Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 396 Do You Want To Accompany Me?

"Shi Di complained of illness, and he did not go to court or go to the Yamen for two consecutive days.

"Han Dun was sent by Mrs. Bi to the mansion for questioning. No one knew what he said, but in the past two days, Han Dun has not seen any actions towards the historian.

"The Han family thanked guests behind closed doors. Except for Mrs. Mu who still goes to meet her sister every day, the women in the mansion have never left the house. It is said that Han Ning is really sick this time."

In the evening, He Lanzhun stood under the willow tree in the garden and reported the details to King Yan who was walking.

King Yan stroked Liu Si, who was hanging in front of his eyes, and said after a while, "That girl, you seem to be quite courageous this time."

He Lanzhun heard what he meant, looked at his back, raised her lips and did not speak.

King Yan picked a willow leaf and hit it on the lake.When the lake rippled, he said, "Let someone prepare the horse, and I'll go to Jishan Camp."

Shen Xi was feeding the cat in the school dormitory.

Not long ago, Jin Baiyin gave birth to a litter of cubs, and Shen Yan asked her to take the two to the schoolhouse to catch mice.

"The Han family has really stopped these few days. After all, Han Dun plans to send Han Ning away. I heard that it will be next month."

Qi Jiu brought her a basin of water from the side.

She, the shadow guard, is also very adept at taking on the job of a maid.

"Have you found out where to send it?" Shen Xi bent down to wash his hands.

"I don't know where to send it, but what is certain is that the An family will definitely not be able to go."

This matter has been spread like this, so the An family can't go.

Not only the An family, but also relatives related to the Han family are not allowed to go. If such a big incident happened, who would guess that it was her?

Shen Xi hummed, and thought about going to Zhang's house in about two days.

Qi Jiu picked up the cat with bound feet, and changed the subject by the way: "I'm afraid Shi Di has had the hardest time recently. After all, Shi Di is protected by Mrs. Bi. Liang Xiu has nothing. Even if there is a little emperor, The little emperor can't even protect himself."

Seeing Shen Xi looking over, she said, "Recently, there have been so many manuscripts for Liangxiu that there has been no precedent in history.

"Not only the censor, but also the subordinates of the Fifth Army Battalion, everyone seems to be trying their best to drive Liang Xiu to death.

"I heard that Liang Xiu couldn't help but lose his temper in court these two days."

"Fifth Army Battalion?" Shen Xi frowned.She had never heard Xiao Huai mention it.

"The Fifth Army Battalion doesn't have many books, but it has the potential to add fuel to the fire. Liang Xiu has a strong temper, and he is not as good at dealing with them as Han Dun and the others. Now he seems to be alone.

"Actually, I don't understand why the Fifth Army Battalion wanted to make trouble?"

Qi Jiu handed her the square handkerchief again.

Shen Xi wiped his hands absently.

If it was done by the Fifth Army Battalion, then Xiao Huai must know about it.So why would he do it?Aren't you afraid of breaking the current tacit understanding with the little emperor?
Concentrating her eyebrows and thinking carefully, she suddenly said again: "Carefully ask who are the candidates in the Fifth Army Battalion? Are they the prince's pro-army or the late emperor's pro-army?"

"Girl, Lord Helan is here."

Just at this moment, a woman's voice sounded at the gate of the courtyard, and when she looked up again, she saw that she was leading He Lanzhun in the moon white brocade robe over.

"Why are you here at this time?" Shen Xi also walked over.

The last time I saw him was at Shen Ruopu's birthday party, and it was just a quick glimpse that day.

He Lan looked at her earnestly: "The sun is already setting, why don't you go back?"

"The prince went to the palace and said he wanted me to wait for him here."

She took the tea brought by the mother-in-law and placed it in front of him, brushed the hair that was blown on her face by the wind, and sat down at the stone table.

Holding the cup, He Lanzhun said, "I heard that you took back the house in Zhongmingfang?"

Shen Xi noticed that he said "come back", turned to look at him, and nodded.

"Well. I'm also very angry. I want to blackmail them. They will definitely not give you a good house. I just remembered that when I met you there last time, there was a house there that belonged to their family, so I opened my mouth like that. .”

She was not afraid that Han Dun would know that she was Zhang Ying, and they would certainly not announce this knowledge to the public.

Because it's not good for them to announce it, except that it makes people think that their Han family is mentally ill.

But she didn't want people in Yan Wang's mansion to know that Yan Wang was shrewd, and He Lanzhun was also a smart individual.Although she knows to trust him, she doesn't want him to know too many of her secrets.

"Then what are you going to do with it?" He Lan Zhun asked.

Shen Xi fished the cat over, and calmly pulled it down: "I haven't decided what to do yet, after all, it's just a momentary show. But I don't rule out tidying it up and using it as my other courtyard."

He Lanzhun turned his head to look at her, tapped the table with his fingers, and looked up at the courtyard.

Shen Xi couldn't help but said, "You came to me for this matter?"

She didn't think it deserved his attention.

Or was it because of some taboo committed by this house that aroused King Yan's suspicion?
He didn't give a definite answer, but said: "It's just an abandoned mansion, there are too many historic mansions in the capital, no one will stare at you because of this.

"It's just that your house will take a lot of time to repair. Besides, after all, you haven't lived in it for so long, and you don't lack a place to live. Why don't you wait until everything is settled before you get it?"

Shen Xi didn't plan to take the house to live in right away, Han Dun is still alive, and she and Xiao Huai are not married yet, at least she has to wait until this mess is settled before she has the energy to repair the house.

She even shelved the matter of Prince An's Mansion for the time being, so why would she be in a hurry?
She smiled and said, "I thought the prince said something."

She remembered the look he gave her outside the door of King Yan's room when he was in Dongxiang Tower.

It was also strange at the time, he didn't say anything, but she understood it.

And just now she didn't say anything, but he seemed to see through her too.

"Didn't want to visit the house?" He said suddenly.

Shen Xi concealed it casually: "It's just an abandoned house, why worry about it?" But after she finished speaking, she changed her words: "I was thinking about going there in two days."

His brows and eyes darkened.

Shen Xi's heart moved slightly, and he asked, "Do you want to go with me?"

It sounded a little rude, but he looked so much like Xu Jing, when she went back to Zhang's house, she suddenly wanted to take him with her.

After all, if you can't see your old friend, it's good to have the face of your old friend by your side...

Maybe people can empathize with familiar things, every time she sees him, she can't help but transfer her trust in Xu Jing to him.

There is nothing unnatural between men and women.

It was like meeting each other late, the feeling of getting along with each other became more and more serious with the passage of time.

However, he probably wouldn't agree to this kind of request, after all, she wasn't very serious when she asked it.

"Okay." He Lanzhun put one hand on the stone table, was silent for a moment, but agreed to her.

Shen Xi paused for a moment, nodded, and it was decided.Then she said, "By the way, how is Yan Sui?"
