sun's life experience." Yan Lide said seriously, if Sun Xiuqing was really related to him, would he help a group of Ximen to blow snow without any trace? He knew that Ye Gucheng would lose in the first place, not his His martial arts is not good, but he wants to die.Is Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, going to be beheaded for treason?It would be better to die in the hands of the destined opponent and pass it down through the ages.
"Senior Brother Yan, please." Sun Xiuqing changed her name from Shanruliu. Su Shaoying had already told her that the Emei Sect and Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion had a lot of connections, and also told her that if her life was in danger, she could ask him to save her life.Sun Xiuqing believed in herself, and even more in her senior brother and master.
"You have the same jade pendant, right?" Yan Lide took out the jade pendant Qian Zeyu sent from his pocket.
Sun Xiuqing glanced at Ximen Chuuxue, nodded and said, "Yes."
"Can I have a look?" Sun Xiuqing nodded and said, "It's on the dressing table in the room." He said this to Ximen Chuuxue, motioning him to get it.
Yan Lide took the jade pendant and compared it, and it was exactly the same. Yan Lide sighed and asked, "Do you remember your own life experience?"
"I am a fisherman's daughter by the Qingyi River. Because my parents died early, I was abandoned by the river. I was rescued by a passing master. I was brought back to Emei to be raised and educated." Sun Xiuqing was telling the truth.
"What is the origin of the jade pendant?" Ximen Chuuxue, who was always quiet, asked proactively.
"The two identical jade pendants are the jade pendants of two brothers. The person holding this jade pendant is my wife's cousin. Junior sister Sun..."
Before Yan Lide finished speaking, Ximen Chuuxue answered calmly: "The jade pendant is mine."
Yan Lide was stunned for a moment, carefully observed that the two of them did not show any signs of lying, and sighed that he was careless.Fortunately, Ximen Chuuxue and Sun Xiuqing are not big treacherous people, otherwise, taking advantage of his urgency, I don't know how many troubles have arisen.
"Can I hear your life experience?" Yan Lide asked.
"Without father and mother, the housekeeper brought him up and inherited Wanmei Villa." Ximen Chuuxue only knew as much about his own background as the outside world knew.
"I remember that the rise of Wanmei Villa was not long ago, and I have never heard of your father's name being taboo." Yan Lide carefully studied the forces in the world, and Wanmei Villa appeared very suddenly.
"Wanmei Villa will always be there. If there is no Ximen Chuuxue, no one would know about it." Ximen Chuuxue said calmly. If there is no famous swordsman, Wanmei Villa is just an unknown small village in the remote northern part of the country.
"May I hear the story of Yu Pei." Ximen Chuuxue asked.
Yan Lide slowly started from Yingzong's personal conquest of Wala under the instigation of Wang Zhen, and the Qian family brothers followed the army.
"So, my biological father's surname is Yu, and my biological mother is a descendant of the Qian family?" Ximen Chuuxue talked about his life experience in a straightforward manner, without any shock or doubt.
"If the jade pendant was left to you by your mother." Yan Lide was full of hope. If it was not an important token, he would not have given it to Sun Xiuqing.
"What the butler said is indeed my mother's relic." Ximen Chuuxue nodded in confirmation.
"I will marry An Changbo's daughter in October, you and I..."
"I have no intention of changing my family name, Ximen Chuuxue is Ximen Chuuxue!" Ximen Chuuxue said firmly.He is just a cold plum on a high mountain outside the Great Wall, and he doesn't want to be a relative of the emperor, nor a relative of high officials and dignitaries. What good are these in the way of swords, but useless to Ximen Chuuxue!
Yan Lide was stunned for a moment, not everyone yearned for the arrival of their relatives like him and his wife's family. "I see, I'll tell Jiannei, excuse me."
Yan Lide stood up and pushed the red ginseng box over, indicating that even if he was not a relative, he would not take back the gift.
"Brother Yan..." Sun Xiuqing hurriedly stood up, trying to call him back.
Yan Lide grabbed the cloak on the stone bench and hung it on his arm, comforted Sun Xiuqing and said, "Junior Sister Sun, I'm sorry to disturb you. This is the token of the Yan Mansion. If there is anything, you can ask Dongchang, Yan Mansion, and the Beggars' Gang for help." Yan Lide He almost told Sun Xiuqing about the distribution of his power.
Sun Xiuqing didn't know whether to accept it, but Yan Lide stuffed the heavy black token that was neither gold nor jade into her hand, and said: "The original surname of Dugu Sect Master is Yan, he is my uncle, you are my junior sister, please keep it. "
Hehe, Yan Lide didn't think of any brother and sister feelings before.
Yan Lide didn't look at Ximen Chuuxue, and fled away.
The next day, the shopkeeper of Hefangzhai came to report, saying that the inspection of the east factory on this street was more intensive, and the surrounding blocks were all within the crackdown range.Originally, their civilian-inhabited street was not under strict defense.The shopkeeper said: "The whole south of the city is included, so it shouldn't be aimed at Hefangzhai."
Ximen Chuuxue listened attentively, people outside walked in a uniform pace, possessed internal strength, and could use it to deter the enemy, he was already a second-rate master in the world.It is impossible for all government soldiers to be masters. It seems that they are indeed "targeted".
Today is the fourteenth day of the eighth month. In previous years, it would be a holiday. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a big festival. The palace must have been filled with joy and a new look.This year is also a holiday, but the civil servants are gone, but the number of guards has tripled, and there are patrolling Jinyi guards and horse eunuchs everywhere.
"Don't wait to see the good show, what are you doing here?" Zhu Houzhao asked leisurely, everything was planned, and he was still waiting to see this grand event.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Prince Pingnan's son entered Beijing privately, using the Zijin War with his intentions." Yan Lide bowed to report. Ximen Chuuxue died.I don't know how much effect this butterfly will bring. If King Pingnan succeeds, Ximen Chuuxue will definitely die.
"Oh, interesting? Is there more than one good show? Tell me in detail." Zhu Houzhao was not afraid of anger, only excited.
The author has something to say: It’s too late again, procrastination is hopeless~ Lie down and let the whipping go!
"She didn't leave a message for you? So, it's all your wishful thinking that you are worried about your sister's loss, and she doesn't know?" Yan Lide asked angrily.
"No, of course junior sister also cares about me. It's just that Ximen Chuuxue is on the cusp of the storm. She has become Ximen Chuuxue's weakness. Naturally, she must protect herself to protect Ximen Chuuxue. My identity is also sensitive. How many people are looking at me, trying to follow the vine? , find junior sister, and threaten Ximen Chuuxue. I heard that these days, people who bet on the battle between Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng in the capital gambling shop are almost flooding the gambling shop. There are not a few people who invest in it, so be careful." There are countless people in the world who kill people for money, let alone this time it is a major event related to their own wealth.
"I only care about whether the two of you are connected or not. Don't just "you care about me, I care about you", it's all in my heart." Yan Lide complained expressionlessly.
"Ahem, big brother is always so sharp." Su Shaoying took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to Yan Lide: "This is a letter from Junior Sister Sun to me."
Yan Lide glanced at the letter, and said: "She is still sensible. Huh, you came to me, didn't you just lose her whereabouts? Don't worry, the capital is under the surveillance of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and I will find her. "It doesn't matter if Ximen Chuuxue's hidden skills are so profound. Yan Lide remembers that the place is called Hefangzhai, which is a pastry shop. People's memory is so strange. They selectively remember the parts that interest them the most. The first time they heard When telling this story, Yan Lide thought it was the name of a brothel.
Sun Shaoying took back the letter and put it away. In the letter, Junior Sister Sun explained the ins and outs of her marriage to Ximen Chuuxue, and Dugu Yihe didn't dislike the marriage as much as they thought.It's just that Ximen Chuuxue and Dugu Yihe are both top swordsmen in the world, and one day they will meet each other in battle. They will not feel pity, but will only tremble with excitement.Others can't understand the idea of martyrdom for martial arts and swordsmanship, they only know that the two relatives are facing each other.After all, Dugu Yihe is older, has experienced complicated experiences, and has a more insightful understanding of human relationships and the world. He is afraid that his apprentice will be in a dilemma after he gets married.
Sun Xiuqing is also worthy of being a person in the Jianghu. He has accepted the concept of the supremacy of martial arts since he was a child, and it will not prevent the two masters from fighting each other.She is a chivalrous woman who can live independently. She can guarantee her own safety and raise her children to grow up safely.
"Hey, Big Brother Yan, Big Brother, just take me in. Now that so many people are pouring into the capital, housing prices are soaring, and ruined temples are full. If you don't take me in, I really want to sleep on the streets." Su Shaoying pretended to be pitiful. .
"My status in Beijing is sensitive, and I am not allowed to bring people from the Jianghu into the mansion, not under any circumstances." Yan Lide can only tell this.
"Don't worry, I promise not to be noticed!" Su Shaoying said with her chest out.
"If you want to lie to the world, you must at least have a source. I think the name Su Shaoqing should be used. You are a student who is going to Beijing to rush for the exam. First go to the Shanxi Guild Hall and then come to my house." An exam candidate is not in Jianghu within human attention.
Su Shaoying had a bitter face, he was determined to discard the vest of the "manly yellow" joke, why would he come out of the arena again.Seeing Yan Lide's face that could not be refused, the forced Su Shaoying nodded with tears.
All it said was to inquire about the other party's current situation, it was impossible for Yan Lide not to take him in; Su Shaoying also knew very well, otherwise he would not have gone straight to Yan's mansion as soon as he entered Beijing, there is a courtyard reserved for him here.
After the matter was settled, Su Shaoying tilted his head and asked, "Brother, you don't seem to like Junior Sister Sun."
"Is there?" Yan Lide refused to admit it.
"Yes! It's obvious. You and Junior Sister Sun shouldn't have met each other. Did someone slander you in front of you?" Su Shaoying is a qualified senior brother who is very close to his brothers and sisters.
"Hmm... I think she's not filial enough to the Gu family, she's too helpful for Ximen Chuuxue, she only cares about her own feelings." Yan Lide thought to himself, Ximen Chuuxue killed you, killed Dugu Yihe and Sun Xiuqing and insisted on marrying him, these things can't be done Said.
"Hahahaha..." Su Shaoying laughed loudly, clutching her belly and said, "Oh, brother, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful! I knew that brother is a sincere gentleman, but I didn't expect you to be so rigid!"
Su Shaoying laughed so hard that tears came out, "Junior Sister Sun is a girl~ I want to marry a good husband, what's wrong with being a husband and raising children, Ximen Chuuxue is a good candidate, with high martial arts, rich family resources, and good character. As for filial piety, How can people in the Jianghu pay attention to this? Master has three of our senior brothers and a few younger sisters to accompany him. This year, Junior Sister Sun has a lot of rituals and birthday gifts. She has always been respectful to her master. yes."
Yan Lide was startled, yes, when it comes to retirement, it is the matter of senior brother Yan Renying, the strictest etiquette at this time only requires Sun Xiuqing to treat Dugu Yihe respectfully and politely, she will be another family member after she gets married.Yan Lide thought to himself, why would he be so harsh on a girl, demanding her with a high moral standard that she had never come into contact with.Just because the "original book" Dugu Yihe and Su Shaoying died at the hands of Ximen Chuuxue, did she still get married?But none of this happened!Even in the time and space when these things happened, Sun Xiuqing's actions did not cause waves in the Jianghu. People in the Jianghu pay attention to love and hatred, move their hearts freely, stay together if they like it, and separate if they don't like it. Those confidantes like Lu Xiaofeng are also Would it be possible that the daughter of a good family would seek life and death because of her chastity, or would she not marry Lu Xiaofeng for a while?nothing!
Yan Lide smiled wryly, one world has the moral standards of another world, how could he have such a strange idea to measure Gu Long's romantic free will with Jin Yong's theory of responsibility.Yan Lide vaguely remembered someone criticizing Sun Xiuqing for not being a filial piety, and when Dugu Yihe's body was still cold, she married the murderer who killed her master and senior brother.Now that I think about it, Dugu Yihe died in a decisive battle, even though he died, he was honorable, he sought benevolence, as a disciple who knew him well, why should he resent his opponent.The logic of people in the rivers and lakes is completely different from the logic of people in officialdom.
His mind changed sharply, Yan Lide thought clearly in a moment, nodded and admitted: "I misunderstood her, I will pay attention to her and Ximen Chuuxue's whereabouts."
Then Su Shaoying lived in the Yan Mansion with peace of mind, and walked around the Shanxi Guild Hall under the cover of "Su Shaoqing", but did not attract attention.The students living in the guild hall also heard about the large-scale gathering of Jianghu people, and they were very indignant about the two swordsmen's martial arts competition in the Fengtian Hall, which is the symbol of the majesty of the country. Everyone knows the saying that "a scholar meets a soldier, and it's hard to explain without reason." Everyone who can be admitted to Juren is not a fool.
That's good, it didn't waste Yan Lide's good intention of sending someone to preach to the scholars. It was very difficult for Daming to train a scholar, and he had reached the level of juren, and he was accidentally killed by Jianghu people, what a waste.It is also easy to provoke a fight between the two parties and bring trouble to him who is in charge of the security of the capital.
The decisive battle was rescheduled to August [-]th, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was difficult for many people.Those who have a bad life are big people, and the people at the bottom are very happy. The people in the capital have made a lot of money during this time. When there are too many people, they want money for eating, drinking and drinking. If you vacate a room in your house, you can collect money. How wonderful buy and sell.There are also government inspections, and people in the Jianghu dare not bully others, and they can feel at ease when they make money.For a moment, the capital entered a strange calm, and everyone restrained their actions, for fear of becoming the first bird.
At night, Yan Lide was reviewing official documents in his study, when he suddenly heard a sharp whistle, he opened the window and saw that it was Lu Xiaofeng who was chased away in the dark night!
"Back off!" Yan Lide yelled, and the guards backed down.
Lu Xiaofeng wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and jumped out from the siege of the crossbow team.Ever since the first battle at the Pingnan Palace, Lu Xiaofeng has known the power of bows and crossbows. The palaces of high officials in the court are all equipped with such guards, so Lu Xiaofeng does not hesitate to use himself as an example to warn people in the world not to break into the palaces of high officials in the court. This is not them Can touch.
"Lu Xiaofeng, Lu Xiaofeng, why can't you change your habit of being a thief. Are you unwilling to be shot into a hedgehog when you climb over the wall in the middle of the night?" Yan Lide laughed.
Lu Xiaofeng jumped in from the window, sat down on the thief, and said: "That's because I know Brother Yan is very tolerant, and he won't argue with Lu Xiaofeng." Lu Xiaofeng is a self-acquainted, poured himself, and drank up the pot of tea in the study .
"What's the matter?" Yan Lide asked straight to the point, with his friendship with Lu Xiaofeng, he didn't go to the point of visiting late at night.
"Brother Yan is a discerning person, so how could he not know Lu Xiaofeng's situation. At Chunhua Restaurant today, Brother Yan's subordinates made a big splash. Lu Xiaofeng was entrusted by Du Tongxuan's family to return his body." Lu Xiaofeng touched Xiaofeng helplessly. beard.
"Du Tongxuan's body is involved in a murder case, so we can't give it now. When the case is cleared, it will naturally be returned to the family." Yan Lide refused, and the court has its own procedures for investigating the case.
Today in Chunhua Restaurant, a white horse carrying Du Tongxuan's body suddenly appeared. Even Jinyiwei and Dongchang were caught off guard. A group of subordinates who had been beaten in the face were gearing up to get back to the place. As the leader, Yan Lide could not dampen the enthusiasm of his subordinates.Besides, what happened today was not only the fact that Du Tongxuan's body stood out in the downtown area, but more importantly, one of the two swordsmen who had been in hiding finally showed his face.Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, covered the ground with flowers, and his wonderful voice opened the way. He appeared like a god of the nine heavens, killed the people in the Tang Sect, and defeated the rumors that Ye Gucheng was injured in the rivers and lakes in one fell swoop, adding countless confidence to the gamblers who bet on him to win.
Ye Gucheng came faster and left faster, so he didn't know that there would be an official sent to investigate in the follow-up, accusing the restaurant owner of destroying environmental sanitation.The restaurant owner argued that it was left by the guests, and the officials didn't believe it. Even the princess would not be so fancy when traveling these days. It could only be a means for the restaurant owner to attract customers.The restaurant was ordered to rectify and clean up the street in front of the gate.To be able to open a restaurant in the capital, you have some background. Others are surprised to see the boss obediently arrange for people to clean up. They don’t know that the imperial court has strict management on shops, and there are many details. If you don’t follow the rules, you will be cleared out. Do business in the capital.
People all over the world looked at the scene of sweeping the petals in the restaurant, feeling embarrassed, why is this painting style so strange.
That's why Lu Xiaofeng doesn't like to deal with people in the government, it's always so old-fashioned and boring. "Brother Yan, can't you accommodate me?"
"I'm in charge of public security in the capital. I'll accommodate Lu Xiaofeng today and Lu Dafeng tomorrow. How can I obey the public?" Yan Lide's position is not only monitored by Mou Bin, but also closely watched by Xie Qian, who is not at odds with him, so there can be no mistakes.Not only did he pay attention to himself, but Yan Lide also made repeated orders to his subordinates. Whoever dared to break the precept would make him "jointly and severally liable". Yan Lide didn't mind killing relatives righteously in advance.
"I thought we were friends." Lu Xiaofeng started to play the emotional card.
"So, I have given you preferential treatment. Are you honored to enter the Yan Mansion without being shot into a hedgehog, and to be treated with good tea?"
Lu Xiaofeng sighed, what an honor.
Yan Lide quickly wrote a warrant, stamped it with a big seal and handed it to Lu Xiaofeng, saying: "Warrant, you can enter and leave the gates of the inner and outer cities at will without the prohibition, you can discuss with the yamen to examine Du Tongxuan's body, the government will give you a certain cooperation .How, are you enough friends?"
Lu Xiaofeng quickly took it, and said with a smile, "Thank you, thank you."
"I wonder if Brother Yan has any news about Ximen Chuuxue or Yechengzhu?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
"Keep an inch, huh?" Yan Lide raised his chin and glanced at the warrant in Lu Xiaofeng's hand.
"Brother Yan is well-informed, if Lu Xiaofeng doesn't ask you, who do you ask? If Brother Yan is sent in the future, Lu Xiaofeng will never refuse." Lu Xiaofeng is also blind. He came to the capital to prevent two friends from confronting swords, and ended up breaking one of them.But when they arrived in the capital, they didn't even catch anyone, so they were busy investigating the killing of gamblers headed by Li Yanhua and Du Tongxuan.Ye Gucheng showed up today to see him, but his lightness kung fu was superb, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't keep up, so he could only ask Yan Lide for help.
"Generally speaking, I hope that someone who goes up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of fire is someone else, not my friend." Yan Lide said softly, and a plain sentence coaxed Lu Xiaofeng to smile. "So, you have no possibility of running around for me, and I don't have to answer your questions. Lu Xiaofeng, please—"
Yan Lide pointed to the direction of the door and told him to go through the main door.
Even Lu Xiaofeng is not so thick-skinned as the master sees off the guests. Yan Lide is not a gentle scholar, Lu Xiaofeng is deeply afraid that Yan Lide will greet him with the bow and crossbow team again.
Although Yan Lide knew the location of Ximen Chuuxue, he could only focus on testing the strength of the Eighteen Guards of Yanyun, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei, so he deliberately didn't say anything.In the end, Yan Yi and Liu Jin sent news at the same time, saying that they had found Ximen Chuuxue's whereabouts.Yan Lide was very proud. With the cooperation of him and Liu Jin, Jin Yiwei's control over the capital was indeed relaxed.
Yan Lide invited Su Shaoying to come, and said: "Ximen Chuixue placed Sun Xiuqing in Hefangzhai, a pastry shop in the south of the city. It is a century-old shop and the stronghold of Wanmei Villa."
"Right now, Ximen Chuixue is stared at by countless pairs of eyes. It's not good to just go there. Why don't you help me and ask if it's appropriate?" Su Shaoying was dressed in a scholarly gown, holding a folding fan, and dressed like a standard scholar.
Yan Lide wrote to Ximen Chuuxue, Sun Xiuqing was pregnant and running around, and her husband was facing a life-and-death battle, feeling depressed, and relatives could help her, Ximen Chuuxue agreed to visit her.At this time, Ximen Chuuxue is still a man who has fallen in love. He practiced ruthless swordsmanship, and he was born into the world.Ximen Chuuxue has not yet become a god, and he still has the soft heart of a mortal.
On the holiday, Yan Lide took his distant cousin Su Shaoqing to Hefangzhai to buy pastries.Hefangzhai takes the path of small profits but high sales. It is a century-old shop. Although the pastries taste good, they are all high-end goods, which is different from the restaurants in Beijing and Zhongzhong that mainly focus on expensive pastries.But no matter what kind of shop, if you meet a high-ranking official like Yan Lide, you will always respectfully invite him to the private room to rest.Hefangzhai only takes out food, and there is no private room for guests to rest, so the staff led people to the backyard.
The backyard of Hefangzhai is narrow and adjacent to the dark ditch, passing through the rockery built on the dark ditch of the sewer, there is another world.
Ximen Chuuxue was sitting on a stone bench in the yard wiping his sword, and Sun Xiuqing greeted her excitedly with her pregnant belly.
"Junior Sister, are you okay?" Su Shaoying watched Sun Xiuqing coming up, but took two steps back, wanted to see but felt impolite, wanted to touch but didn't dare, pregnant woman is too fragile, Su Shaoying didn't dare to get too close.
"Very good, the child is very well-behaved." Sun Xiuqing stroked her stomach and smiled softly, exuding a strong maternal radiance. Ximen Chuuxue was also infected by such a smile, and slowly lowered her long sword.
"Master Ximen doesn't mind having one more person come to visit you?" Yan Lide asked.
Ximen Chuuxue turned his head to the direction of the uninvited guest, a group of birds fluttered away from the tree in the courtyard, Lu Xiaofeng jumped down from the tree like another big bird, somehow he managed to control the birds and let them stop Do not move.
As soon as Lu Xiaofeng landed on the ground, he immediately raised his hands and said: "Brother Yan, I really didn't mean to follow you. As soon as I went out today, I found that you and Brother Su had arrived at Hefangzhai. It was really a coincidence that we met on the way."
Lu Xiaofeng was just about to swear, but the more he said it, the more he seemed to be lying. Is this true?Lu Xiaofeng was about to cry, Yan Lide didn't have much friendship with him, and then he found himself following him, people in the officialdom are most taboo about these things, so he exploded on the spot.
Things were not as bad as Lu Xiaofeng thought, Yan Lide was used to the "leader's halo", Lu Xiaofeng often solved cases with an element of luck, who said he was God's own son?
"En." Yan Lide nodded to indicate that he heard it, but did not respond, and then said to Ximen Chuuxue: "Junxiu's ruthless sword?"
"Yes." Ximen Chuuxue was most proud of his kendo.
"But you are sympathetic, your sword is slow." Yan Lide pointed out mercilessly again, while Sun Xiuqing also turned pale.In the fight between masters, the difference is a thousand miles away, and the sword is slow, and the life is gone.
"Hefangzhai is not safe. I came to Dongchang to find out the news. Lu Xiaofeng also came here. Here..." Yan Lide looked around. This is a small courtyard built by using blind spots and back street corners. There are only three houses. , a narrow small courtyard, only a few big trees can be seen from the outside, which is why the small courtyard has existed for many years and has not been discovered.Yan Lide confirmed: "This place is not suitable for pregnant women to raise babies."
"Brother Yan, what do you mean?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
"You can go to my house, there is an imperial doctor, a steady wife, and a maid." Yan Lide promoted.
Ximen Chuuxue cast his eyes on Sun Xiuqing, he knew what Yan Lide said was right, but he wasn't sure what Sun Xiuqing thought.
Sun Xiuqing caressed her belly and said firmly, "I want to stay with you."
"But you will become his weakness and weakness." Yan Lide pointed out mercilessly.
"Junior Sister, let's go to Yan's Mansion. Master is on his way. He will probably arrive today or tomorrow, so you should go back to your mother's house for two days." Su Shaoying really cared about Sun Xiuqing.
"No, I want to stay and guard him." Sun Xiuqing walked slowly to Ximen Chuuxue, held his hand and said, "If you win, I will wait for you here; if you lose, I will collect the corpse for you. I will protect myself, and I will also use a sword!"
"Oh, since Mrs. Sun wants to stay, let's stay. Lu Xiaofeng has no other skills, but he can always protect someone, Simon, do you believe me?" Lu Xiaofeng interrupted the solemn atmosphere, winking exaggeratedly.In fact, Lu Xiaofeng was a little worried. At a time when everyone was inquiring about the whereabouts of Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng, Yan Lide suddenly wanted to take Ximen Chuuxue's family into the mansion. It seemed strange. Yan Lide had never pretended to Sun Xiuqing before.Lu Xiaofeng has come into contact with too many conspiracies. Although he has no intention of harming others, he must be cautious. He habitually thought about it.
If Yan Lide knew, he would definitely laugh at him for treating the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Yan Lide suddenly became kind, but it was just compensation, compensation for his misunderstanding of Sun Xiuqing for so long.
Although Su Shaoying cared about her junior sister, she was a man after all, so she could only say a few words of concern. Seeing that Sun Xiuqing had made up her mind, she didn't force her, she just said: "I will come to see you often."
"No need." Ximen Chuuxue flatly refused, not giving the uncle any face.
"The situation is tense. You live in the Yan Mansion. There are no people in the world paying attention, and there are also people from the court watching. Don't give them more eyes, just pretend that you don't know. Today we are only here to buy pastries." Yan Lide understood The meaning of Ximen Chuuxue.
Having said all that needs to be said, Yan Lide got up and said: "In that case, we will take our leave and not see you off."
"Wait..." Sun Xiuqing stopped them, and said guiltily, "Master will go to Beijing soon, but I can't accept Huan Huan's knees. It's really unfilial. I made some sets of clothes for Master. Brother, help me take them back."
"I'll go in with you to clean up." Su Shaoying looked at the three people in the courtyard, and felt that she should avoid it.
There was silence in the small courtyard, Ximen Chuuxue continued to polish his sword, Lu Xiaofeng, who loves the most active atmosphere, also drank wine every now and then, Yan Lide was watching his nose, nose, nose and heart, looking like an old monk in meditation, waiting quietly Su Shaoying came back.
Yan Lide's attitude towards the decisive battle is not much different from that of ordinary people in the court. This time he came to show his favor, one is to thank Ximen Chuuxue for giving him the sword during his engagement, and the other is to compensate Sun Xiuqing. Both of them refused, and Yan Lide was not cold Face sticking hot ass hobby.
....................................
Su Shaoying took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and tasted it with relish, and said, "There are sweet-scented osmanthus flowers now? You also put so much effort into making the pastry. It is indeed a century-old shop."
Yan Lide took out a piece, tasted it, and said, "The sweet-scented osmanthus sauce that was marinated last year. Besides, there is a variety called Yueyuegui in the sweet-scented osmanthus, which blooms every month."
"Brother, you know a lot." Su Shaoying said flatteringly.
"If you have something to talk about, don't give me shit soup." Yan Lide laughed and scolded, Su Shaoying stayed in his study as soon as he came back.
"Brother, master will come tomorrow, do you think I should do something? Master will live in the Yan Mansion, right?" Su Shaoying hesitated and said.
"Sect Leader Dugu won't live in an official's house. He has long since abandoned everything in the past. He is the Sect Leader of Emei. As for you? Make amends if you do something wrong. It's useless for me to beat the drum."
"Brother, don't be so heartless. I didn't do anything wrong. I just lied to Junior Sister Sun, saying that Master had already worn the clothes she made and had forgiven her."
"Su Shaoying! Are those words true and those words are false!" Yan Lide slapped the table, he was fooled, thinking that Dugu Yihe really forgave Sun Xiuqing, "What's going on!" Yan Lide roared angrily.
what happened?It's just two ends and mud.Saying in front of Dugu Yihe how happy Sun Xiuqing's newly-married is is that he misses Master and feels guilty.In front of Sun Xiuqing, she said that Dugu Yihe had a tough mouth and a soft heart, but in fact, she had forgiven her long ago.But looking at Yan Lide's face burning with anger, Su Shaoying couldn't say that.
"Didn't I see that Junior Sister Sun was pregnant? Let's do it, let's do it!" Su Shaoying stood up awkwardly, ready to run away if Yan Lide made trouble, his eyes rolled around, and he didn't know what he was planning.
Suddenly Su Shaoying saw the jade pendant on the table and shouted, "Brother, why do you have this jade pendant?"
"Where did you see it?" Yan Lide asked seriously, this is the heirloom jade pendant sent by Qian Zeyu, if there is another piece, it is a descendant of her great-great-grandfather.
Su Shaoying originally randomly found a topic to divert attention, but she didn't expect Yan Lide to attach so much importance to it, so she thought about it carefully and said, "Just today, at Junior Sister Sun's place." Su Shaoying took it over and looked carefully, and said, "Yes, it's the same Yes, I saw it on the dressing table when I accompanied her into the house to pack things."
really?Could it be that Sun Xiuqing is a descendant of that great-great-grandfather? Why did she end up in Central Plains? Yes, yes, Sun Xiuqing is an orphan, so she must not know her background.
"Did you ask her where the jade pendant came from?"
Su Shaoying said embarrassedly: "No." He entered the room mainly because he was afraid that the pregnant woman would have an accident and no one would help her. For such an older senior brother and sister, Su Shaoying was also a student who was promoted in school. Carefully look at it?
"Okay, you go, I understand." Yan Lide waved his hand.
"Then master..." Su Shaoying also noticed that she seemed to have made meritorious service inadvertently.
"I'll say something nice to you." Yan Lide nodded.
At night, Yan Lide took a box of red ginseng and went to Hefangzhai.
Ximen Chuuxue pushed the door out with her hair loose, reflecting cold light under the moonlight on the night of the thirteenth.
"Is something wrong?"
"Look for Mrs. Sun."
Don't worry about waking up the pregnant woman. Sun Xiuqing was in a light sleep and had already got up and lit the oil lamp.
There is no living room in the small courtyard, only three bedrooms. It is inconvenient for Yan Lide to enter the house, so he can only sit on the stone bench in the courtyard.The cold wind was blowing on a summer night, and the stone bench was a little cold.
After a while, Sun Xiuqing slowly tidied up and walked out.
Seeing that Ximen Chuuxue didn't respond, Yan Lide took off his cloak, folded it in half and spread it on the stone bench, then flew to take off the thin cloak hanging under the tree in the small courtyard, and gently covered Sun Xiuqing with great hospitality.The corners of Ximen Chuixue's eyes twitched unnaturally, is Yan Lide possessed by something dirty?
"This is red ginseng from the Western Regions. It has a gentle temperament and nourishes Qi. It is milder than ginseng and is more suitable for pregnant women." Yan Lide pushed out the brocade box in his hand, and Ximen Chuuxue opened it on the spot. Inside was an adult type of ginseng.
"Is something wrong?" Ximen Chuuxue asked this question for the second time tonight.
"I can't wait to ask about Junior Sister Sun's life experience." Yan Lide said seriously, if Sun Xiuqing was really related to him, would he help a group of Ximen to blow snow without any trace? He knew that Ye Gucheng would lose in the first place, not his His martial arts is not good, but he wants to die.Is Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, going to be beheaded for treason?It would be better to die in the hands of the destined opponent and pass it down through the ages.
"Senior Brother Yan, please." Sun Xiuqing changed her name from Shanruliu. Su Shaoying had already told her that the Emei Sect and Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion had a lot of connections, and also told her that if her life was in danger, she could ask him to save her life.Sun Xiuqing believed in herself, and even more in her senior brother and master.
"You have the same jade pendant, right?" Yan Lide took out the jade pendant Qian Zeyu sent from his pocket.
Sun Xiuqing glanced at Ximen Chuuxue, nodded and said, "Yes."
"Can I have a look?" Sun Xiuqing nodded and said, "It's on the dressing table in the room." He said this to Ximen Chuuxue, motioning him to get it.
Yan Lide took the jade pendant and compared it, and it was exactly the same. Yan Lide sighed and asked, "Do you remember your own life experience?"
"I am a fisherman's daughter by the Qingyi River. Because my parents died early, I was abandoned by the river. I was rescued by a passing master. I was brought back to Emei to be raised and educated." Sun Xiuqing was telling the truth.
"What is the origin of the jade pendant?" Ximen Chuuxue, who was always quiet, asked proactively.
"The two identical jade pendants are the jade pendants of two brothers. The person holding this jade pendant is my wife's cousin. Junior sister Sun..."
Before Yan Lide finished speaking, Ximen Chuuxue answered calmly: "The jade pendant is mine."
Yan Lide was stunned for a moment, carefully observed that the two of them did not show any signs of lying, and sighed that he was careless.Fortunately, Ximen Chuuxue and Sun Xiuqing are not big treacherous people, otherwise, taking advantage of his urgency, I don't know how many troubles have arisen.
"Can I hear your life experience?" Yan Lide asked.
"Without father and mother, the housekeeper brought him up and inherited Wanmei Villa." Ximen Chuuxue only knew as much about his own background as the outside world knew.
"I remember that the rise of Wanmei Villa was not long ago, and I have never heard of your father's name being taboo." Yan Lide carefully studied the forces in the world, and Wanmei Villa appeared very suddenly.
"Wanmei Villa will always be there. If there is no Ximen Chuuxue, no one would know about it." Ximen Chuuxue said calmly. If there is no famous swordsman, Wanmei Villa is just an unknown small village in the remote northern part of the country.
"May I hear the story of Yu Pei." Ximen Chuuxue asked.
Yan Lide slowly started from Yingzong's personal conquest of Wala under the instigation of Wang Zhen, and the Qian family brothers followed the army.
"So, my biological father's surname is Yu, and my biological mother is a descendant of the Qian family?" Ximen Chuuxue talked about his life experience in a straightforward manner, without any shock or doubt.
"If the jade pendant was left to you by your mother." Yan Lide was full of hope. If it was not an important token, he would not have given it to Sun Xiuqing.
"What the butler said is indeed my mother's relic." Ximen Chuuxue nodded in confirmation.
"I will marry An Changbo's daughter in October, you and I..."
"I have no intention of changing my family name, Ximen Chuuxue is Ximen Chuuxue!" Ximen Chuuxue said firmly.He is just a cold plum on a high mountain outside the Great Wall, and he doesn't want to be a relative of the emperor, nor a relative of high officials and dignitaries. What good are these in the way of swords, but useless to Ximen Chuuxue!
Yan Lide was stunned for a moment, not everyone yearned for the arrival of their relatives like him and his wife's family. "I see, I'll tell Jiannei, excuse me."
Yan Lide stood up and pushed the red ginseng box over, indicating that even if he was not a relative, he would not take back the gift.
"Brother Yan..." Sun Xiuqing hurriedly stood up, trying to call him back.
Yan Lide grabbed the cloak on the stone bench and hung it on his arm, comforted Sun Xiuqing and said, "Junior Sister Sun, I'm sorry to disturb you. This is the token of the Yan Mansion. If there is anything, you can ask Dongchang, Yan Mansion, and the Beggars' Gang for help." Yan Lide He almost told Sun Xiuqing about the distribution of his power.
Sun Xiuqing didn't know whether to accept it, but Yan Lide stuffed the heavy black token that was neither gold nor jade into her hand, and said: "The original surname of Dugu Sect Master is Yan, he is my uncle, you are my junior sister, please keep it. "
Hehe, Yan Lide didn't think of any brother and sister feelings before.
Yan Lide didn't look at Ximen Chuuxue, and fled away.
The next day, the shopkeeper of Hefangzhai came to report, saying that the inspection of the east factory on this street was more intensive, and the surrounding blocks were all within the crackdown range.Originally, their civilian-inhabited street was not under strict defense.The shopkeeper said: "The whole south of the city is included, so it shouldn't be aimed at Hefangzhai."
Ximen Chuuxue listened attentively, people outside walked in a uniform pace, possessed internal strength, and could use it to deter the enemy, he was already a second-rate master in the world.It is impossible for all government soldiers to be masters. It seems that they are indeed "targeted".
Today is the fourteenth day of the eighth month. In previous years, it would be a holiday. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a big festival. The palace must have been filled with joy and a new look.This year is also a holiday, but the civil servants are gone, but the number of guards has tripled, and there are patrolling Jinyi guards and horse eunuchs everywhere.
"Don't wait to see the good show, what are you doing here?" Zhu Houzhao asked leisurely, everything was planned, and he was still waiting to see this grand event.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Prince Pingnan's son entered Beijing privately, using the Zijin War with his intentions." Yan Lide bowed to report. Ximen Chuuxue died.I don't know how much effect this butterfly will bring. If King Pingnan succeeds, Ximen Chuuxue will definitely die.
"Oh, interesting? Is there more than one good show? Tell me in detail." Zhu Houzhao was not afraid of anger, only excited.
The author has something to say: It’s too late again, procrastination is hopeless~ Lie down and let the whipping go!
