Yijuan cloud

Chapter 145 Don’t indulge in beauty
I never expected that it would be Jiang Chujie.

Although he is a man who is good at maneuvering and especially likes to cling to the powerful. Because he is generous and can play games, he quickly became involved with Liang Xianyi and Tang Shou when he was in the northern border. But after all, he is just a businessman, and now he can blend in with them. Official career?

And he even came to Beijing.

If I could see Tianyan, wouldn't I be able to achieve great success in the future?
As the eunuch in charge of the internal affairs department left, Liang Xianyi's eunuch, Eunuch Du, arrived. He said respectfully, "Your Majesty asked me to bring someone to serve Miss Lin."

"But Linghua?" I asked hurriedly.

There are quite a few maids serving me, and they were brought here by Eunuch Du. It can be seen that they are not ordinary maids. Who else can there be besides Linghua?

Eunuch Du smiled and stood to one side, and said softly "Come in" to the outside of the curtain. A palace maid walked in quietly with her head lowered and her voice was gentle, saying: "Slave Wen Jin, please give your regards to Miss Lin."

I threw down my round fan, took a few steps forward, and said in surprise: "Sister! When did you come to Beijing?" As soon as I said this, I already thought that Jiang Chujie had also just arrived in Beijing. Could it be that Wen Jin came with Mr. Jiang? of?
"Miss Hui Lin, I entered the capital the day before yesterday, and today I have received the Holy Order to serve you, miss."

"Sister, why are you so polite?" I held her hand and was about to say something more. When I remembered that Eunuch Du was still here, I said to Wenluo, "Please invite Eunuch Du to have a cup of tea."

Eunuch Du smiled and said: "Thank you very much for the reward, girl. I didn't dare to accept it at first. It's just the rules in the palace. I don't dare to delay my return to the palace."

I said, "I know that the Emperor cannot live without you. How was the Emperor's breakfast today?"

"The palace hosted a banquet for the prince of the Rakshasa Kingdom today. The guests and hosts enjoyed the banquet and the emperor enjoyed the meal well."

"Very good, please go ahead and do your work, father-in-law." I smiled and winked at Wenluo. Wenluo then sent Eunuch Du out and waved all the palace people inside and outside the palace to leave.

After Wen Jin and I were left alone, I pulled her to sit on the soft couch and wanted to have a chat with her, but she refused to sit down no matter what, so I had to stand by the window with her to talk.

I asked her: "I heard that the wealthy businessman named Jiang is now an official and has also come to Beijing. You also came here. Are you with him?"

Wen Jin lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "When the Rakshasa Kingdom's envoy entered the country from the north, Governor Chiang was worried that the envoy could not understand the language, so he specially requested an order to accompany him. The slave can only come because the emperor is now the ninth highest honor, so then The prince's palace in the north is of course no longer needed. When Governor Chiang submitted a letter, he asked the emperor for instructions. The emperor may have thought that the slave could do things quickly in the past, so he asked the slave to serve the girl."

"He actually became the prefect. I thought he was a character before. It's really not that simple." I couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and said, "Thank you for coming. Everything is good here, but it's stuffy. There is not even anyone who can talk to me. When we were in the north, we still had you and Linghua. Now that Linghua’s whereabouts are unknown, we are the only two left. Sister, please don’t be cautious anymore. .”

Wen Jin said warmly: "Although I have worked with the girl before, the girl's nature is extraordinary. I still have to abide by the etiquette of honor and inferiority. Linghua..." Her face changed slightly, she paused, and then continued, "She was born in The Xu family, that is her life."

The Xu family was slaughtered. Although Wen Jin has been guarding the north, she can get no less information than me, so she must also lament the Xu family's plight.

Fortunately, she was not a slave born in the Xu family, and when something happened to the Xu family, she was not involved, so she would not be implicated.

But Linghua didn't have such good luck.

When I think of Linghua, I feel sad, but Wen Jin is new here, so I can't always mention these sad things, so I smiled and said:
"Look, after talking for so long, let's go and eat some pastries. I don't know what was added to the milk cakes that Mr. Jiang paid tribute to. They are more crispy and fragrant than what we eat in the north."

We were chatting while eating pastries, and I mentioned that Jiang Chujie also sent a horse. Wen Jin suddenly said: "Otherwise he could become the prefect so quickly, and it would be nothing to come back to Beijing to bring these food for fun. He also brought a girl with him. I think he is very ambitious and will sneak into the capital sooner or later."

I was stunned and said, "But you want to send someone to the palace?"

Wen Jin nodded: "The girl lives in Xiyuan, and there is not much news. The decree should be spread soon. The emperor's harem is empty, and the draft has not yet started. Of course, someone wants to send it to the palace. This is also appropriate, but regardless of No matter what kind of girl you send in, there is nothing to worry about based on the emperor's affection for the girl. The girl was originally the emperor's savior. Earlier, the emperor and you were kidnapped by the Mongols. This kind of life-threatening friendship is the most valuable. "

Wen Jin said this, but I am not worried. Sooner or later, the harem will be full, and Jiang Chujie will not send this one. Moreover, I know that Liang Xianyi has never been obsessed with beauty, but is just curious about the woman he sent, so he asked: "Then The woman must be very beautiful, right?"

Jiang Chujie opened a wine shop in the north. There were countless singers and actresses, all of whom were very good-looking. The one who could be sent to the palace must be of unparalleled appearance, and she might even be a foreign girl.

Wen Jin said: "It's natural to look good, but the emperor is wise and wise. What kind of stunning beauties have I not seen? Not to mention the two who were from far away, aren't they beautiful? I have never seen the emperor. What, you’re not a devoted girl? I’ll just talk to the girl in front of you, and the girl will know in her heart.”

I felt embarrassed and shy, so I picked up the tea bowl and pretended to drink tea, saying, "I'm just curious." Wen Jin pursed his lips and smiled, and said no more.

During these days, Liang Xianyi came back early every night, and it was the same today. It was just getting dark and I was having dinner when people came.

As soon as I came in, I smelled a faint smell of alcohol on his body, so I quickly asked Wenluo to make a bowl of sobering soup.

He wiped his hands with a towel, took my hand with a smile, sat down, and said, "Why are you having dinner so early? I thought that no one would come to deliver the message. I would have dinner with you when I got here. I didn't expect you." It’s so fast here.”

"Three meals a day are my top priority now. It's not like the emperor who has everything to do every day." I smiled and pointed to the table, "Besides, isn't the food on this table enough for the emperor?"

Liang Xianyi took a deep look at me, his eyes vaguely blurred. Just one glance, and the tenderness in it made my heart pound, and I thought to myself: He may have drank too much.

Just as she was worried about what he would do, his expression returned to normal and he said calmly to Wen Jin beside him: "Everyone, go down."

"Yes." Wen Jin responded softly and retreated.

As soon as the people in the room left, Liang Xianyi pulled me to his side, put his head in my arms, rubbed it gently, and said softly: "One day without seeing you is like three autumns. Sure enough, when I come out of the palace every day, I will Returning home is like an arrow.”

I sighed softly, held his head and said, "I met an old friend at the palace banquet today, but was he drunk?"

He stiffened for a moment, then raised his head and stretched out his arms for me to sit on his lap. He hugged me with one hand and admired the tea cup in his hand with the other. Humerus, heart and heart, I own this world, and he, like General Chang and Cao Junlei, has made great contributions."

I always thought that Jiang Chujie was introduced to Liang Xianyi by Tang Shou.

At that time, Liang Xianyi wanted to raise food.

A small local wealthy businessman wanted to make friends with powerful people, so he took advantage of the opportunity of donating food and became a guest at Liang Xianyi's house.

I thought Jiang Chujie was casting a wide net, and he latched on to all the dignitaries in Xuanhua. He became friends with Tang Shou, and the General Commander... He even used a famous sword to become friends with the cold-faced general Fan Li. .

Unexpectedly, the only one he really wanted to be with from the beginning to the end was Liang Xianyi.

Liang Xianyi wanted to find a job, but was struggling without money, so Cao Junlei roped in Jiang Chujie, a wealthy businessman he had met before, and asked Jiang Chujie to bribe Tang Shou with money and beautiful women, and made Tang Shou be indifferent to Liang Xianyi, mistakenly thinking that Liang Xianyi was just a boob. A wealthy prince with no ambitions.

Later, he recruited soldiers, capable people and strangers from all sides, and all the money needed was supplied and needed by Jiang Chujie.

……

They really played a big game of chess.

Liang Xian was surprised to see me, with a wild look in his narrow and deep eyes, and then he chuckled lightly and said: "If I hadn't been so careful at that time, I'm afraid I would have died soon. Did you know that the emperor asked me to go to the north to fight?" What's the idea? When my father was still alive, I went with General Chang to fight against Japanese pirates. Although General Chang treated me with disdain when we set out, and soon afterwards I went to Jiangnan to suppress the bandits, the emperor always suspected that I had a secret relationship with General Chang. Friendship, not to mention that General Chang fought bravely and had a large army, so the emperor ordered Tang Shou to follow. If General Chang and I made the slightest move, we would be killed. So at that time, thanks to Jiang Chujie, Tang Shou was able to Don’t stare at me too closely.”

"It must be very hard, right?" I stroked his cheek.

He shook his head slightly: "Fortunately, it was just a game. But there was one time that was really thrilling. The time you were taken away by Tang Shou, I just woke up after being seriously injured. I was anxious, but I was at a loss. I had to order Jiang Chujie to hold Tang Shou back. , and then try to think of something, luckily everything went smoothly, Jun Lei was there, and he helped the emperor to strictly organize Tang Shou. In fact, the time is not yet ripe for Tang Shou, and if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have taken action so quickly..."

I stared at his face and eyes for a moment and saw that such a gentle and handsome man was so cautious and deep in his heart.

He was drunk today and he should have really relaxed after telling all about the past.
