The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 262 Rituals
Xie Zhifei knew that he recognized Li Buyan, so he didn't explain, and smiled lightly.

"Where can the second brother sit? The third brother can toast the prince later."

"Third brother is in good health. Wen Yu and I should come over."

Xie Buhuo smiled and said, "By the way, where are you sitting, brother? Who did you come with?"

Xie Erli: "I came here with my colleagues from the Hanlin Academy. It's our old place, with plum blossoms on the second floor. My second brother comes over to play when he has time."

Xie Buhuo waved his hand, "The Hanlin Academy is full of very smart scholars. My eldest brother also knows that I am most afraid of scholars, so I didn't come over to propose a toast."

Xie Erli nodded slightly: "Alright."

"Brother, I'll go first."

"Go!"

Xie Buhuo walked out of the yard quickly. When there was no one around, his steps suddenly slowed down.

Taking someone else's maid out to go shopping, what is Xie Laosan doing?
Did the elder brother not recognize that the person was Li Buyan, or was he pretending to be confused because he understood?
He touched his forehead with his bony hand, and whispered to Wu Xing behind him: "You don't have to follow me, keep an eye on Li Buyan secretly."

"Yes."

After Xie Erli watched the second child leave, he patted the third child heavily on the shoulder twice, turned around and left without saying anything.

Li Buyan looked at this scene and thought to himself that it would be great if Yan Sanhe was here, he would definitely be able to see something.

In her mind, she could only see that the three brothers were in harmony.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Mr. Pei revealed the secret here.

"Is the toast a fake one? Let He see us sitting together with the scholars and laugh at our incompetence. Is it true? Damn, who is he?"

Mr. Xie crossed his legs and said, "You don't care!"

"Who cares about him?"

Little Mr. Pei sneered again and again.

"I just can't get used to his obsessive behavior. Oh, third brother is here too. Why are you pretending? Who doesn't know that where there is little Mr. Pei, there is you Xie Sanye."

Third Master Xie's eyes were astonishingly bright like cold stars. He looked up at Li Buyan and said, "When you go back, remember to tell your master about the injustice Third Master suffered for her during this trip."

Li Buyan patted his chest with a "It's all wrapped up in me" expression, and then added mysteriously.

"How about... I go teach him a lesson for you?"

Don't say it.

The shit stirrer is quite righteous!
"Sit down and don't go anywhere today. He just recognized you."

Xie Zhifei looked at Zhu Qing and Huang Qi again and whispered, "Second brother is here, you two should be more careful."

"Yes!"

Zhu Qing and Huang Qi left again.

Li Buyan muttered, "So what if I recognize him", but sat down honestly.

Before going out, Sanhe specifically told her to only listen to Master San's orders in everything and never act on her own.

"Have you heard that the old censor's family was robbed yesterday?"

The discussions among the scholars nearby became louder and louder, and it was difficult not to listen.

"Stole what?"

"This is not stealing. I poured chicken blood all over the old censor's courtyard. I heard that I almost scared the old servants to death."

"Killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, this is a warning to the old censor, don't toast and eat as a penalty."

"It's probably the old gelding's accomplice who did it."

"Under the emperor's feet, the world is bright and clear. Isn't it possible that there is no king's law?"

"Wang Fa? Look at the old castrated dog's house. It's more grand than the house of a second-grade official. It's filled with gold and silver, and it's full of civil and military officials. Who dares to fart?" "I also heard that , Last spring, someone led the way to the old gelding, and he really hit the mark."

"Snapped--"

When a scholar heard this, he burst out in anger and said, "This is fraud, and the nine tribes should be punished."

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down."

The accomplice hurriedly pulled the person down, "Things that have no roots are all hearsay. Be careful that trouble comes from your mouth, trouble comes from your mouth!"

Pei Xiao silently kicked Xie Zhifei: That old guy stretched out his hand to Chunwei, is it true?

Xie Zhifei shook his head: Never heard of it.

Pei Xiao sneered: There can be no fire without smoke!

Xie Zhifei sighed silently: This matter has nothing to do with us.

At this moment, Zhu Qing came back again, walked up to the third master, bent down and whispered a few words in his ear.

Xie Zhifei's expression changed slightly.

After Zhu Qing left, he looked up at the two people in front of him, all four eyes staring at him eagerly. After thinking for a while, he dipped his index finger into some tea and wrote one word on the table: Sun!

Pei Xiao: "..." Huairen is there too?
Li Buyan: "..." Are there any men in this world who don't go shopping?
Seeing that the two people understood, Xie Zhifei quickly wiped it with his hand, and then wrote another word on the table: Han.

Pei Xiao was stunned: Damn, why is this bitch here?

Li Buyan was also shocked and stunned: My mother, you are not going to start a fight today!

Xie Zhifei didn't look at the shock on the faces of the two people, but only had a doubt in his heart——

With Huairen's status, it was rare for him to come to the Jiaofang Department. Was it to see the oiran, or had something happened?

……

There is a large lake in the back garden of Jiaofangsi, with an exquisite water pavilion on the east and west sides of the lake.

This is the most secluded place in the entire Jiaofangsi, with seats reserved only for the nobles in the palace.

Zhao Yishi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the lighted place on the other side of the lake. Xiu Jie's eyes were filled with an unshakable gloom.

Someone came in.

He turned around.

Shen Chong: "Your Highness, I have inquired clearly. Among the candidates for the Oiran, there is indeed a girl named Zhuxiang. The girl Zhuxiang's former maiden name was indeed Su Yufen."

As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground fell to the ground, "Your Highness, it's her. I beg Your Highness to show mercy."

The kneeling man's name is Wang Xian, the magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture. Two hours ago, he rushed to the Zhang family in the capital just for Su Yufen.

Su Yufen's father, Su Shen, once served as the prefect of Hailing Prefecture. Hailing was hit by a flood five years ago. The court allocated disaster relief funds. Su Shen, together with a group of officials in Hailing, boldly extended their hands to the disaster relief funds.

After the Dongchuang incident occurred, the emperor was furious. With a wave of his imperial pen, all the officials involved were confiscated and exiled.

Su Yufen was Su Shen's youngest daughter. Because she was young and beautiful, she was sent to the Jiaofang Division in the capital. She was only 13 years old at the time.

When Wang Xian was young, he was favored by Su Shen.

When the two of them went to Beijing together to take the exam, the king became ill on the way, so Su Shen paid for him and hired a doctor for him, and took care of him personally for two days and two nights.

The two of them were elected at the same time, and were promoted to official positions at the same time. They helped each other in the officialdom, and their friendship was extraordinary.

The Su family's copying was not unjust, so Wang Xian had no other choice but to feel sorry for his friend.

Half a month ago, Wang Xian received a letter from Su Shen's eldest son. The letter stated that his father had died of illness in the place of exile, and begged Wang Xian to help Su Yufen, a gang member of the Jiaofang Division, for the sake of his past friendship.

Wang Xian meditated hard at home for three days, put 1 taels of silver in his arms, rushed to the capital a thousand miles away, passed through the Zhang family, and found His Highness Taisun.

What he wants is to help Su Yufen win the title of oiran.
