Chapter 140 Different minds
After dinner, Jiang Xiyuan and Xia Chu had an irreconcilable bickering for a while, the sky was dark and the water was heavy, and it was hard to sit in the yard anymore, so they went back to their houses to rest.

Lying on the bed, Xia Chu took out the grape jade pendant again, and gently stroked the carved lines with his fingers.In dim light, the grapes are so dark they seem ripe again.

Jiang Xiyuan estimated the price of this pendant at five to eight taels of silver, because there is a crack in this piece of purple jade. Although the craftsman handled it skillfully, it would not be obvious if you didn't look carefully, but it would still affect the price.

But she didn't care, and she believed that Su Zhen wouldn't care either.

She sighed softly, carefully put the pendant back into the brocade bag, and put it in the bag properly.She hadn't given anything to Su Zhen yet, so she didn't expect that the first gift would be a wedding gift.

What is it called?Do you hate to meet when you were not married?Thinking about it at the beginning of Xia, she felt that it was wrong. She is not married yet.Or should it be called Hate Not Meeting My Daughter?Career and love can not have both?It doesn't seem right again.

After much deliberation, there is no way to put it down, that slow warmth, that little throbbing and ambiguity, that kind of beauty that flows quietly in my heart.If there is a hypocritical text description, it is probably: everything is over before it starts, the relationship between me and you only exists in the imagination built by myself, like a drop of dew on the tip of a lotus in the morning, only a moment of light when the sun rises, There is nowhere to look for it.

very sour.Xia Chu pursed his lips and smiled, turned over, buried his face in the pillow, and read softly: Huang Zhen.

She has never called his name before, maybe she can try calling him next time we meet.

I fell asleep thinking wildly, and opened my eyes again, it was dawn, the window paper was turning white, and falling asleep in melancholy turned out to be a night without dreams.Xia Chu felt that his heart was still quite big.

After breakfast, I went to settle the rent, but the waiter told me that the money had already been settled by the driver of Guanyang Yamen.Xia Chu felt that it was inappropriate, but Jiang Xiyuan didn't say anything, and dragged her on the road.

At that time, Su Zhen was sitting silently on the soft couch in the imperial study room, listening to the Ministry of Rites's reciting list with disinterestedness, and recited the betrothal gifts that he was going to send to Jiang's mansion.

These are things that can be followed, and most of the changes in the etiquette department will not make any major mistakes.Compared to this, Su Zhen wanted to know when Chu Xia would come, and what gift she said she would bring for herself.

He was looking forward to it, and after looking forward to it, he forced himself not to look forward to it.

Ever since he realized that his emotions were being controlled by Xia Chu, he knew that he had made a mistake, so he couldn't continue to let himself be wrong.

Back then, Su Yi fell in love with a man, devoted his infatuation to him, and ended up ruined.Su Zhen didn't understand it then, and he didn't understand it now, thinking that Su Yi wouldn't be a good emperor just because of this.The emperor should be like his father, who only likes but not loves, and should be like this for people and things.

If he wanted to be a good emperor, he shouldn't be influenced by anyone. It was a dangerous thing.

He finds it easy to forget.No matter whether it is a man or a woman, whether it is friendship or love, it is just that love grows with time, and love fades when separated.Zuo is nothing more than returning to the boring and rigid life in the palace where they never met each other in the beginning.Anyway, he's gotten used to it over the years.

He doesn't believe that he will be bound by feelings, and he doesn't believe that he can become an infatuated person like Su Yi, he really doesn't believe it.

Su Zhen lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, a little self-deprecating, a little disdainful.For Chu Xia, no matter what kind of emotion it is, it should stop here.It is not too late to make amends.

"Your Majesty, is it so appropriate to accept the lottery?" The Minister of Rites closed the gift list and asked cautiously.

"Huh?" Su Zhen came back to his senses and nodded casually, "Just prepare accordingly."

"Yes." The Minister of Rites smiled relaxedly, and took out another list, "There is also a list of the items to be collected, my minister..."

Su Zhen frowned slightly, and waved his hands, "I'm tired. Just follow the rules, you can figure it out."

The Minister of Rites bowed down, not daring to say any more. He raised his eyes and looked at An Liang. An Liang stepped forward to take the two forms in his hand and put them on the couch table beside him. The Minister of Rites cupped his hands Retired.

After the Minister of Rites left, Su Zhen stared at the two checklists on the couch table, the imperial study was so silent that even the light smoke from the stove almost made a sound.After a while, Su Zhen suddenly stood up and walked out, An Liang was startled, and hurriedly followed, "Your Majesty, are you going out of the palace?"

Su Zhen paused, turned back to look at him with a half-smile, and looked at An Liang almost terrified, wondering if he had said something wrong, so he stammered, "I think today is a good day..."

"What else?" Su Zhenyun asked lightly.

An Liang didn't think that Su Zhen was really calm, he swallowed his saliva, shook his head, "No..., no, it's just... God, that's right."

"Yeah." Su Zhen took a deep breath with his hands behind his back, thought for a while and said, "It's not bad, let's make some arrangements, I want to practice my fists and kicks." After saying that, he walked out quickly, and the sleeves of his clothes fluttered when he walked.

An Liang hurriedly responded, followed Su Zhen and trotted out of the imperial study room, went out and looked around but couldn't find Min Feng's figure, he couldn't help but secretly groaned.

In the past two days, he felt that something was wrong with Su Zhen. He seemed to be very energetic. Apart from critiquing papers, he would discuss matters with ministers. When he was free, he would go to Yuwei to practice fists and kicks. That style of play seemed to him to be a bit provocative and provocative. .I didn't go back to the bedroom until I was too tired, and fell asleep.

In fact, it's not bad, but it just doesn't feel right.An Liang looked at Su Zhen's tall and straight back, and wiped the sweat off his neck.Xin said, these days are so f*ckingly tense!

Near noon, Jiang Xiyuan and Xia Chu entered Xijing City and went straight to the government office. After the car stopped, Xia Chu got out first, and hopped and limped in.Jiang Xiyuan came down after her, looking at her and secretly smiling.

Xia Chu entered the police room, only Wang Huai and Qiu Cai were in the room, "Where's Xu Lu?" she asked.

"There is a wounding case in the east of the city. Brother Xu brought people there. If you have anything to tell me, I will handle it." Qiu Cai got up and said, his eyes glanced at Xia Chu's ankle, "Boss, your foot is What's wrong?"

Xia Chu waved his hand, "My feet are fine. Now, Qiu Cai, go to Baicao Village and bring Yu Wenping."

"What? The case has been solved?" Qiu Cai stepped forward and asked, the loud Xia Chu frowned.

"Talk down, you will be deafened sooner or later." Xia Chu pulled out his ear, "There is progress, you bring the person first, and you have to interrogate."

"Okay!" Qiu Caili replied, turned around and was about to leave, Wang Huai stepped in from the side and grabbed Qiu Cai, then turned to Xia Chu and said, "Boss, you don't plan to use me anymore, do you?" ?"

Xia Chu blinked, "Where is this?" She saw that Wang Huai's face was slightly flushed, and his expression was very complicated, like angry or crying, and then she remembered the previous thing, so she turned to smile and said: "Masters! Yes, why should I be so aggrieved by a trivial matter. I have been too busy to find you recently, and I have no other intentions. Don't think too much about it, just do your work and investigate the case."

"Then I..."

"Go to Baicao Village with Qiu Cai and bring someone over." Xia Chu patted Wang Huai's shoulder lightly, and gave him an encouraging smile, "Bring people, try to disturb as little people as possible."

Wang Huai and Qiu Cai went out to set up the car together. Seeing that Wang Huai's face was still gloomy, Qiu Cai comforted him and said, "I said, you really can't do it. The boss is not the kind of person who wears shoes for people. people, think too much about you."

Wang Huai led the horse over and handed it to Qiu Cai, still with a stern face, said firmly: "Hold the car."

Qiu Cai was also a little unhappy and didn't take the reins, "Why are you giving me a face? I didn't offend you. You are not superior to others and I will not be inferior to you. Who are you ordering?"

Wang Huai sneered and said, "Aren't you inferior to others? Why did Xu Lu ask you to do these two days and you just went there? I asked you to get a car when I was so embarrassing, and you have so much talk?"

Qiu Cai was also annoyed, "You bastard! You're so tyrannical with me, why didn't you even fart in front of the boss just now! You've got face?" He snorted, "Don't talk about the boss, You are half as capable as Xu Lu, and I'd rather call you a god." He spat, thinking about what he had told Xia Chu in his heart, and he didn't want to make things ugly in the government office, so he slowed down To calm down, he snatched the rein from Wang Huai's hand and put the car on.

Wang Huai felt aggrieved and gritted his teeth in hatred.He has always looked down on Qiu Cai, but today when Chu Xia entered the door, he went straight to Qiu Cai, pretending that he didn't exist.In the past, he always brought someone with him when he went out to do errands, but today Xia Chu said he should follow Qiu Cai.

"You can't get in the car!" Qiu Cai roared.Wang Huaiyun breathed a sigh of relief, jumped into the car and got into the trunk without saying a word.

Wang Huai's embarrassment was actually not taken seriously at the beginning of Xia.If Wang Huai hadn't mentioned it, Xia Chu would have forgotten the quarrel between him and Xu Lu before.The reason why she asked Qiu Cai to bring Yu Wenping was entirely because Qiu Cai had been to Baicaozhuang before, and he brought Yu Wenping back from Xingzhou, so he was relatively familiar with it.

At this time, Xia Chu was sitting in the police room holding a cattail fan to fan the wind, how could he know Wang Huai's mood.

Jiang Xiyuan pushed the door open and came in, he was taken aback when he saw the palm-leaf fan in Xia Chu's hand, "How do you use the palm-leaf fan?"

Xia Chu paused in his hand, and glanced at the palm-leaf fan inexplicably, "What's the use of a fan without a palm-leaf fan? A knife?"

"Where's the fan I gave you?" Jiang Xiyuan said as he walked in, heading straight for the cabinet where the files were placed.Xia Chu followed his lead and asked, "What fan?"

As soon as Jiang Xiyuan opened the cabinet door, he saw the brocade box lying crookedly in the dark corner of the cabinet, with an aggrieved look like a pearl covered in dust.He looked at the box in a daze, and suddenly felt that he was as wronged as this gift.

Xia Chu came over curiously, followed his gaze, saw the box, and couldn't help laughing, "Is this box yours, sir? Whose belongings should I say? Such a delicate thing can be seen at first glance." It's not for fast arrest." She shook the big cattail fan a few times, "I don't worry about losing it here, so put it away quickly."

"Chu Xia!" Jiang Xiyuan gritted his teeth and stared at her, "Didn't you open it to take a look? You're not curious about what it is? Where did your usual cleverness go?"

Xia Chu felt that the origin of Jiang Xiyuan's evil fire was unclear, so he looked at him with a little displeasure, "Speak up if you have something to say, and I didn't offend you. It's not mine, so it's wrong if I don't open it? Besides, what does it have to do with whether I'm smart or not, and where is my trembling, and what's wrong with you, my lord?"

Jiang Xiyuan was angry with her, not because she was arguing with him, but because she betrayed her own will by being so righteous.He took out the box and slammed it on the table, "Open!"

Xia Chu was startled by Jiang Xiyuan's actions, looked at the box and at him, sat down on the chair with a cold face, waved the cattail fan and said, "No!"
