No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 201 Broke My Heart For Senior Brother
"A condition?"

Su Xian looked a little nervously at Wei Mei and Su Gu'er on the left and right, and said with a serious expression, "Niece Xian, please tell me."

Xie Ling, Jiang Liumou stared at Su Xian for a while, and then turned to look in the direction of Meilu Garden outside the door.

It seemed to be a secret, and he didn't speak for a while.

In fact, she was also improvised.

During the days when he came back from Gezao Mountain, there were some things that Xie Lingjiang never forgot.

"...Don't talk about three golden pills, just ask for one, and the Taiqing Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain won't give it...It's useless if your father is gone. Even the Xie family in Chenjun doesn't have enough face..."

"If it's... What if it's the face of the Li clan's royal family?"

"..."

Senior Chongxuzi's words and pause of surprise that day were still in front of her eyes.

If you don't take advantage of today's opportunity, "ask for a price" from Uncle Su.

Xie Lingjiang felt a voice in his heart.

She looked slightly hesitant.

In the past, Xie Lingjiang was used to acting rashly, allowing all reason and reason, without any burden.

The sudden exchange of benefits now made her a little uncomfortable, and she didn't know how to speak for a while.

"It's not a condition. Uncle Su is doing my senior brother a favor, a favor within his ability. If it works, my senior brother and I will naturally be very grateful."

Xie Lingjiang changed his words.

Su Guer suddenly asked:

"Ouyang Lianghan is indeed a great talent, maybe he will have a way to help us, but sister Xie, can you really invite him here?"

After a pause, he said curiously:
"I've had some contact with him before. He doesn't seem to be the kind of person who likes to meddle in other people's business, and he doesn't seem to be interested in government affairs."

Xie Lingjiang glanced at Su Gu'er, smiled slightly and did not speak.

There was only a soft nasal sound of "um", which was a little perfunctory.

Su Gu'er's face changed slightly, as if she understood the arrogant expression, she also smiled slightly, looking generous and said:
"It seems that sister Xie has a good relationship with him, which is a little different from outsiders like us. But this condition was proposed by Ouyang Lianghan, or is it your own initiative, sister Xie?"

Xie Lingjiang turned his head, frowned slightly, and met Su Gu'er's steadfast eyes and said:
"I said that it was just a favor. Eldest brother didn't know about it yet, and this was not a condition he raised. It's just that, as a junior, I think that elder brother deserves to be treated so politely and solemnly by Uncle Su.

"If you can help, then you can also see from it that Uncle Su's attitude towards my elder brother is not the kind that comes and goes when he is called, nor is it the kind of condescension that is intentional and humble like a superior."

Having said that, Xie Lingjiang turned to Su Xian and said seriously:

"Uncle Su, I know that public affairs and private matters need to be clearly distinguished, but I still want to remind you that if you treat senior brother with a gentleman of the state, the senior brother will definitely repay you with a gentleman of the state."

Her eyes brightened and said:

"Eldest brother's character is like this. Don't look at the surface, he doesn't care about things other than official duties, but as long as someone is nice to him, and the elder brother sees it, even if he doesn't say it at the time, it must be thousands of years later. Pay it back a hundredfold, and vice versa."

Xie Lingjiang's surprising earnestness moved Su Xian, and he said solemnly: "Understood, please tell me, niece Xian, how can I help?"

Xie Lingjiang nodded, and said calmly in public:
"I hope Uncle Su can write a handwritten letter and hand it over to Taiqingzong of Longhushan, the head of the Sanqing Daoist sect, in his capacity as Xunyang King or the former King of Ying."

"How can this work!"

When Su Xian heard the first sentence, he couldn't help but blurt out, his face full of fear and resistance, he paused, as if he realized that his reaction was too violent, lowered his voice, and explained eagerly:
"Niece Xian, I have been demoted to a commoner by my mother. If I send a handwritten letter privately as a prince and prince to recruit various forces, once the news is leaked, it will confirm the label of conspiracy and rebellion that Wei Shi and the others have buckled! This is no joke! Never, never, never..."

For more than ten years, in order to protect his family, he cultivated the code of conduct of being cautious in his words and deeds, which made Su Xian immediately shake his head and refuse.

It wasn't until Wei Mei's elbow slightly touched behind him that Su Xian came to his senses. Seeing Xie Lingjiang's sinking face, his tone softened, and he begged a little:

"Niece Xian, can you do something else? Writing a secret edict in hand is simply too dangerous. Once it is discovered, the consequences will be disastrous. It is okay to help your elder brother, but it is absolutely impossible to publish a secret edict in hand..."

He hesitated, and then explained:
"Besides, so many years have passed, I... I also forgot where the Jue Yin and other things are, and I can't find them."

Xie Lingjiang frowned and shook his head:

"No, you must be able to prove your identity, Uncle, and you must have something convincing as a guarantee, otherwise the gang of Taiqing veterans in Longhushan will not be so easy to send out a golden elixir .”

"Transcendence golden elixir?"

Wei Mei couldn't help asking:
"Niece Xian, you asked Qilang to take the risk of writing a secret edict in handwriting, because you want to get it from Taiqingzong of Longhu Mountain so that you can give it to your elder brother. What is the use of this pill?"

Xie Lingjiang hesitated for a moment, and told a little bit about Six Wings Xia Chan, and the leaky temperament of the big brother Ouyang Rong.

Because he started to talk about Senior Brother Xie Lingjiang, Mr. Yuan retreated first, leaving only Su Xian, Wei Mei, Su Gu'er, Su Dalang and others in the study.

At this moment, they are all in a trance.

"It turns out that what you want us to help is Ouyang Lianghan's Qi training."

The Su family members looked at each other, no one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere was so quiet that even a needle could be heard.

Sensing the silence in the atmosphere, Xie Lingjiang looked at Su Xian, Wei Mei and the others sideways to avoid their eyes, her heart sank slightly.

"How is Uncle thinking? Can you help me?" She asked suddenly.

Su Xian was silent for a while.

Su Dalang couldn't help but said:
"Father, why don't you write a handwritten letter to help a group of Lianghan brothers. He is weak and has a serious illness. He often hears his maid mentioning this matter. If he can get the golden pill of transformation, it will make up for the leak. The body, the success of Qi training, is of great benefit to Brother Lianghan.

"Don't say you want to live a long life, at least you can't work too hard and die young. Miss Xie is concerned about this matter, and she probably has this level of worry."

"Da Lang, my lord is not allowed to interrupt." Wei Mei turned her head instead of Su Xian and scolded.

Su Dalang kept his mouth shut silently. Su Gu'er beside him frowned slightly, staring down at the embroidered shoes leaking from under the skirt, and said softly, "Father thinks seriously, and will help as much as possible."

Wei Mei couldn't help but cast a sideways glance at the little daughter who had always cherished words like gold, but this time she didn't reprimand her as an adult.

Su Xian, who kept his head down in thought, glanced at Xie Lingjiang, and stopped talking.

Wei Mei took the initiative to say for her husband:
"Niece Xian, your elder brother has a very good relationship with Dalang on weekdays, and he often comes to the mansion for dinner, but he has met many times. He is a polite, sensible, and talented young man. He is also an upright official, disaster relief, and flood control. These skills are great, and Qilang and I have always liked them.

"If you have other things to do, you can help if you can. Even if you don't have the relationship with your brothers and sisters, Qilang and we will treat each other with courtesy and seriousness."

In Xie Lingjiang's ears, the charming and magnetic voice of the woman in the long skirt in front of her paused.

She waited for a while with her ears open, and sure enough, she heard the expected "but".

"However, there is a limit to everything, each family has its own difficulties, and so does your uncle.

"What is the current situation of our family? My niece also knows that handwritten secret edicts... are too dangerous. Qilang is mainly worried about this level. The risk is too great. You can guarantee that the handwritten secret edicts will fall to Taiqingzong in Longhu Mountain. Will it be safe?

"If it falls into the hands of bad people, and it is used for rebellion or false accusation, the consequences will be disastrous. Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, please be considerate of my niece."

Wei Mei quietly looked at Xie Lingjiang's calm face, and said softly with a cautious expression.

Su Xian showed embarrassment, and said in a guilty tone:

"Niece Xian, those past titles really can't be used anymore. It has been like this for more than ten years. Besides, I don't know where I got those seals, eh."

Master Su had a melancholy look on his brows, hesitantly said:

"Why don't you do this? Handwritten secret edicts are not acceptable. Then I will write a letter under the name of 'Jiangzhou Suxian' to ask for pills for nephew Ouyang Xian. You take this letter over and see if they can give me some noodles." Accommodating, in fact, to be honest, both have similar effects..."

"never mind."

Xie Lingjiang suddenly interrupted Su Xian's sarcasm, his face was as usual, and his tone was light:
"Just pretend I didn't mention it and disturbed Uncle Su and Aunt Wei. This request may be a little too much. I hope you don't take it to heart. Just treat it as a joke."

In front of the Su family's family, she shook her head, stood up, and politely poured tea for everyone.

Like nothing happened.

"Niece Xian, this is not what I and Qilang mean."

"Niece Xian, listen to uncle's explanation..."

"Okay, Uncle Su and Aunt Wei, don't mention this matter." Xie Lingjiang shook his head and turned a deaf ear.

Su Xian's face was embarrassed, Wei Mei frowned slightly, and Su Bao'er was a little silent.

I don't know if it's because of inexperience, or because of my personality, I'm too lazy to hide it. Anyone can see that Xie Lingjiang who doesn't care, still has a grudge in his heart.

After this noble daughter of the Xie family came to the Su Mansion in Longcheng, she had always done her best to protect the Su Manor and never asked for anything. The Su Manor family actually had a very good impression of her.

But no matter how good the friendship is, once it is mixed with interests, it will be very troublesome. It is difficult to discuss the facts and satisfy all parties.

But compared to Xie Lingjiang, who admired and admired the relatively idealized gentry character of "a scholar should die for his confidant" since childhood, Su Xian and his wife are more pragmatic and rational.

In the subsequent conversation, Su Xian and others found that Xie Lingjiang talked less and his attitude was much colder.

The young and impulsive Su Dalang blushed, and wanted to say something, but Wei Mei silently pulled him back
Su Guer sighed slightly inwardly.

At this time, Xie Lingjiang stood up, walked to the desk, and said without looking back:

"Uncle and aunt, Da Lang, sister of the Su family, let's stop here for today. I will write a letter to report uncle's worries, as well as Wei's movements, to Father."

Wei Mei stepped forward, took Xie Lingjiang's hand, and patted the back of her hand. The elders and juniors smiled and said:
"Don't worry, let's go have dinner together first. I happen to be with Bao'er. Your uncle caught a big fish today. The fish pond is the most delicious in this season, which is good for my daughter's fair skin."

Xie Lingjiang shook his head and declined.

Wei Mei felt the strength of the girl in front of her silently pulling her hand, and the smile on her face became a little embarrassed.

Xie Lingjiang suddenly said:
"Aunt Wei, Uncle Su, don't worry if this chat is not pleasant, I will throw my sleeves and leave, or I won't do my duty. Everything that was agreed before will remain the same. If Wei Shi has murderous intentions and the situation is not right, I will definitely escort you away with all my strength.

"In addition, the sixth-rank palace servants sent by Empress Wei still have a few days to arrive in Longcheng. Uncle Su doesn't have to worry about being afraid all day long. He should keep his spirits up and adapt accordingly."

After finishing speaking, Xie Lingjiang went to the desk without turning his head, spreading paper and ink, obviously seeing off the guests.

Su Xian and Wei Mei looked at each other, their expressions were a little moved and touched.

But immediately, Su Xian turned around dejectedly, shook his head in frustration, as if he remembered his wife's questioning just now, he murmured silently:
"I'm so depressed that I don't even dare to write a letter... I am ashamed of Taizong and Gaozong, because my descendants are worthless..."

The woman in the long skirt stretched out a hand silently, and held the back of the hand of the down-and-out middle-aged rich man, conveying some warmth.

Su Guer and Su Dalang also moved closer to Su Xian, giving some comfort.

The family of the Su Mansion was about to leave the study together.

At this moment, the panicked voices of the maids guarding the gate of Yilanxuan suddenly came from the yard:
"Alas, Mr. Ouyang, you can't go in, you can't go in!"

"Why? Isn't Junior Sister in there? I can see that the window of her study is open, and she seems to be writing. I happen to have something to ask her, so don't come in and disturb me later."

Ouyang Rong's casual tone came, followed by the sound of his footsteps.

The maids hurriedly said: "But Miss Xie said that without her order, no one is allowed to enter the study."

Someone seems to have stopped in his footsteps, and a laugh came:
"Um, is that so? What are you doing to guard against thieves in broad daylight? Well, please go in and report... Just say that I have something urgent, brother."

"Here, Mr. Ouyang, wait a moment." The servant girl responded quickly.

Immediately, the footsteps of the servant girl came from the yard.

In the study room, Su Xian, Wei Mei, Su Gu'er, and Su Dalang were startled, and turned their heads to look at Xie Lingjiang who was looking towards the desk with a surprised expression.

Xie Lingjiang immediately lowered his head and packed up the letters on the desk, hesitating a little, and said:
"If senior brother sees Uncle Su's appearance, it may be a bit difficult to explain clearly, and Dalang is the same. You are all gathered here at this time in the morning... Well, let's wait in the back room first, and I will deal with senior brother ..."

The family of the Su family: "..."
