Get on the wrong sedan chair and marry the right wolf

At that time, General Mingwei's wife was a distant relative of Dr. Shuibu. She could not have been heard by the salty envoys, but she became famous in the capital because of her beauty.In the peaceful and prosperous age, General Mingwei was at home, and he often loved the joy of banquets, so someone sent a beautiful woman to him.The veil moves lightly, the waist is full and the mouth is full of cherry blossoms, singing and dancing slowly, such a beauty.General Ming Wei welcomed this girl as his first wife the next day because he fell in love at first sight, and it became a good story in Jinling City for a while.

Qu Quan tapped lightly on the rim of the cup with his fingers, but five years had passed since this story.

Five years is as fast as quicksand between fingers, like a white horse passing through the gap, but it is so long.

The mansion of the wealthy and noble family of Ning's family collapsed, and the lights and candles reflected the faint sound; the orphan whose family was ruined walked up Qionglin Royal Street, and the purple python was already wearing his torn coat before he could take pity on him.

The situation has not changed for a moment, but it seems that it has already experienced a change of stars.

No one can guarantee whether things five years ago will remain the same.

Qu Quan has never seen this lady before. Although she is a woman, she always sits with the king's colleagues at the imperial banquet, and her family members are always in another place.So even if they were destined to walk through the gate of the same palace, they still had no chance to meet each other.

"Master Qu has been waiting for a long time."

A gentle voice came around the screen, like soft satin caressing the fingertips, and the ring was lightly clasped, making a ringing sound.Qu Quan's gaze followed the sound, and he forgot to breathe for a moment.

----------

Since Ling Xueji hadn't disclosed her identity to the public, since Qu Quan said that she had something important to talk to Mrs. Yu, she was naturally stopped outside.She jumped up and down to see the scene inside, but at most she could only see a screen, and she tried not to be noticed by putting her ear against the wall, but she could only vaguely hear Qu Quan's sporadic laughter, and heard nothing else. .For some reason, this General Mingwei's mansion gave her a very strange feeling. It was also a general's mansion. When Qu Quan brought her to Wei Yueyan's mansion, she didn't have such a depressing feeling.Wei Yueyan's majesty is majestic and magnificent, although this place is not as grand and spacious as Wei Yueyan's, but the high walls seem to squeeze people's souls out of their bodies, which is really disturbing.

Zhang Fei still knew Ling Xueji, although he didn't know her real identity, but he treated Ling Xueji as his younger sister just like his master Youjie Yamen and Master, so now seeing her a little embarrassed, he kindly stepped forward and patted her On her shoulder, how could she have imagined that this slap would scare Ling Xueji, who was eavesdropping and fascinated.

"Ahhh!" After seeing the person coming, Ling Xueji held back her mouth, stretched out her hand and twisted Zhang Fei's muscular arm heavily, and at the same time lowered her voice, "What are you doing!"

"That..." After Zhang Fei got acquainted with her, he would not get angry with her easily. Now that she was so excited, he could only tell her the situation helplessly, "If you actually want to hear it, just go to the door and listen." Well, with your appearance, everyone will know that you are eavesdropping."

Why are you hiding?

Ling Xueji was startled when he heard the words, straightened his neck and looked at the corners of his eyes thinking it was not obvious, but anyone with a discerning eye could understand and glanced at the guards of General Mingwei's mansion and the Jinwu guards transferred from the Zuojie Yamen , They all have different postures, but the way they look at themselves is exactly the same.

"This..." Ling Xueji was so ashamed that he wished he could just open a big gap and get in, when the dagger was in his hand, the door opened in response.

Ling Xueji stared dumbfounded at Qu Quan who also stared at her dumbfounded.

"What are you doing?!"

Ling Xueji quickly hid the dagger behind her back, shaking her head like a rattle, "No, I didn't do anything, I don't want to do anything!"

----------

For the convenience of the return trip, the two abandoned their horses and replaced them with cars. Ling Xueji sat in the carriage and watched the mottled shadows flashing across Qu Quan's face, his fingers tightened on the dagger hanging from his waist, and a tight cherry The color of her lips was a little darker due to the dim light, but at this time it looked a little bit more beautiful, taking advantage of her immature face that has not yet bloomed, which has a special charm.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Huh? How do you know what I'm going to ask?" Ling Xueji was shocked, and then she held her dagger again and did not speak.

"Look, you really have something to ask." Qu Quan stroked his chin with his finger, smiling like a fox.

Ling Xueji patted Qu Quan's arm, "You lied to me again!"

"I won't lie to you, I won't lie to you..." Qu Quan wailed and tried to dodge, but still took ten percent of Ling Xueji's attack.He touched his face helplessly, then smiled and said, "Do you think I won't come out if I'm inside?"

"Hmph." Ling Xueji turned her head, her small mouth pouted enough to hold an oil drum, "Who knew you."

"Eh..." Qu Quan was confused for a moment, suddenly didn't know how to answer this topic, even though she was eloquent, she also found that there were questions that she couldn't answer.It is also possible that Ling Xueji's words are not a question, but an affirmative sentence.She flew out with a pot, but was kicked back by Ling Xueji, and this move hit her unknown territory inexplicably. She can always see people's hearts clearly, but she is really confused by Ling Xueji's appearance today. .

Xueji just now, what happened?is she angryOr are you blaming yourself for not taking her in to meet the wife of General Mingwei?Qu Quan couldn't figure it out, she just wanted to tease Xue Ji as usual, but she didn't expect that the other party really seemed to have some opinions on her...

Qu Quan was in a mess, um... She thought that the most sensible thing to do at this time is to immediately change the topic to a question she is good at.

"Actually, I didn't want to see that lady. I originally wanted to talk to General Mingwei."

"You were looking for General Mingwei, why did you find her wife?" Ling Xueji turned her face.

Qu Quan smiled and shook his head, "I don't know if it's a coincidence or someone can arrange it. General Mingwei was ordered by the Holy Order to deal with a wave of bandits a few months ago, but he hasn't returned yet."

"Ah?" Ling Xueji never expected this to happen, "That General Mingwei is..."

"No." Qu Quan patiently explained to her that the number of rogues in that wave was very small, and their force was not strong. Although sending General Mingwei there seemed a bit condescending, it was actually a helpless move by the Holy Majesty.In addition, in the peaceful and prosperous times, generals were not as relied on as they were in troubled times. General Mingwei was still a loose official, and most of the fact that he was sent out this time had nothing to do with court disputes.So generally speaking, as long as there is no invisible vortex gushing out suddenly, then General Mingwei will not be in too fatal danger when he goes out to fight the bandits.

Ling Xueji nodded half-understood, "So that's the case, then that madam is a little pitiful, actually staying in the mansion by herself for so long." She seemed to have thought of something, and actually sighed, " I used to feel sad when I was alone at home, and I think this lady is also like this."

"Are you at home alone?" Qu Quan thought he had grasped the point, "Did you often stay at home alone when you were in the prefect's mansion of Wu County?"

Ling Xueji raised his head, and a face that was more heroic due to the darkness of the carriage came straight into his eyes, which made Qu Quan feel shocked for a moment, "I mean in Shangshufu, you can't go out to handle the case time at home."

"Ah?" Wasn't there a collection of thrushes and my grandmother who was so eccentric that I couldn't be more eccentric, had a granddaughter-in-law and didn't want a granddaughter to accompany me!Qu Quan angrily bypassed a series of words in her heart, but she dared not utter a single word of these words.Just when Qu Quan didn't know how to respond, Ling Xueji changed the subject as if bypassing her experience.

"Then what does Mrs. General Mingwei do at home alone?"

As soon as Qu Quan talked about the business, his mind became clear again, "So, this is the key issue."

"What key question?"

"I heard that General Mingwei took in five concubines in five years, concubines from the two courts, but Mrs. Mingwei looks lonely and withered, why is that?" Qu Quan smiled and prepared to test her.

Ling Xueji suddenly opened her eyes wide, as if thinking of a question that shocked her, she opened her cherry-like mouth in surprise, "Why?"

Qu Quan laughed, and raised his hand to hit her on the head. Ling Xueji quickly grabbed that hand, pulled it down, and showed a bright smile, "You mean that General Mingwei's mansion doesn't seem to be as it is in the rumors. Is it lively?"

"That's right. She should be accompanied by a lot of people, but she seems to be alone. Isn't that a problem?" Qu Quanfu asked.

Ling Xueji pursed her lips, disapproving of Qu Quan's opinion, "But women's family members usually live in places that are closer to Xiyuan or Houyuan. We are all outsiders. It's normal to not see them when we go in."

Very good, I will refute it.Qu Quan held her hand back with a smile, and Ling Xueji, who was suddenly grasped, was stiff for a moment, and then he didn't pull out his hand quickly, but looked at Qu Quan as if holding her hand while suppressing his growing heartbeat. The smiling eyes of Qianqing Jiangyue.

"That's right, but how can a housewife who suffers from morning and evening anxiety every day, and a general's wife who is surrounded by a group of concubines surrounded by fat, swallows, and thin concubines all day long, with a plain face, wearing the most low-key jewelry, and wearing the most modest clothes?" What about plain clothes?"

"However, this may be because General Mingwei's wife doesn't like extravagance and waste, and advocates simplicity." Ling Xueji tilted her head, she remembered that when her sister didn't go out with her father, she also liked to wear plain clothes, which didn't seem to be true. No problem.

Qu Quan shook his head, "It's different."

Ling Xueji was puzzled, "Why is it different?"

Qu Quan turned his head to look at the inlaid windows on the carriage. The curtains fluttered gently in the breeze blown by the horses from time to time, letting in a glimmer of light from the sky. The outside is full of spring flowers, and it is about to enter the busiest season before midsummer. .

"Because she was a famous beauty."

People are all the same, stepping through Qiongyu's dangerous building, they no longer want to be caught by others, and can't bear the feeling of being caught and pushed into the dust and have to bow their heads.

Ling Xueji was still a little puzzled, she went to see Qu Quan, but Qu Quan's hand was still holding her, and he seemed to have forgotten to let go.Ling Xueji didn't want to move, so the two of them held each other intentionally and unintentionally.Ling Xueji knew that Qu Quan might not want to talk anymore for the time being. She found that Qu Quan often lost sight of the world while talking. She didn't know whether it was unintentional or intentional. She said that there are many things that are far away but not impossible, and she is willing to teach her many skills that her father and sister have never taught her, but just like now, she feels that Qu Quan is far away from her, this kind of distance is really far away and.

From time to time, she would still think of the night when Old Madam Qu asked her to consummate the house, but she sat and ate wontons with Qu Quan. What she was thinking at that time was beyond question, but Qu Quan was as calm as ever.

What did Qu Quan say at that time?

Ling Xueji tilted her head to recall that she said at the time that she was too young to think clearly about these issues.She said she was willing to wait for herself, for the day when she made a decision.And during the period of her waiting, she will take care of herself as a family member, and it will not stop until she decides to leave her.

What he said was very in line with the current status of the minister of the Ministry of punishment, calm, sharp, as careful as dust, and meticulous, and the words he said were impeccable.

A piece of speech that makes people cry, it seems that they are shouldering their own responsibilities, but in fact they are really calm and chilling.

Ling Xueji didn't know why he wanted to rely on her so much, and didn't want to think about this issue.I always ask myself in a daze, if I don't say the answer all the time, that person will always take care of me like I am now, and treat me well?

In fact... If you really have to choose, it's fine as it is now.that is……

Ling Xueji quietly raised her head, I also want to enter your world.

With a thought, courage naturally surged up continuously. She stared at Qu Quan's near-perfect side face, her small cherry-like mouth opened slightly,

"Qu Quan, what did you talk to her inside?"

"Hmph." Hearing this, Qu Quan stopped his thoughts of flying far away, turned his face, and Ling Xueji saw the confident light in her eyes, "I won't tell you."

Ling Xueji's eyes darkened.

"Ah, what are you going to do, stop—ah!"

"I told you not to tell me! I told you not to tell!!! You can't tell me! You can't tell me!!!"

"I said I said I said..."

……

----------

On the main seat in the lobby of General Mingwei's mansion, sat a light-colored figure. She was thin and thin, and when she looked at her from a distance, one could feel pity in her heart.The beauty has no bones and looks like autumn water. It was originally a beautiful picture, but it changed because of the horrified and pale face on her face.

Mrs. Mingwei sat alone on the chair, still immersed in the shock just now and unable to wake up.The man laughed at Yan Yan, but the deep meaning between the words made people think carefully.

"Ma'am, have you seen two treasures?"

"What is your lord asking?"

"The sword in the tiger's mouth, the needle in the tail of a long snake."

"...The courtier's wife is dull, I don't know what my lord means..."

"It doesn't matter if I don't know, after all, my wife has treasures that are more powerful than these two things."

"..."

"The two are not poisonous, but the most poisonous to a woman's heart."

----------

That night, because Ling Xueji said that he had something important to discuss with Qu Quan, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment had to take back his legs as he walked towards the Jinwuwei Youjie Yamen.She thought that she was not in a hurry anyway, some things are like brewing wine, if you cook and steam it in a hurry, it will destroy the ingredients inside, but if you are willing to go on board for a few years, wait for the berry flower juice to slow down in the meantime Slow fermentation, or you can receive a jar of mellow fine wine.

Jiji and Huamei passed by Lord Shangshu and his wife's dormitory many times, only to see the lights inside were dimly lit and whispered, wondering what ulterior plots and tricks they were thinking about.The two of them looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. Anyway, my lord and his wife should not quarrel or use force, and how they get along is none of their business.

In the early morning of the next day, Qu Quan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, returned to the early court. Many long-standing contradictions and secret schemes have already spread like spider webs.Qu Quan naturally knew what was waiting for her. Today, when the ink clouds were overwhelming the city, she felt depressed in every possible way when she came out, but these had no effect on her, she was used to it after so many years.

Stepping up the 72-level white marble imperial steps, the back of the purple court dress is trailing on the ground, sliding gently with her movements.The majestic palace towered into the eyes, and the sky was slightly white at this time, revealing a trace of clear sky light.Qu Quan suddenly felt his body lighten, as if something lightly tugged on his sleeves and caused his body to shake. Qu Quan subconsciously stood firm and looked around, except for the officials and officials who were far away from him who were rushing up the ranks. There are no other suspicious figures.

Standing on the spot and sighing self-deprecatingly, there is doubt in this voice, this is... not used to it again?

Just like the day when she first stepped on the snow-colored white marble in court clothes, she was suddenly top-heavy for a moment, and she suddenly thought of a nonsense theory, could it be that she and the emperor Mingtang were incompatible with each other by nature, and she was pregnant like her? People who want to get involved in the court for their own selfish interests shouldn't be wearing court clothes and holding a jade wat, standing in the court hall and admonishing the country.

But among these Xixi courtiers, which one has no selfish desires, and which one pretends to be all Li people?Even the majestic king who sits on the dragon chair and crowns——

"Master Qu, please stay safe."

Qu Quan was startled when he heard the words, "Dang Yueyan?"

Wei Yueyan looked at Qu Quan who was standing still, and also stopped and raised his eyebrows to look at her with interest. He didn't know how long he stood like this.Looking around, there were only a few courtiers walking forward on the white marble steps holding wat boards, but they were the only ones who stopped and stood in a daze without any sense of going up.

Wei Yueyan raised his hand and patted the tiger head accessories on his shoulders, as if he had been covered with dust after talking with the person opposite, "Master Qu has been on vacation for a long time, have you forgotten the time of the court?"

Qu Quan narrowed his eyes, and saluted her with a thin slit on his lips, "General Xie Wei reminded, but before reminding General Wei, it's better to check yourself, whether you are doing something stupid or not."

Wei Yueyan raised his eyebrows and leaned back, "Indeed, Mr. Qu said a word of warning, you and I are so close after a few months, I think it will be speculated by others." Glancing in the direction, he turned his head and clenched his fists, "Master Qu is slow to reward, I was going to take a step ahead."

Qu Quan watched her walk away speechlessly, and was about to leave when she stepped on the upper jade steps and her whole body was shaken.

Wei Yueyan's words just now seemed to be reminding herself of something... The two of them had already gone their separate ways, so why would they be criticized if they just said a few words?In fact, it is not the case, what Wei Yueyan meant was that they need to have a verbal battle in the court this time.

A battle of different routes leading to the same goal.

However, what shocked Qu Quan was not only the wonderful prelude at the beginning of this chapter. After entering the Ming Hall and worshiping the king, when the civil and military officials stood up and stood still on the golden hall, the wat boards in their hands were neatly held in rows.She was supposed to be the first to mention the great construction, but Wei Yueyan was the first to speak about the great hunting and hunting. Behind the gorgeous rhetoric that had been prepared, was the absurdity that killing a chicken to extract its eggs would not benefit the people's livelihood.

"If His Majesty permits, I will finally offer His Majesty the rare birds and animals in the Northern Cold Pole."

After some speeches were finished, there was a lot of discussion in the court, some in shock, some in anger, some in embarrassment, and some in appreciation, but they just lowered their heads and talked a lot, and no one stood up and said that the Twelve Guards General was in danger. It's not Yue Yan's fault, they may be out of fear or disdain, but all of them are waiting, waiting for the person who will definitely stand up and confront Wei Yueyan.

But at this time, this person didn't have the consciousness to stand up at all. General Wei Yueyan's old enemy, Shangshu Ququan of the Ministry of Punishment, stood on the spot with his head bowed and his wat in his hand, and he didn't see any movement of him.

Everyone was puzzled by this, even Wei Yueyan was sweating in her heart, she didn't know why she preempted Qu Quan's remarks, but she was still vaguely expecting something in her heart. Something seemed to have been waiting for several years, and then hesitated for several years. She always wanted to break open the hidden soil with her hands, and wanted to see what was inside, but those hidden buds did not disappear because of the sun and rain She was unwilling to dig through the dirt first to find out.She guessed that what was waiting for her inside was not necessarily the fresh green in her imagination, but it was also possible that the moment the soil was pushed away, a poisonous snake and fierce scorpion that had been dormant for many years came oncoming.

What exactly is in there?She didn't know it herself.

Facing this change, Emperor Yulong on the dragon chair didn't say yes or no. Like anyone else in the court, when Wei Yueyan made this proposal, his eyes fell on the one who was standing beside her, but seemed to be taken by surprise. A crimson figure that separates the two sides of the Chu River.The figure hadn't moved yet, which made him puzzled.

No one knew, only Qu Quan knew that she was not unwilling to stand up, nor was she trying to punish Yue Yan, but just because she was slandering...crazy slander!

The fool!The countermeasures discussed by Ling Xueji and Ling Qiufan should be her own remark. She is a civil servant, so she can naturally recommend generals of the same party to do meritorious service, and Wei Yueyan is almost adjacent to the crime of the meritorious leader General, isn't this fool throwing himself into a trap by saying these words?God knows that I wanted to rush out the moment her words fell, but instead of saying the planned words, I was swearing!

But after all, she was not allowed to curse, Qu Quan took a step, stood still with the wat, and bowed to the monarch on the high seat.

"My minister thinks that the general's proposal is really inappropriate."

Immediately after, Qu Quan analyzed the pros and cons of this move one by one. The words that should have been spoken by Wei Yueyan were swallowed by her, and what she spit out was clearly disciplined and resounding.During the period, Wei Yueyan naturally wanted to argue with him with disdain, the two of them came and went and refused to give in to each other, they all quoted scriptures and classics with witty words.Qu Quan was shocked by Wei Yueyan's tacit harmony, and Wei Yueyan was also shocked by Qu Quan's deliberation.

The two exchanged their positions and rhetoric, which is an extremely risky thing to do, but every time Wei Yueyan hesitated, Qu Quan would take it leisurely, and every time Qu Quan slipped a word for a moment, Wei Yueyan would take advantage of the situation to reverse the direction and drag the other party into the room. Smoother access.Emperor Yulong was not surprised by this. These two people were fighting against each other in the court, and they complemented each other. He had himself behind the scenes to help the flames. It didn't matter which was right and which was wrong. The only way to do it was to balance the forces in the court. .

After seeing enough of the blushing battle between the two, the monarch on the high seat issued an order to reject the injustice of Wei Yueyan, the general of the Twelve Guards, who relied on his meritorious deeds and disregarded the livelihood of the people. Alien beasts are divided into categories, and new laws must be promulgated within three days.

The wish of a young girl at the Bainiao Market, which was born out of pity, became true after a court battle that seemed to be true and false to calculate the king's heart.

The courtiers didn't know what was going on, they thought it was another battle between General Wei and Master Qu, General Wei lost.Only those two who were on the cusp of that battle knew that it was a win-win situation.

The same goal is different.

What's next?But know each other too late?

Qu Quan and Wei Yueyan were a little stunned when they came down to face this result. The distant sky was already full of brilliance, and the two people who were bathed in soft gold looked at each other blankly. Read the answer.

Is it too late to know each other?If anyone thinks this way first, don't blame him for dying without a place to bury him.

Dark lights flickered in the eyes, and the machine crossbows that were waiting for the momentum were all loaded, the bows were full of strings, and the arrows were ready to shoot, and clusters of shadows lurking under the tower waited for an opportunity to move.

If we had known each other a few years earlier, when the spring was full of flowers, would we have become friends?

This question is very good.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Even if you take off all your defenses to care about being late, you can only touch your hands and sigh involuntarily.
