Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 369
Shen Xi only felt that the meal was undercurrent, but every time he pursued it, there was no trace to escape.

Soon Xiao Er served the food.

The seats in the West Lake Tower are also divided into first, second and third class. If his elder son wants to treat guests, of course the highest standard is required to match his ostentation.

When the food is eaten here, the atmosphere will ease up.

It was the first time for Shen Yan to eat at the same table with a man from the palace, Xiao Huai and He Lanzhun were fine, one had long since lost sight of majesty in front of her second sister, and the other was originally a modest gentleman, so there was no pressure on her.

Only Huo Jiusuri's image in the eyes of the world is too cold, and seeing him being executed in Dongxiang Tower that time, so he always has a sense of awe for him for no reason.

It's all because of Ji's beating and scolding her too deeply in the past, which made her always have some shadows.

"Girl, Wang'er is here."

They were discussing where the fish is the most authentic, when suddenly Qi Jiu came in.

Shen Xi turned his head outside, and sure enough, he saw Wang'er waiting under the porch.

She was about to get up, Xiao Huai held her down, turned her head and said, "What's the matter?"

Wang'er heard the words and hurried in, bowed and said: "If you return to the son, our old master will be promoted, and now the mansion is full of people, officials from the six ministries have come to congratulate, and several masters have also returned to the mansion.

"The eldest lady is afraid that there will be too many people making trouble for the girls, so she asked the girls if there is anything important? If there is nothing important, it is best to go back later."

Because Shen Xi knew about Shen Ruopu's entry into the cabinet, she didn't take such a big matter to heart.

Now that he heard that the mansion was full of people, Fang then remembered that starting today, the Shen family is destined to take another step closer to the center of the whirlpool.

This eligibility to join the cabinet is not based on political achievements, but on the basis of power struggles among several parties. If Shen Ruopu can't stand this test, he may become a victim.

If they can withstand it, then it goes without saying about the future of the Shen family.

"I don't have anything important, I'll go back later," she said.

Mrs. Huang has been in charge of housework for so long, so she should be able to handle it.

And even if she couldn't handle it, she had to learn to handle it, she didn't have to worry about everything.

"In that case, let's go see Mr. Yan after dinner." Chen Yan suggested.

Shen Xi has nothing to do.Zuo Zuo today's Shushu is not open, so you can wander around at will.

After eating here, the original team went to the small courtyard where Liu Menglan and the others lived.

Before boarding the car, Shen Xi found an opportunity to ask Xiao Huai: "Liu Menglan is the imperial physician of Qin Palace, will Huo Jiu notice it and tell the prince?"

Xiao Huai frowned and said: "If the surname Liu doesn't say it himself, why would he suspect that he is a former imperial physician for no reason?"

Shen Xi nodded.

And under the eaves of this side room, He Lanzhun straddled his horse and asked Huo Jiu, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to Nancheng to check the Iron Eagle Sect." Huo Jiu got on his horse and leaned over to pat "Aurora" on the head.

He Lanzhun's eyes dimmed slightly, and he said, "After all, the school is yours, why don't you go and see Yan Sui too."

Huo Jiu wanted to refuse, but He Lanzhun had already whipped his horse lightly.

So a group of five people arrived at the small courtyard.

Liu Menglan had received a message from Wu Teng in advance, and knew that many important people would be here today, so even though she complained about the Tuoba people, she still respectfully greeted them under the porch.

Xiao Huai and He Lanzhun just glanced at him before entering the room.

Dressed neatly, Yan Sui stood under the screen and bowed to them, the injuries on his body made it difficult for him to do this, Xiao Huai looked at it briefly, then raised his hand to wake him up, and sat down in the grand master's chair brought by Su Yan.

Shen Xi saw that Yan Sui was struggling to stand, so he asked someone to bring a stool, and seeing that there were many people in the room, he called out some more.

Shen Yan had just come along by the way, and then exited the room knowingly.

In the yard there is a pod of winter jasmine, which is already full of green buds, and a few small plantains are planted under the vines, and two little yellow ducks are playing in the small ditch between the plantains and the eaves of the corridor.

She took off two leaves and threw them over. The duckling quacked twice, and she laughed.

Huo Jiu stepped out of the threshold, turned his head and saw the little figure in light yellow clothes.

Shen Yan can't completely regard herself as a young girl, after all, she was already married as a woman when she died in her previous life.

She felt that her heart was much more vicissitudes than Shen Xi's, but she was not as capable as her to navigate various risks.

But when she is happy, she will still unconsciously release some nature.

Especially since the arrival of Shen Xi, who turned the situation around in the Shen family, she is now fully qualified to be a quiet lady of the family, and she no longer has to keep those unbearable past events in her heart.

She is very fortunate to have a sister like Shen Xi.

With her here, she did avoid many detours.

But she still didn't dare to laugh too much. Ji Shi used to say that she laughed like a seductive vixen, and this sentence always stuck in her heart like a thorn.

Standing under the door, Huo Chuan saw with cold eyes that her originally bright face gradually dimmed, and finally her charming face returned to tranquility.

"Miss Yan, Miss Xi let you in, it's cold outside."

Xu Rong came over to deliver a message.

Shen Yan stood up with a groan, flicked her skirt and turned around, and saw Huo Jiu standing on the porch holding his sword.

Huo Jiu glanced at her, and walked down the yard slowly.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and looked back: "Are you afraid of the cold?"

For some reason, Shen Yan felt that this sentence was asking her.But it’s nonsense, it’s only February, and the ice has just been broken, who isn’t afraid of the cold?

"There's a place where it's not cold, do you want to go?" Huo Jiu walked over with crossed hands and said slowly.

Shen Yan still didn't say anything.Why does his words sound so like flirting with Hanako...

"I'm going to the kitchen to light the fire and roast taro, will you go?" Huo Jiu said again.

Roasted taro?
Shen Yan was a little messed up. He is a majestic supervisor, the first-class cruel official in the world, and he wants to take her, the newly minted young lady of Ge Laofu, to light a fire to roast taro?

When Xu Rong returned to the room, Shen Xi was telling Yan Sui what He Lanzhun had said.

Yan Sui stared at He Lanzhun for a long time, then stood up from the chair Yu Cai had sat down on: "Mr., how can Yan Lu repay you for your kindness?"

Xiao Huai sneered: "I don't know if it's true."

All the people in the room looked at him, especially Shen Xi's eyes.

He had no choice but to clear his throat and add: "If you don't want to be with him, you can stay in my Zhaoyang Palace to do the history."

Only then did Shen Xi turn his gaze back to Yan Sui's face.

Yan Sui thought about it, and said seriously: "Your Majesty's kindness, Yan Sui appreciates it.

"It's just that Yan Sui doesn't have the strength to restrain a chicken, and his knowledge is only half-baked, so he might become a burden to the prince.

"It's better for me to learn from Mr. He Lan first. In the future, my son will be called, and it won't be too late to serve him."

Shen Xi appreciated his neither humble nor overbearing.

He Lanzhun also nodded: "Then pack up your things and follow me to Osmanthus Alley, we will wait for you outside."

Said he got up and went out.

Shen Xi looked around the room, and then remembered to ask Xu Rong: "Where's Sister Yan?"

Xu Rong held back for a long time before saying: "Master Huo said that the fire is not cold, so he took Miss Yan to the kitchen to roast taro and eat it."

"Roasted taro?"

The corner of Shen Xi's mouth twitched.
