The rebirth of the first daughter is not easy to mess with

Chapter 886 Tripartite Talks
Shangguan Ning led Si Mian all the way into Shoukang Garden, Jiang Shi and Shangguan Yue were already sitting on the chairs in the hall, Shangguan Jin sat alone under Ning Shi, Cui Shi and Shangguan Lian, who hadn't shown up for a long time, were next to each other With Shangguan Xue sitting on Jiang's right hand.

The concubines were of low status, they had to wait until before eating to enter the door, even so, the hall was still very lively, there hadn't been such a scene in Shoukang Garden for many years.

Ning looked at the elegant and handsome Si Mian in front of him, his eyes slowly turned red again, this kid is really upright, he looks like a good boy.

The corners of Si Mian's lips hooked slightly, and he smiled slightly, his slender body bent slightly.

"Meet grandma!"

"Hey!"

Ning's tears could no longer be held back, and the cry of grandmother should make all the tears in Ning's eyes pour out.

"Mother Jia, give the blood inkstone and jade plate to Mian'er."

Blood inkstone, one or two hundred gold, jade plate decorated with tourmaline, one thousand taels of silver, Ning is really willing to part with it!

"Thank you grandma!"

Si Mian's attitude was calm, and he followed the rules in every word and deed. Others might not be able to see it, but Shangguan Ning felt a sense of alienation. That's right, how could a child who was abandoned by his biological father have no grievances? With the ability, it should be easy to check what you want.

"This is father, mother!"

Shangguan Ning glanced at the expressionless Shangguan Jin, sneered secretly, and directly added Jiang's together when introducing, who knows what Shangguan Jin had in mind, it was better not to make the scene ugly.

Si Mian turned to face Shangguan Jin. The two were officials in the same dynasty, one civil and one military, and there was no conflict. It's just that Shangguan Ning's mother and daughter were framed back then, and after that, Shangguan Jin's indifference makes people feel chilling , even now Shangguan Jin's complexion is cold, Si Mian lowered his brows.

"I have seen my father and my mother!"

The word "Father" seemed to be spit out between the teeth, but looking at Si Mian's expression carefully, it was as calm as a mirror.

"Get up!"

Shangguan Jin asked Quan An to pass a brocade box.

Quan An opened it in front of Si Mian, inside was a set of jade pen holders and a few jade-tube brushes with white wolf tails, the quality of the things was not bad, but it was inevitable that there was a perfunctory intention, but Si Mian didn't find anything. Accept it with a smile.

"Mother doesn't know what Mian'er likes, so she prepared it randomly!"

With a shy stomach, Jiang asked Baimei to bring up the gift she had prepared long ago. Shangguan Ning glanced sideways. What his mother prepared was a set of carving tools. Each carving knife was made of red gold with curly cloud patterns carved on its handle. The blade is shiny, and the box containing the carving knife is engraved with the words 'Ghost Hand Xiao Qi'.

Apart from reading, Si Mian loves sculpture the most. Xiao Qi, the most famous master of sculpture in Dayong, passed away many years ago. The random preparations that Jiang said really took great pains.

Si Mian couldn't help being moved, not many people knew about his hobby, even Shangguan Ning himself had never said it himself, but Jiang's gift really made him feel warm.

"Si Mian thanked father and mother!"

The word mother is especially true!

"This is my aunt!"

"aunt!"

"Good boy!"

Lu Zhuer, who was with her, presented a set of ancient books, and Shangguan Ning smiled slightly. Aunt's gift must be in line with elder brother's wishes. She had heard that this set of ancient books from Yunshantang was elder brother's favorite in her previous life, but she didn't expect that in her previous life, elder brother It is God's will that the ancient books that I have worked so hard to find will be given away by my aunt in this life!

Si Mian's eyes really lit up!
"Thank you auntie!"

Shangguanyue looked at Si Mian, this child fit her eyes very well.

"This is Third Aunt!"

Shangguan Ning thought for a while and said, originally an aunt should not be introduced on such an occasion, but thinking of the grievances between Shangguan Hongqun and the mother and daughter of the third aunt, Shangguan Ning opened his mouth softly.

Ning's complexion was slightly stagnant, but he didn't say anything.

"Third Aunt!"

Si Mian didn't have any surprises at all, since Shangguan Ning introduced him to him, he just called out along the way.

Cui was a little surprised, but quickly calmed down, raised her hand and took out a white suet jade pendant from her bosom.

"Congratulations to the young master for returning home!"

Shangguan Ning introduced Shangguan Xue, Shangguan Lian, Shangguan Ying, and Shangguan Honghu.

Hu Qiao who came later gave gifts to several juniors one by one.

After the recognition of relatives was over, Ning looked very annoyed at Shangguan Jin's unsmiling face, and she became more warm and friendly to Si Mian.

"Mian'er, have you suffered a lot these years?"

Ning's words were to the point, but not polite.

"If you go back to grandma, it's just that the livelihood is more difficult, and it's not hard work!"

"Poor child, this is the heart of grandma!"

Ning didn't know what she thought of, but she shed tears again, looking at Si Mian with gentle eyes that dripped water.

Ning's spirit was very good, and she intermittently asked a lot about Si Mian's childhood. Although Si Mian briefly brushed it off, Ning still couldn't help but shed tears and felt even more guilty.

Shangguan Jin kept his face half-sustained, not speaking or interjecting, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shangguan Ning sat quietly by the side, watching coldly, without saying a word, but she wanted to peel Shangguan Jin's heart open to see if it was black or red, or if it was as cold as thousands of years of ice, how could her own flesh and blood be okay? Easy to go back to his side, but this person has no expression on his face, such indifference is really rare.

The dinner was served in Shoukang Court, and Ning insisted that Si Mian sit with her at the same table. Si Mian thought it was not in keeping with the rules, but seeing Ning's eyes filled with anticipation, he had no choice but to sit down on the ladies' table for dinner. All meals are half-lowered, the rice bowl in front of them is full of various dishes that Ning personally made.

Shangguan Ning saw that Si Mian's skin was slightly flushed, and she felt a little funny. I'm afraid my eldest brother has never been treated like this before, and he was very shy for a while!

After a dinner, except for Shangguan Jin, everyone looked very good, even the concubines who arrived later were also beaming, as if they were very happy.

After dinner, Mrs. Ning dragged Si Mian and chatted for a long while, and finally Mrs. Jiang said that Mr. Mian might still be on business, and Mrs. Ning reluctantly released Mr. Si Mian.

Shangguan Ning sent Si Mian all the way out of the mansion.

"Big brother!"

"Ok?"

Shangguan Ning smiled faintly, its brilliance comparable to the full moon at this time.

"Ning'er never thought that Prime Minister Si, who is well-known in Dayong, would become Ning'er's elder brother!"

"Silly girl, Big Brother never thought that he would be blessed to be Ning'er's brother!"

"Brother, this is a joke, Ning'er!"

"Brother, this is from the bottom of my heart!"

"Hahahahaha...".

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the cheerful and clear laughter spread far away in the night.

Three days later, Shangguan Jin wanted to hand over to Yan Mujing's imperial case the note that Shangguan Jin wanted to recognize his own son who was living outside.

The most famous civil and military ministers in the Dayong Dynasty Hall turned out to be his own father and son. This incident spread rapidly as if he had grown wings. There were various versions among the people, just like Shangguan Jin’s first As expected, Si Mian's identity and position are there, such rumors are inevitable.

In Piaoxiang Pavilion, Si Mian in white, Yan Mushang in black brocade robe, and Shangguan Ning in light yellow jacket sat around a rosewood table.

"Brother, Ning'er has never treated you as an outsider. Now that we are biological siblings, Ning'er doesn't want to hide anything from Big Brother!"

Shangguan Ning was the first to speak, otherwise the two men, one black and one white, were each holding their teacups in a daze, and no one thought about opening the mouth first. Shangguan Ning couldn't help but feel a headache. Now that Si Mian is her biological brother, why are the two still at odds? what?

"What does Ning'er want to say?"

Si Mian's tone was always gentle, Yan Mushang raised his eyebrows and looked at Si Mian, the small sparks in his eyes flickered non-stop, Shangguan Ning flew over with a warning look, Yan Mushang was reluctant somewhat restrained.

"Brother may have misunderstood Shang before..."

Shangguan Ning spoke carefully. She really respected Si Mian. In the past few years, Si Mian had never refused any of her requests, even if some things violated his principles of doing things.

"Ning'er wants to say, isn't Lord Shengyang Wang the extravagant, absurd and uninhibited person in the rumors?"

Si Mian cast a slanted glance at Yan Mushang, but even if he said no, there was a hint of provocation.

Shangguan Ning was a little surprised. Si Mian had always been a calm person. He always spoke and acted in a well-behaved manner. He was kind and courteous to others. He had never spoken like this before.

"Prime Minister Si has heard a lot of rumors. Is there any new rumors for me to hear?"

Yan Mushang wiped out all the tea in his hand, then put the empty teacup on his fingertips and twirled it back and forth. The teacup seemed to be attracted by a magnet, but it just twirled on his fingertips but did not fall off.

"There are quite a few. For example, some people say that Suye, the owner of Zhushang Building, who has become so popular in the world, is actually King Shengyang. For example, that Suye lost his appetite at some point, but Longyang likes to take him with him. Let women go out in the middle of the night, even the palace is not a problem.”

Shangguan stared at Si Mian dumbfounded, this...this…….Brother actually knows everything?

The expression on Yan Mushang's face didn't change, but he hooked Shangguan Ning with his eyes, as if to say, "Look, how powerful your elder brother is, even if you haven't said anything, everyone will know!"
"Master Si, Yu Chengsi is really not in vain. This sense of smell is probably better than the wolfhounds in the yamen!"

Naked mockery!

"Don't dare to dare, my ability is simply not worth mentioning in front of the landlord. In terms of ability, the prince's ability to pretend to be crazy and deceive the world is superior!"

"you……"!
Yan Mushang did not expect that Si Mian, who was always gentle and bookish, would be aggressive. When he said such a thing, could it be that he was so arrogant because of his brother Ning'er's face?

"Shang, brother, what are you doing?"

Shangguan Ning couldn't help but get a headache watching the two men coming and going. Not only did the joy in his imagination not appear, but the two of them were like fighting cocks with red eyes, wishing to eat each other alive.

The two big men were staring at each other with their necks stuck, but when Shangguan Ning opened his mouth, the two of them invariably withdrew their staring gazes, and turned to look at Shangguan Ning. How could there be any vigor in their eyes?
"Ning'er, it's the big brother who got impatient!"

"Since you are the eldest brother, you should call your younger sister. Not everyone can call Ning'er!"

How could Yan Mushang be choked up in vain by the other party, grab the topic and start picking on the bones, Yan Mushang's 'narrow-minded' Shangguan Ning has been taught.

"Yan Mushang, are you going to talk properly today? If you're in a bad mood, I'll leave with elder brother first. When you're in a better mood, we'll continue!"

Shangguan Ning really couldn't bear it anymore, there was still a lot of troubles behind her, these two men still wanted to quarrel here, she couldn't scold Si Mian, naturally the unlucky one was Yan Mushang.

"Ning'er, you're biased!"

"Brother, let's go!"

Si Mian looked at Yan Mushang's deflated look with a funny face, and felt relieved, who made this kid so lucky to be able to marry such a beautiful sister as his wife, if you don't rub his spirits, don't put him down. Excited to find North!

Seeing that Shangguan Ning really got up, Yan Mushang immediately stretched out his hand to grab Shangguan Ning's sleeve, and gave Si Mian a warning look, but Si Mian pretended he didn't see anything and was just drinking his tea with his head down.

"Ning'er, sit down and talk about something!"

"You don't want to talk about it!"

Shangguan Ning's feelings for Yan Mushang can be said to be groping, and she knows her position in Yan Mushang's heart. She just knows whether she is proud of being favored or arrogant. Yan Mushang will definitely compromise with himself!

"Sit down, sit down, I just stop talking!"

Shangguan Ning looked at Yan Mushang's beautiful face, frowning her sword-like eyebrows, Lying Cicada's eyes sparkled, her red lips pursed, no matter how she looked, she looked like an angry little daughter-in-law, Shangguan Ning tried her best not to laugh speak out.

"Brother, how did you know what happened before?"

The emperor knew that it was not difficult to understand. The existence of the Zhushang Tower was a heart disease of the emperor. During the ten years since he ascended the throne, he sent countless scouts to investigate the rivers and lakes. The investigation strength of the ruler.

But Shangguan Ning also believed that the emperor's investigation of the Zhushang Tower was definitely not done with great fanfare, it must have been carried out in private, so how did the elder brother know it, and how did he know it in such detail?

Si Mian picked up the teapot and refilled himself and Shangguan Ning's tea. Looking at Yan Mushang's gloomy face, he smiled and refilled the teacup in front of Yan Mushang.

"Did the emperor tell you?"

Before Si Mian could answer, Shangguan Ning conjectured. If the emperor told his elder brother all this, wouldn't everything make sense?
It's just that such a top-secret matter, the emperor actually trusted his elder brother?

"It can be said yes, or it can be said no."

"Brother, what is and isn't, is it or isn't it?"

Seeing that Shangguan Ning was a little anxious and his face was a little irritable, Si Mian couldn't bear to let it go any longer.

"The present Holy Majesty once arranged for Brother to investigate this matter, but Brother was only one of the many spies. The identity of the prince was found out by other spies and reported to the Emperor, but it was the Emperor who visited the palace at night. Tell me personally, brother!"

"Brother, since when did the Emperor know that Shang is the owner of Zhushang Building?"

"It should have been two months ago."

Shangguan Ning recalled, that is to say, the emperor already knew Yan Mushang's identity before Aunt Qin's death. The previous behavior of taking the helm of Zhushanglou Yunpu was aimed at Yan Mushang.

"Then why did the Emperor tell Eldest Brother when Shang Ye and I talked about the palace?"

I and Yan Mushang entered the Hall of Baisi through the secret way, and no one knew the whereabouts of myself and Yan Mushang except Concubine Yun Situhuang who was pretending to be an old woman. Why would the emperor tell a courtier such a secret?

"I'm also puzzled by this matter, but I have two guesses!"

Si Mian put down the teacup in his hand and watched the white veil fluttering in the wind. The name of Piaoxiang Pavilion is a bit vulgar, but the decoration in the yard and the display in the room are very tasteful.

"Brother, please speak!"

After Si Mian finished speaking, Yan Mushang straightened his face a little bit, he was clear about what was the business, and he didn't really want to argue with Si Mian, but just thought of his little Ning'er's attitude towards this Si Mian. The intimacy is only a little worse than his own, so it is inevitable that he will feel sour in his heart. Although he also knows that the two of them are brothers and sisters now, it is a bit unreasonable for him to be like this, but he just can't control it.

"The reason why the emperor told Brother Wei about this is that he wanted to hear some news from you. After all, the emperor has heard about the relationship between you and my brother and sister. hand to ask the government for something."

Shangguan Ning was startled. Could it be that what the elder brother said was a soldier talisman?

It shouldn't be, how could the emperor tell a courtier about such a top-secret matter? It's true that he and Si Mian are relatively close, but he wouldn't hand over the military amulet easily because of this, let alone that he is just a daughter of a boudoir. What right and ability do you have to hand over the soldier talisman!
Unless, the person whom the emperor asked the eldest brother to contact was not himself, but Shangguan Jin, but where did this matter start? Although Shangguan Jin and Si Mian were in the same court, they didn't have much contact with one another, so how could they have a position? Keep up with Shangguan Jin to bring up such a thing!

"The emperor knew about the father-son relationship between you and General Shangguan?"

Si Mian looked at Yan Mushang with admiration in his eyes, such a person with a delicate and clear mind is worthy of his precious sister.

Looking at Si Mian's appearance, she clearly acquiesced to Yan Mushang's words. Shangguan Ning was taken aback again. It turned out that before she went to look for her elder brother with anxiety, her elder brother already knew about her life experience. No wonder such an important matter The eldest brother agreed without even thinking about it.

"The eldest brother knows what the emperor wants from the Shangguan Mansion?"

Si Mian shook his head, also with doubts on his face.

"The emperor didn't say it clearly, he only said that the time has not come yet, but based on my elder brother's understanding of the emperor, this thing is definitely not an ordinary thing, and its preciousness may be immeasurable."

There are several guesses in Si Mian's mind, but no matter which one is taboo, although this is Yan Mushang's territory, the walls have ears, so it's better to be more cautious.

Shangguan Ning looked at Yan Mushang, seeing that the other person's expression became serious, Shangguan Ning thought for a while, and finally recounted briefly what Concubine Yun Situhuang said to herself that night, as long as Emperor Qianyuan and Shangguan Congyun The grievances and entanglements between them were clearly explained, and finally the matter of the soldier talisman was revealed.

　Hehehe, Jiu'er was thinking, the emperor is powerful, no matter what his thoughts are, his methods are still very clever, everyone is in the palm of his hand, although Yan Mushang has the ability to protect himself, but he has no intention of fighting against the court, That's why it seems that the emperor is even more powerful!
