Qingchuan History

Chapter 276 Mu Xiu Yu Lin
Xiangguo Mansion is located in the east of Cangwu City.

The gate of the mansion is low and wide, compared to Qi Guoji's house, which is tall and narrow, exactly two architectural styles.

This is not the first time that Jing Tingge has come to Shangguan's house.the third time.The first two times, they directly approached Shangguan Shuo, and met and talked in the East Hall as a colleague. They never saw his family members, from the mistress to the young master.

Mrs. Shangguan has been sick for many years, so she doesn't show up much;
Shangguan Yan started to take care of his own business in his teens, and it is said that he was never in Cangwu;
Shangguan's concubine is fashionable in her boudoir, there is no reason to appear on such a discussion occasion——

The two meetings were important matters, and they left after the meeting. The time was short, and they never even happened to meet each other.

Therefore, it is really the first time that Qi Gong cooks the Rain Palace.

I don't know because the northern country is more bleak in winter than the southern country, or because the descendants of the Shangguan family have left one after another, this time entering Xiangguo's mansion, Jing Tingge feels especially deserted, so deserted that it is lonely, which is similar to the prosperity of the Ji family who is also in the Xiangguo's mansion. In stark contrast.

So prosperous and complete, the two sons are at the knees, the daughter-in-law is the eldest princess, and the daughter is the wife in the palace not far away, but it is not lively, dignified and dull.

The families of the Qi Wei and Wei countries under the auspices of their respective prime ministers in this dynasty are so unusual, completely different from the atmosphere of the prosperous and prosperous families in the past——

From the looks of the outside world, it is naturally still considered a grand scene, even extremely prosperous, after all, it is rare to have a century-old family.However, the word "outside" means not knowing the inside story, not knowing the cause and effect, and guessing expectations based on appearances.

As for the two prime ministers themselves, both Ji Huan and Shangguan Shuo have gone through two dynasties, standing at the highest point on this continent and spending a longer period than their descendants have ever experienced.

They certainly have more stories to tell.Their words are more valuable and worth listening to than those of even the most gifted young princes.

"The old man is waiting for the gentleman to come in. This is the third cup of tea."

Still in the east hall, halfway through the opening time, the light began to soften, and the warm sun that resides in Cangwu City all year round dispelled the winter silence of the northern country a lot.

"Master Lao Xiangguo has been waiting for a long time. You know, every time I come here, Ting Ge can't help staying in the garden for a while to observe." She smiled, "I always feel that your mansion is specially decorated, sir, but I can't explain why. This time again Look, I finally understand," she turned to the hall door, as if she could see the whole situation in this way,

"There are no tall trees in your front yard. As far as the eye can see, all the plants are no more than the height of the window sill, so it is very bright, but a little bit." She paused, as if feeling sorry, "Lack of layers."

Even the Ji Mansion, which is solemn and dull with few flowers and plants, is separated by tall trees and low plants.

"The wind in Cangwu is strong, and the tree is tall and easy to break. And the old man likes to be quiet. When the wind blows, the tall tree makes an uproar, which really disturbs people's thinking." Shangguan Shuo Danyuan is as usual, his eyes are peaceful, "The tree wants to be quiet And the wind doesn’t stop. If you can’t stop the wind, you don’t want to plant trees at all. You must understand the truth of this.”

"Tall trees shade." Jing Tingge's smile deepened, "There are many sunny days in Cangwu, and the sun is too strong in summer and autumn to be dazzling. Compared with the noise of the wind blowing through the tall trees, the scorching sun is more disturbing. It's unbearable. Master Xiangguo's words are naturally reasonable, and Tingge's reasoning can also be justified. Everything in the world is just different from person to person, and you just get what you need."

"What you need, sir, has always been successful."

"Thanks to Mr. Xiangguo's help. Ting Ge hadn't had time to thank Mr. Xiang during the dispute in the Hanzhang Palace that day." She nodded and smiled sweetly.

"Everything this old man does is for the sake of the overall situation. Now that Mr. understands this, he should stick to his promise and devote his whole life to working for our country."

"Naturally." The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and a coldness suddenly appeared in the afterglow of her eyes, "It's a pity that not everyone is as sensible as you, Xiangguo. My lord, Ting Ge is not a stingy person, but he will not be subject to others indefinitely." Bullying. If Mr. Lu continues to be stubborn, Ting Ge will not care about the overall situation and stop internal friction. Like him, troubles happen once every three to five months, and he keeps building momentum. I am afraid that I have not reached the end yet. It was counted out."

"The old man has already persuaded Lu Xian. When you go to Su Wang's mansion on weekdays, Mr. Su, you should spend some effort to dispel His Royal Highness Su's remaining thoughts. Those who want to fight against the outside must first settle in. What the gentleman just said, the old man is only angry talk."

Jing Tingge raised his eyebrows slightly, pondered for a moment and said: "Really, I can't hide anything from you, my lord. Even your majesty only knew about my entry and exit from King Su's mansion a few months ago."

"King Su is a real general." Shangguan Shuo continued without taking up the other party's words. "In the future, we will start a battle. With his military strategy and combat power, if he can be fully used by the emperor, it will be a great event. For this reason, I still want to remind you." Sir," he said in a rare low voice,

"For His Royal Highness King Su, recruiting is the best policy compared to planning to destroy it, and it is called the overall plan. After all, his surname is Murong, and he knows the righteousness of the family and the country after all. It is not unreasonable Possibly. Mr. Youyou, please come forward." The word "you" is slightly heavier, and the Jingting song can be heard clearly, "Women have their own advantages in the court. Mister can go in and out of Su Wang's mansion for two full years without being rejected once. Even the old man can’t get the preferential treatment.”

As time goes by, the sun becomes softer, softer and darker.

Jing Ting Song was silent with the softer and weaker sunlight, for a while,

"Master Xiangguo really has confidence in Ting Ge." She replied with a strange tone, "If you want to talk about the overall situation, there is still a long time before the day when Murong Lin is used, so you are so sure that before that, he will not start trouble first? Those who want to fight against the outside world must first settle down inside, I am afraid that before the time for employing people, people will take us first."

"That's why the old man said, sir, please spend more time persuading His Royal Highness King Su. The art of attacking the heart is the master's strong point. On this issue, taking his heart is more valuable than taking his life."

Jing Tingge is not sure whether Murong Xun has told Shangguan Shuo about her plan, about Ruan Zhong and Ying Guo, and the plan to kill Murong Xun through this—

That's why the other party has said this now.

She has repeatedly warned her more than once, to be on the safe side, she must keep it secret for the time being.As for Murong Xun's current attitude towards himself as a subject——

She couldn't understand more and more.She and Shangguan Shuo are two, whom he prefers and trusts more.

In the early years, it was clear that Shangguan Shuo was not in his camp at all at that time, and could only be himself; in the first year after he took the throne, he was still himself, because of her supreme meritorious service, because of her three-year friendship, and because of her Those unspeakable subtle feelings.

It is undeniable that even though she has clearly refused, she still took advantage of Murong Xun's thoughts on her to some extent, actively or passively.Because of the existence of this thought, he can finally agree, support, and forgive her for most of the things.

This situation has changed in the past six months.The symbolic event was the conversation at Stillwater Dock in the afternoon——

He came to question her why she drove Sa Luzi out of the palace in the middle of the night.She confessed all the plans related to meeting Ruan Zhong and it.

Then he repeatedly pressed questions, emphasizing a bunch of ways of monarchs and ministers.

It was so solemn that it was almost unfamiliar, unprecedented.

She was surprised at the time, but she didn't think much of it; now, looking back and chewing on it again, combined with the part about Auntie's deliberate concealment, combined with what Shangguan Shuo had just said——

If he really turned around, he would tell the latter about Suo Ningcheng's plot, and the two had reached a consensus that they would never reveal a word of Auntie's secret to her——

Then his mentality has changed.

For the queen's change.

The two ends of the balance were raised and lowered again, and finally became even.

The so-called checks and balances.
