After the prince enters the play

Chapter 97 097: Pulling Shang Junyan into the Water

Su Baiwei was originally embarrassed to go out, but Su Jingmo said: "Big sister, this is not your fault. If you don't go out, others will think you are at fault."

Thinking about the same reason, Su Baiwei deliberately changed into the new clothes her mother prepared for her and took her sisters out.

Sister Yun was taken away by the eldest lady, afraid that her daughter would worry that the child would not play well outside.

They shared two extra carriages, Su Xinyi and Su Baiwei were in the same carriage, and Su Jingmo followed in the carriage behind.After summer, the heavy curtains of the carriages were replaced with thin bamboo curtains. When the bamboo curtains were rolled up, a layer of gauze curtains fell down, and the scenery outside could be seen from inside the carriage.

The cool breeze is sent in along the gauze curtain, making people feel refreshed.

Su Baiwei pointed Su Xinyi to the street outside and told her where they were and what they were doing, and the journey was not boring.When the carriage passed the gate of the Golden Square, Su Xinyi saw a familiar figure.

She was so familiar with this back, she wouldn't admit it even if she turned into ashes.

Shang Junyan?
What is he doing here?
This person claims to be a gentleman, and Golden Square is a street where famous girls and young masters in Kyoto like to come to eat, drink and play.

Here you can buy the most beautiful clothes, customize the most expensive jewelry, eat the most delicious food and drink, and listen to the best theater troupe.

People like him would disdain to have fun in such a profligate place, after all, they pretended to be talented and promising in their official positions.

Shang Junyan seemed to have a sense of it, and looked back, just as the wind picked up, rolled up a corner of the thin gauze curtain, and Su Xinyi's face appeared in front of his eyes.

The two looked at each other, separated by the noisy street and crowds, Shang Junyan's throat moved, and he subconsciously took a step forward, but the snow-white gauze curtain fell again, and everything fell into silence.

Shang Junyan was in a daze, that's right, she was no longer his wife, and she wouldn't be standing where he could see it as soon as he turned his head.

In the past, he was only bored, but since that day when he heard his mother and sister talking about her in private, as long as he was free, he couldn't help thinking about those things in his previous life, how true or how false.

He thought he was going crazy.

Su Baiwei also took a look outside, and said casually, "Hey, I seem to have seen Shang Shizi from the Prince's Mansion of Pingjing County? Why is he here?"

"Really? I didn't see it." Su Xinyi didn't want to mention this person. Although the two of them have never met in this life, the suffering she has suffered cannot be erased just by doing it all over again.

She told herself that as long as they didn't come to provoke her, she would treat them as if they didn't exist, and try not to take revenge on things that didn't happen.

However, as long as she saw them, it was difficult for her to calm down and really not care.

The hardships and sins they have suffered, every word they have scolded her, every word they have ridiculed her, is like a knife leaving a mark on her bones.

It hurts so much, how can you just forget it?

She is not a god or Buddha, and she cannot save sentient beings, nor can she save herself.

The carriage stopped, and Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief. She lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car. Su Baiwei smiled and did not stop her, and got out of the car by herself. Outside, Lonicera had already set up the pedals, helping her to land safely. ground.

Forsythia withdrew her arm without any abnormality, um, her arm was sore, she stretched it out, stretched it out.

The Yuande Troupe stands in the most conspicuous place of the Golden Square. The three-story theater building with cornices and brackets, painted with gold and lacquer, looks very imposing.

As soon as they got off the bus, the guys from the theater came up to greet them, invited them in very graciously, and sent them directly to the third floor.

The interior of the entire theater building was a semicircle, and the most central place was Nuo Da's stage. The wing rooms on the left half of the third floor were all occupied by Jiang Ruolan, and she immediately came up to them when she saw them.

"Sister Baiwei, it's been a long time since I haven't seen you, you still look good." Jiang Ruolan said with a smile.

Su Baiwei also smiled and said: "Your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. When I see Aunt Jiang later, I will ask what I ate for you all day."

Speaking of which, the Jiang family is the noble family of civil servants, and the Duke of Qi's mansion is the noble family, and the people on both sides don't have much contact with each other.

One reason is that civil servants and nobles have always disliked each other, and the other reason is to avoid being suspected by His Majesty of their clique and personal friendship.

However, they are all female family members in the inner house, so it's okay to have more contacts, especially because there are fourth Mrs. Su and Su Xinyi's good relationship with Jiang's family. Even if others know about it, they won't criticize it.

Jiang Ruolan had some refreshments brought to them, and introduced to them: "My mother and the others came to listen to the opera a few days ago, and I heard her say that there is a new dessert called emerald white jade rouge cake in the theater. It is very delicious, so I want to come. Eat, and you don’t want to go out alone, so please come and taste it together.”

"The name sounds nice, and I want to eat it when I hear it." Su Xixian said with a smile, "Thank you, Miss Jiang, for your hospitality."

When the things came up, peony-shaped snacks were placed on a white jade plate as big as a palm, and a layer of peony leaves were gently held on the outside, followed by white jade-like petals and carmine stamens. Gently cut open with a silver knife, the peony flowers seem to bloom layer by layer, really beautiful.

Su Xinyi also found it interesting. She had never seen such a dim sum. She picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. It tasted sweet and crispy, with a bit of peony scent. It was really delicious.

Everyone was full of praise, Jiang Ruolan was very happy, and said softly: "Their family still has a kind of tea called Jiangshan Junzi tea. I also ordered it. Let's taste it later."

When it comes to eating and drinking, these ladies really have a common language, and the conversation became lively for a while.

Su Xinyi has always been indifferent to these eating and drinking. If there are delicious ones, she will eat a few more mouthfuls. If there are not delicious ones, she can swallow even dried vegetable dumplings.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a voice from the next door, "Sirs, please, the box on the right has already been reserved, and we are waiting for some distinguished guests."

The boxes on the left and right sides are bounded by stairs in the middle, and bamboo curtains are hung on each of them. Through the curtains, only a few figures can be vaguely seen, and it is not clear which one they belong to.

Su Xinyi didn't care, but when she heard Shang Junyan's voice, she couldn't help being stunned, what a coincidence?
When they heard someone coming from the opposite side, they lowered their voices a bit to avoid being indecent.

Because the middle is suspended, it is convenient to listen to the opera, so the boxes on both sides are not closed, and the side facing the stage is also hung with roller blinds. These jade-white roller blinds are made of ivory silk, which is luxurious and elegant.

As soon as the curtain fell, the two sides could not see each other, and it was very secretive, but the sound had to be controlled a little bit louder so that it could reach the other side.

But when the gongs and drums of the stage are beating, it will become a natural place to speak, and the sound of Nuo Da's gongs and drums will cover up any sound.

The ivory curtain on Su Xinyi's side is only half down, for the convenience of watching the play, but the curtain on the opposite side has not been rolled up, and there are seven or eight people on the opposite side. After they are seated there, the curtain is still not rolled up. The voice is also low, I don't know what to say.

Su Xinyi lowered her eyes and told herself not to meddle in other people's business. She has nothing to do with Shang Junyan now, she just came to watch the show, just watch the show.

At this moment, a gong sounded on the stage, and the noisy theater building slowly quieted down, and everyone was waiting for the show to begin.

The gongs and drums on the stage were beating progressively, and with a beautiful and melodious voice, a beautiful woman in a costume came out gracefully and sang in a posture.

Su Xinyi was really not interested in listening to the opera, and felt a little drowsy after listening to a few words.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but smile.

Su Xixian stretched out his hand and poked Su Xinyi's waist, Su Xinyi regained his energy, and said with a stiff mouth, "I'm too absorbed in listening."

Everyone was amused, they lowered their voices and smiled lightly, and then went to listen to the play seriously, Su Xinyi was relieved.

She sat there with her back straightened and watched the people on the stage sing with all their attention. She lost her mind when she listened to it, and suddenly heard the three words Yan Shizi from the opposite side...

The only one who can be called Yan Shizi in the capital is Yan Congjia, the elder brother of Yan Qiongsi, the prince of Guangping County.

Huh?
On the opposite side today is not only Shang Junyan but also Yan Congjia?
Su Xinyi's mind couldn't help being attracted by the person opposite, she couldn't help listening to the movement on the opposite side, who was talking about something in an extremely low voice, and when she wasn't going to listen anymore, she heard One claimed to be the Second Young Master Jiang...

Jiang... the one who can listen to the opera with these people, the one surnamed Jiang... ranks second... Isn't that the son of Concubine An Fang of Dongli Palace, the concubine Jiang Mozhou of Dongli King?
This is even more strange, how did these people get together?

Shang Junyan claimed to be a gentleman from a famous family, and rarely stayed with these dudes, especially Yan Congjia, who was good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, looked like a dog, and never did serious things.

Su Xinyi didn't have much curiosity at first, but it was different when Jiang Mozhou appeared. Princess Dongli is still fishing with her injuries. Although he, a concubine, doesn't have to go to his aunt to pay his respects every day, it's not good to be in such a situation. Sometimes they openly appear in places like theater buildings.

What exactly is going on?

The more Su Xinyi thought about it, the more suspicious she felt. Although she told herself not to be troublesome, but this was not a case involving Wu Shun from Princess Dongli, she couldn't sit still.

Wushun is still locked up and has not been released. It can be seen that the case has not been closed, and last time it involved Dongli Palace and salt merchant Ma Rude. I can't sit still.

She said that Shang Junyan had memories of his previous life, and he would definitely continue to serve King Rong in this life. Look, isn't he, a gentleman who he considers an honest man, still getting involved with these people?

Just think that if he wants to harm the prince, it will also affect the future of the eldest brother, and the marriage with the eldest sister, how can she still sit still?

Su Xinyi stood up quietly, and said with a smile, "I'm going to change, and I'll be back in a while."

"Go, do you want me to accompany you?" Su Baiwei asked hurriedly.

Su Xinyi immediately shook her head, "No, I may have to wait a little longer, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable, just watch the show."

Su Baiwei immediately nodded thoughtfully, "Then go quickly."

Su Xinyi smiled at them, then turned around and lifted the curtain to leave.

She lifted the curtain and came out, and then she walked lightly, trying not to disturb the people on the other side, she walked down the stairs, took a few steps, looked at Lianqiao who was following, and said: "You don't have to follow me, go to Qianjie Baiweizhai bought some candied fruit, and when the fruits come back, Miss Jiang will treat you, so let's add something to the table."

Lian Qiao hesitated for a moment, then heard the girl say again: "I'm not going out in the theatre, and if something happens to me, ordinary people can still beat me? Anyway, it's not your girl who suffers, so go quickly."

Lianqiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she could only say: "Young maidservant, hurry up and come back, girl, be careful."

"Go, go." Su Xinyi smiled and waved her hands. After watching Lianqiao go downstairs, she didn't go to the clean room, but walked in the direction of the clean room, then turned over the window, and walked through the window. Leng Pan climbed up, gently pushed open the window of the right side room, and flipped in lightly.

The layout on the left and right sides of the third floor is the same. She took a closer look at the box on their side. There are tables and chairs for watching the theater outside, and there are several small rooms in the back. There is also a utility room for storing things.

The utility room where Su Xinyi settled was not a big place. There was a closet, two low tables, and a nanmu clothes hanger beside the low table. The exquisite silver aromatherapy ball exudes a faint fragrance.

She stood gently against the wall, listening to the sounds outside through the thin bamboo curtain.

I don't know if it's the wrong time for her to come. There were only voices from the stage outside. She stood there quietly, but she was a little anxious. She didn't have much time. These people said they were happy before, why now? But there is no sound?

While she was waiting anxiously, she suddenly heard someone say, "What is Shang Shizi thinking? Such a good thing is not something that happens to everyone, don't you think?"

The voice was a little strange. What kind of deal do these people want to make with Shang Junyan?
"I'm just a scholar. I only like reading. I have never dabbled in business and have no interest. I'm afraid I will disappoint Second Young Master Jiang."

Su Xinyi's eyes lit up when he heard this. It turned out that Jiang Mozhou who spoke before was actually going to personally come forward to persuade Shang Junyan to join the group. The business he mentioned was definitely not just for fun.

Su Xinyi couldn't help but think of the connection between Concubine An and Ma Rude. Could it be that the business Jiang Mozhou mentioned was related to Ma Rude?

"Jun Yan, why are you so eager to refuse, this business is so lucrative, and you are here because everyone is familiar with it, otherwise, who would easily pull people in for such a good business, right?"

Yan Congjia?
Su Xinyi is naturally familiar with Yan Congjia's voice, after all, this one and his sister Yan Qiongsi have often expressed their presence in front of her in her previous life.

To tell the truth, Yan Congjia is really a dandy, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and smoking are all kinds of poisons. In her previous life, the princess of Guangping County often cleaned up the mess for this son.

This kind of person dares to do anything for money. Jiang Mozhou's ability to find and beat him into a gang is obviously not as simple as making money for everyone.

"That's why you insisted on asking me to come today?" Shang Junyan looked at Yan Congjia's indifferent opening. He looked at everyone now as if he was wearing two skins, one face on the outside and one face on the inside. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.

"Yeah, isn't this a good thing? Yanyin's business is tantamount to free. Isn't it easy to get some Yanyin in your capacity?" Yan Congjia smiled a little rascally and said, "I can share with you after the matter is done. This number!"

Su Xinyi couldn't see Yan Congjia's hand gestures through the curtain, but he heard Shang Junyan speak.

"50 taels? What a great deal!" Shang Junyan's voice calmed down instead, "It's indeed a good business, as long as you talk about it, you can get so much money into your account."

"That's right, if we weren't good brothers, how could such a good thing happen to you?" Yan Congjia smiled.

"Yan Shizi's words make sense. Shang Shizi has nothing to hesitate. I have a reliable connection here. As long as you nod your head, you can easily get large sums of money." Jiang Mozhou's eyes flickered, and the smile on his face became even brighter. It's true.

Shang Junyan lowered his eyes slightly, suppressing the rolling anger in his eyes. In his previous life, he went south to investigate Yanyin's case. He was ambushed several times along the way, and once he was seriously injured and almost gave his life there.

He never expected that the salt merchants had already infiltrated into the capital at this time, and they also took advantage of Jiang Mozhou and Yan Congjia.

No wonder, no wonder the case of Cha Yanyin was blocked everywhere in his previous life, and he was in danger several times.

Only the family members know about his going south, but her mother is going to marry the Guangping County Prince's Mansion, so I'm afraid she will tell the Yan family about his going south...

Shang Junyan's heart is bitter, so this is retribution, right?
His mother wanted to get rid of Su Xinyi and let her marry Yan Qiongsi, but she didn't know that Yan Congjia had secretly made a shady deal with the salt merchant, and what she revealed about his whereabouts almost became a sharp knife to send him to the underworld.

Shang Junyan still had a lot of things he couldn't figure out, but now with this new discovery, he knew that the Yan Yin case, which he hadn't found out in his previous life, involved more deeply than he expected.

His heart was shaking for a while. In this life, he has decided to go to the Imperial Academy to study, but...but now this case is brought to him in such a way, which makes him angry and itchy. How can you calm your anger when you dig it out?

Shang Junyan suppressed the emotions in his heart, raised his head and said with some interest, "Second Young Master Jiang is really surprising that there is such a connection. Although you say this connection is reliable, doing business is risky. Sometimes it’s not enough to just rely on words, let alone a lucrative salt quotation business, isn’t it?”

Jiang Mozhou himself had no contact with Shang Junyan, and it was all due to Yan Congjia's connection, so today's meeting was possible.

He knew that Shang Junyan was not such a fool as Yan Congjia, so he was not surprised to hear him say that, and said with a smile: "That's natural, if Shang Shizi wants it, I will naturally show my sincerity."

Su Xinyi listened to the conversation of several people, thinking about it, but never thought whether Shang Junyan joined these people in his previous life. It turned out that these people wanted to attract Shang Junyan to join, no wonder these few people got together.

Su Xinyi got the news she wanted, and was afraid of alarming others, she quietly retreated from the original path. She stood at the stairs, looked in and saw that Lianqiao hadn't come back, so she simply waited for her to come back and went back together. Empty to rectify thoughts.

As soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, she felt the bamboo curtain next to her move. She looked up and saw Shang Junyan with a serious face coming out of it.

Shang Junyan was stunned when he saw Su Xinyi here. Su Xinyi didn't think it was such a coincidence, thinking that fortunately he closed in and retreated first, otherwise he might be caught if he took a slow step.

Su Xinyi wanted to wait for Lianqiao, but when Shang Junyan appeared here, she turned around and was about to leave.

When Shang Junyan saw it, he remembered how his mother and sister had treated her badly, and he didn't have the face to talk to her, but what Yan Yin said about him today, what Yan Congjia said in his words seemed to have something to do with Duke Qin's mansion, so he could only insist on it. Scratching his head, he called her to stop.

"Miss Six, stay a step." Shang Junyan took a quick step to catch up with her and stop her.

Su Xinyi frowned slightly, took a step back, and said, "Shang Junyan, what are you going to do?"

Looking at Su Xinyi's defensive gaze, Shang Junyan was full of thoughts, but he also knew that there was no time to waste him now, so he immediately said: "Although it is a bit presumptuous, I still want to ask, are Miss Su and Li Guijia right? Is there another secret?"

Su Xinyi didn't expect Shang Junyan to ask such a question, so he said, "Why are you asking this, and what does it have to do with you?"

"I know it's presumptuous to ask, but this matter involves a case, Su Xinyi, you know I'm not a nonsense person, so just treat it as if I'm asking for advice sincerely." Naturally, Shang Junyan couldn't say anything about Yan Yin, This kind of major event is dangerous, and it is no good for Su Xinyi to know.

From these words, Su Xinyi knew that Shang Junyan might have suspected Yan Yin's matter, but she also didn't understand that he hadn't officially appointed an official yet, so what good would it do him to care about these things?
And it also implicated Yan Qiongsi, isn't he afraid that the marriage will be messed up?
However, it wasn't bad for her.

Su Xinyi glanced at Shang Junyan, made a look of embarrassment, and then slowly said, "There is something hidden, but..." She lowered her voice at this point, "Shang Junyan, you are not the same as you were in your previous life. If you have an official position, you are not afraid of getting burned? This will involve the palace of Guangping County, which your lord wants to marry you to."

Shang Junyan's face darkened when he heard Su Xinyi's words, "You know everything? How do you know this?"

"Shang Shizi really likes to joke, what can I know, I don't know anything." Su Xinyi sneered.

Shang Junyan's face became even darker, and he looked at Su Xinyi almost gritted his teeth and said, "Su Xinyi, don't mess around, if you really know something, it's best not to get involved, those people are cruel and ruthless, they don't care about anything. It can be done."

Su Xinyi was puzzled, and was about to ask, when he saw someone from the opposite side lift the curtain, and said in surprise when he saw them, "Hey, isn't this Miss Su Liu? Why, chasing Shang Shizi on the field Don't let it go, and now you're going to get entangled in the theater?"

　The [-]-word update is complete, my little cuties.
