marriage order

Chapter 15
Pei Qu's ability to pick locks seems to be very proficient, and no key is needed to deal with such a lock.Nine years is too long, I really have nothing to do, so I learned a lot of heresy things, this is another side hidden under his upright appearance.

As soon as he entered the small building, he was greeted by a choking smell of dust.This place has not been cleaned for a long time, the ground is covered with dust, and cobwebs are formed in the corners. The spiders have disappeared, and the cobwebs are also broken. Only the pale sunlight comes in from the small window, and the dust in the light floats and sinks. It proves that this place has really been sealed for a long time.

Pei Qu didn't have any extra thoughts to touch the scene, he turned around and closed the door, and went straight up the stairs.Every step you take brings up the dust on the ground, and the air becomes more and more stale, and it is unbearable in the attic.Pei Qu covered his mouth and nose and coughed, frowning and looking around the low attic, he thought to himself that this place is really the same, it hasn't changed in more than ten years.

He went to the north and opened the small window that had been dusty for a long time, and fresh air poured in, but it was not enough.The smell of dust in the room is mixed with the long-lasting smell of books, which cannot be dissipated for a while.

Pei Qu opened the cabinets one by one, and there were letters, cloth, various papers, and some paintings.Some of the stored books have been eaten by moths, but most are still intact.According to Pei Qu's temperament, he should have zero tolerance for such a messy environment. He frowned vigorously, took out the books, and looked through them almost holding his breath.

But there were too many slips of these books, and it was unrealistic to go through them all at once, so Pei Qu had to pick some and stand and read them slowly.

From the bright sky to the sunset, it started to rain outside.First there was lightning, then thunder, and the rain was getting heavier.A flash of lightning illuminated the attic, but only for a moment, the room sank back into darkness in an instant.Pei Qu closed the book in his hand, put it back in its original place, closed the cabinet door again, and the "rumbling" thunder sounded outside again.

This attic is full of books and paintings, which have nothing to do with romance, and have nothing to do with Confucian classics, but the focus of obsession is the same, and they are all related to "poison".Numerous ways of preparing poison, and countless recipes, the free and easy handwriting and fine painting style record the short life of a "drug addict".

Such a person is dangerously smart, dangerously mad, and after a long period of madness, there is no cure.

Another flash of lightning illuminated the attic. Pei Qu turned around, walked to the small window to the north, and closed the window tightly. Although he moved quickly, he still got rain on his hands, and even his cuffs were stained with water.The doors and windows were closed tightly, and the sound of the rain outside suddenly became dull, but the rain was not weak at all.Pei Qu took advantage of the little dim light left to go down the stairs, quietly left the small building, locked the door again, and then ran back to the bedroom in one breath despite the midsummer rain.

Sudden torrential rain always catches people off guard, but when I clean up my wet body and sit down again, I feel that the rain is also very good.

Sitting on the rush mat at the door, the damp hair that was not washed after washing was combed and hung down, the wind in the corridor poured into the loose robe, and even the clothes bulged.There was almost no one in the mansion, which reminded him of his childhood life in Dongdu.

At that time, he was very small, in the small house in Luoyang, the eastern capital, he woke up from a nap, climbed out of the couch, searched around the house, but there was no one in the house.

Later, the deacon rushed in and said: "Ah, Qilang is awake, madam has gone back to Xijing."

It was the first time Mrs. Pei returned to Xijing without even saying hello, and left him alone in Dongdu.

Later, such things happened more frequently. Mrs. Pei would live in Dongdu regularly for a while, but she never took him with her when she left, and she only said to the Pei family in Xijing: "Qilang seems to like Dongdu more, he is comfortable there, let him go. "

So he also spent a lot of time in Dongdu, and finally his eldest brother took him back to Xijing and said to him: "Qilang, don't hate your mother, she actually cares about you, but the house is always flying like dogs and dogs. , she doesn’t want you to live in that muddy water, isn’t Dongdu very good? However, you should study hard at your age. Grandpa said that you will easily learn to be bad in Dongdu alone, so let me accept it. You go back."

After that, life became dull, growing up in a big family, that's all.But as he got older, he could also feel that some of it was wrong.

His biological mother didn't seem to like him, but his father was always worried, as if he was afraid that he would go astray if he was not careful, so that his control over him became more obvious later.He was born smart, his talent surpassed any of his peers in the clan, he could walk the right way very well, and it would be extremely easy to walk the wrong way.

However, when he was a child, he always carried some evil spirits of being too clever, such as chaotically killing Wang Shizhao with chaotic chess moves, for example, knowing sophistry at a very young age, if his father knew about such things, he would definitely be beaten to death.Probably he was beaten so badly that his memory grew. Later, he didn't develop a surly and cunning temper, and he didn't have any bad habits. When he appeared in public, he already looked like a righteous gentleman. All of them were heartbroken.

Pei Qu has a good appearance, his features are slightly similar to his handsome father, but far superior to his father.

Being beautiful and smart is actually a dangerous thing.Because most people think that those who have received too many gifts from God usually do not have a good ending.

He has come all the way to the present, and it is indeed not smooth sailing.

Thousands of obstacles have to be crossed, knots have to be solved, there are too many things waiting for him.

He lay down on the mat, and the damp summer wind blew in like this, puffing up his thin robe.

Outside, it was completely dark.

Pei Liangchun sat up from the couch when he heard the knock on the door.He was on duty tonight at the yamen, the Taiwan official who was on duty with him had already gone to sleep, and because he had to wait for someone to come, he was lying on the couch reading a book and did not sleep.

The visitor was in a hurry and was wearing night clothes. No matter how you looked at it, he sneaked in secretly.Pei Liangchun opened the door, let him in, and then poked his head out to look around to make sure no one was there, and then closed the door again.

The visitor simply saluted him, and Pei Liangchun sat down and asked straight to the point: "How is the investigation?"

This person is a member of the intricate inner guard organization, but now he is reused by Pei Liangchun.Pei Liangchun got a lot of information from him, and now he is relying more and more on his ability to find out information.

Although the Plum Blossom Internal Guard is completely under the emperor's orders in name, since it is an organization, there are factions.These factions cannot put it on the table, and most of the time the contradictions between the factions can only be digested silently.This organization has grown to the present and has flourished, but there have also been several terrific internal conflicts and purges in recent years.

Struggles within an organization are often accompanied by alternation and change of power, and the organization itself often goes further and deeper on the road of disintegration.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Pei Liangchun firmly grasped one of the factions, under the eyes of the emperor, firmly controlled it and used it for himself.Because he knew that the reason why Shen Fengge has been shaky in the court all these years is also because of his unclear relationship with the internal guard organization.

He has average talent, but he has infinite hard work and ruthlessness when it comes to drilling.

At this time, the inner guard on the opposite side replied to him: "According to the investigation by the humble official, Yuan Jiayan is indeed the sixteenth child of the Yuan family line. It's getting better now. That concubine's wife rarely goes out, and outsiders probably don't know her appearance except the people in the house, but there is one thing that is not sure—"

He hesitated for a moment, and after getting Pei Liangchun's approval of "but it's okay", he continued: "Liang Sanniang from the rouge shop in the square said that she had seen this concubine many years ago, and she thought it looked familiar."

The "Liang Sanniang" he was talking about was also a member of the internal guard organization, and she was an old man with a lot of experience. She was aware of several internal struggles many years ago, and even had contact with the core of power.

And this time when she was asked about her, she recalled: "At that time, I saw that lady by chance. She was still pregnant. Although she covered her face with a tulle, her face was vaguely recognizable. That face was very similar. Qu Songhua."

Pei Liangchun heard Liang Sanniang's words relayed by the inner guard, raised his head and asked, "Qu Songhua?"

"Exactly." The other party replied, "Pei Yushi may not have been in contact with the inner guards for a long time. Qu Songhua was a very prominent figure in the inner guards nine years ago, and died because of internal cleansing."

"Was there a corpse back then?"

"Yes." The other party said again, "Speaking of which, Master Shen should also know about this. The cleansing of the inner guards has an inexplicable relationship with Master Shen's later position."

Is Shen Fengge a vested interest in the inner guard faction struggle?

Pei Liangchun smiled incredulously, the level of interest in this matter simply exceeded his expectations.So he raised his head eagerly: "What is Qu Songhua's origin? How is he involved with Yuan Taishi, General Yuan or Master Shen? Was it possible to use a fake corpse to cover up people's eyes and ears?"

After listening to his series of questions, the other party expressed that many things could not be confirmed for the time being. After all, the man had been dead for nearly nine years, and so many changes had taken place in the internal guards in these years. There were very few old people who knew about it back then, and it would take time to inquire deeper. .

Although Pei Liangchun was in a hurry, he also said that he must investigate carefully, and not let any mistakes be missed.The other party nodded, and was about to say goodbye, but turned around again, made a bow and said, "There is one more thing I forgot to mention. Although the connection is not very certain, it may be useful to Pei Yushi."

"Say."

"Tailor Shen is now very close to the Southern Media Officer of Chang'an County. The Southern Media Officer is known as a 'living household registration', has a superb memory and is very intelligent. And Qu Songhua, who was an internal guard back then, is almost such a character."

"Qu Songhua was also a media official?"

"Yes."

"Have you also told Master Shen that you are married?"

"The host was young and promising at that time, and he had no family. There should be many people who proposed marriage to him. It is not surprising that Qu Songhua is one of them."

The corners of Pei Liangchun's lips, which had always been flat, slowly picked up.

Based on Pei Liangchun's understanding of Shen Fengge, it is [-]% sure that Qu Songhua and Shen Fengge were once involved.

Shen Fengge has been living alone for these years, it's fine if he doesn't marry a wife, but he doesn't even have a concubine by his side, and he never goes to Pingkangfang for flirting, his private life is extremely strict.His eccentricity aside, isn't there some other story behind it?

Yuan Jiayan's face looked like General Yuan's. How could the Yuan family have such a beautiful child?If her biological mother is Qu Songhua who faked her death back then, is it possible that her biological father is Shen Fengge?
And if she is really Shen Fengge's child, then how could Taishi Yuan or General Yuan allow this child to grow up in the mansion and be named "Yuan"?After all, Shen Fengge and the Yuan family have disagreed with each other for many years in their political views, which is well known in the court.

So assuming that the speculation about Yuan Jiayan's identity is true, then the real relationship between Shen Fengge and Yuan Taishi is worth exploring.

This is one of the openings that can be investigated; secondly, the inner guards mentioned that Nanshan and Qu Songhua are very similar, they are both people with excellent memory, they are both matchmakers, and they are both involved with Shen Fengge. Is this just a coincidence? ?

Qu Songhua used the identity of a media official as a cover to serve as an internal guard, so what about Nanshan?Could this remnant of treason against the Prince's family also be the internal guard of Plum Blossom?If this is the case, she is now working hard for the enemy of Miemen, which is really interesting, very interesting.

The torrential rain outside had already stopped, the eaves of the verandah were "tick-tick", the bell rang softly, someone jumped over the wall and left the Yushitai, which was always chilled by the wind and wind, and Pei Liangchun sat at the low table, thinking about his plan incessantly .

At this time in Xijing City, most people were deeply asleep, and could sleep until the street drum beat at five o'clock and two o'clock.

Nanshan woke up a little earlier, it was dark outside, there was dampness in the corridor, Feng Niang was still sleeping soundly in the next room, she bent down and put her hands on the ground, raised her legs skillfully, and put her into a handstand position, the whole body The courtyard appeared in front of her in an upside-down manner.

She still remembered that she always practiced like this nine years ago. After a long time of standing on her head, her mind became dizzy and she couldn't remember anything. Sometimes she even didn't know who she was, where she was, and why she stood on her head.

At that time, someone tested her memory and abnormally cut out half of the outlying and cold chapters and sentences in "Five Classics of Justice" to make her silent, and she really only read it once, not to mention that she was still young at that time, and many words were not even read. don't know.However, I was able to write it after I stumbled and stumbled, so I have hot meals, hot dishes to eat, and a place to live, but every day is tasteless and painful.

For a while, she lived in a muddle, like a puppet, completely forgetting her origins and not knowing what she was doing.When your mind is confused, just stand on your head. Even if you keep your eyes open, everything in front of you will become more and more blurred, and your brain will completely lose the ability to think.

In the dim light of the early morning, she recalled the past, closed her eyes unknowingly, and when she opened them again, the street drums were already beating.She resumed her standing posture, her head cleared up, and after taking a few deep breaths, she heard a sudden knock on the door.

Ok?So early?Could it be...

teacher?

After she was released, she never saw Pei Qu again.Wannian County is busy with affairs, and there is only one county lieutenant, so it should be busy, but I don't know if the unfinished square map has been drawn in the end.

She stopped her thoughts, lowered her head and quickly straightened her clothes, put on her shoes and ran to the door, but when she opened the door, she saw a young gentleman standing there smiling at her.

Nan Shan quickly identified him as Zheng Cong, secretary of the provincial school, so he asked politely, "Is there something wrong with Zheng school so early?"

Zheng Cong said: "A certain person was about to go to the yamen early, and happened to pass by here, and remembered that the Southern media official lived here, so..."

"Someone hasn't cooked breakfast yet." Nanshan's implication was, oops, there's no breakfast for you.

"No, no, no." Zheng Cong waved his hand and said, "Someone is asking for something."

"Please tell me the school book."

Zheng Cong adopted a stupid roundabout tactic this time: "Someone wants to ask the south media official to talk about marriage."

"Oh." Nan Shan responded, and then replied with a smile, "School Secretary Zheng really doesn't need to come here to ask for it, just go to Chang'an County's official media yamen and let the media official Yao make arrangements for the school."

These words have already revealed the alienation of business affairs, but there is nothing wrong with it.Zheng Cong was stunned for a moment, but said: "But I think it's better to ask the South Media Officer to say that I can rest assured."

His posture is like a piece of nasty caramel, Nanshan knows that once it is stuck, it will not be easy to take it off, so he simply refuses: "This is just a nine-rank matchmaker, Zheng Xiaoshu's marriage, I can't take it privately There are rules for everything, if the yamen assigns something to someone, no matter how busy he is, he will accept it. This is very embarrassing for Mr. Zheng, so... please go back first."

Zheng Cong was not stupid either, he could tell that Nanshan didn't want to have anything to do with him, so when Nanshan was about to close the door, he couldn't help but asked in a moment of impatience, "Is it because Pei Shaofu didn't allow it?"

"No?" Nanshan was completely at a loss when he heard that.

Zheng Cong got anxious and didn't even care about his words, and said directly: "Someone told me that you have to ask Pei Shaofu about the southern media officials. Last time I went to the Wannian County Government, and I raised the Nan with Pei Shaofu. Shaofu Pei was very upset about the matter of the media official. He must have disliked me. He told the official of the Southern media that he should ignore that little school secretary, so the Southern media official deliberately alienated me like this. ?"

Nanshan thought to himself, what are these things.Zheng Cong's logic in thinking about things is a bit strange, but does Pei Qu still care about such a simple-minded guy who has just entered the officialdom?Very unhappy... what kind of expression should I have at that time.

Nanshan waved his hands again and again: "There is no such thing. Secretary Zheng may have misunderstood. The weather is sweltering, and Pei Shaofu is always busy with no one to care for him. Maybe it's because he just happened to be in a bad mood so he took the blame."

Zheng Cong thinks about it. Pei Kuangnan is depressed, and it's not entirely because of him that he is unhappy.

When he was relieved, another donkey cart came to the door of Nanshan's house.Today is really an auspicious day, the gate of the house is so lively early in the morning.Nanshan poked his head out to take a closer look, but saw that the person who came was Cui Sanniang wearing a veiled hat.

Nanshan smiled and said, "Why did Sanniang come here so early in the morning?"

Cui Sanniang approached her and said softly: "You always go out very early on weekdays, I was afraid that I would miss out, so I came here early to find you."

As she spoke, she glanced at Zheng Cong again: "School Secretary Zheng came so early?"

Although Zheng Cong was a student of Cui Sanniang's father Cui Xiaoshu, he didn't know Cui Sanniang very well, so he bowed his hands alienatedly, but he had no intention of leaving.

Cui Sanniang ignored his existence, took the food box to Nanshan, and said, "Snacks for Fengniang."

Nanshan was not rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and said, "Oh, how can I accept this?"

Cui Sanniang whispered: "I need your help with something, you accept it first."

Nanshan had no choice but to take the food box and lead her to the main room.The two of them walked in, and Zheng Cong, who was ignorant, didn't want to be left behind. He hurriedly followed, took off his shoes outside the corridor, and followed all the way into the main room.

Cui Sanniang sat down at the low table, took off her veil and hat, watched Nanshan busily making tea, turned her head to Zheng Cong who was also seated, and said, "The ten-day holiday is over, school secretary Zheng is not in a hurry to go to the yamen?"

Zheng Cong sat upright, and replied: "The Secretary has nothing important to do. He has always been lazy. If you go early, I am afraid that the door will not even be opened."

Cui Sanniang asked again: "Secretary Province is like this, is Yushitai not impeaching?"

Zheng Cong snorted from the bottom of his heart, who knows that the Secretary's Office is just a hospital for senior officials to recuperate and retire. No matter how cruel Yushitai is, he would not pinch this rotten persimmon. What a bother to wash it.

So he continued to sit confidently, as if he had to have a cup of tea made by Nanshan before he would leave.

Over there, Nanshan cooked the tea, distributed it to them and sat down, asking Cui Sanniang, "What's the matter, Sanniang?"

Cui Sanniang said with a little embarrassment: "Let's talk about it after Zheng Xiaoshu has left. It's not convenient to talk about private affairs right now."

After hearing this, Zheng Cong said with a teacup in his hand, "I'll pretend I haven't heard anything."

Cui Sanniang felt that this person was too ignorant, and felt impatient after waiting for a while, so she directly spoke to Nanshan, "What I said at the White Horse Temple last time..."

Nanshan immediately understood her intentions, but he was a little uncertain. Seeing her ambiguity, he asked, "San Niang wants to ask about marriage?"

Cui Sanniang blushed slightly: "Yes."

Nan Shan thought of Pei Qu saying "Ms. Cui is first-class in appearance and appearance" followed by "I don't like it" and suddenly fell silent. Facing Cui Sanniang who was looking at him earnestly, he didn't know what to reply for a while. .

Cui Sanniang probably guessed a thing or two, so she moved closer, lowered her voice and said, "I know I don't seem to be good enough for him, but... I have always admired Qilang's talent. I just want to ask, is Qilang right now? Do you have another date or plan?"

Nanshan shook his head honestly: "Mr. Pei has been focusing on county affairs recently, so I don't have the time."

Cui Sanniang seemed to be slightly relieved, but at this moment Zheng Cong interjected: "Sanniang likes Shaofu Pei?"

Cui Sanniang glanced at him lightly, but said nothing.

Zheng Cong said: "Although Shaofu Pei has a bad temper, his family background and future are also very good. If Sanniang likes it, why not just go and talk to Shaofu Pei."

This proposal is very bold. Cui Sanniang looked at Nanshan as if asking her, "Can I say this?"

Nan Shan moved his head speciously, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

"If you think about the words, you can talk." Zheng Cong continued to encourage Cui Sanniang from the side.

"Words?" Cui Sanniang looked at Nanshan and thought for a while, "At that time, I will tell Qilang that it was the Nanshan media official who encouraged me to come..."

Nanshan waved his hands again and again: "I——I never said that."

Cui Sanniang laughed to herself, and said, "I'm just joking, why are you so nervous." She turned her head and glanced at Zheng Cong, "Isn't School Secretary Zheng leaving yet? It's really going to be late."

The sound of street drums had stopped, and Zheng Cong calculated that it was almost time, so he got up quickly after drinking tea, said goodbye to Nanshan and left.

After he left, Cui Sanniang changed the subject: "The princess invites the ladies of the association to go to Lishan for a bath in a few days."

"Soup in summer? It will be very hot."

"It is said that soaking in hot springs in summer has many benefits, don't you want to go?"

Nanshan shook his head honestly.Cui Sanniang looked her over for a while: "Every time you are in trouble, you always find an excuse not to go, could it be that you can't be in trouble?"

Seeing that Nanshan didn't reply, Cui Sanniang looked at her and said, "Is there an ugly scar on her body? Or..." Is there a plum blossom tattoo?
Of course, it was impossible for Cui Sanniang to ask the second half of the sentence, and she only said "or..." and let Nanshan answer the question by himself.

Nanshan paused for a moment with his hand holding the teapot, then steadily filled it with water, put the pot aside, and said lightly: "Of course it's not because of ugly scars, but it's just that once I soaked in the soup for a long time, I felt dizzy when I came out. The first time I fell very badly, I was a little afraid of being ruined after that.”

Cui Sanniang listened to her reasoning, and persuaded: "You soaked for too long, it's okay if the time is shorter. How can you refuse if the deacon's wife insists on letting you go?"

"Is it Miss Wang who insists on me going?" Nanshan asked cautiously.

Cui Sanniang nodded: "Miss Wang said that your task of proclaiming marriage to the ladies has not been completed, and of course the association meeting is going."

Nanshan picked up his cup and took a sip of tea, and said honestly: "If Mrs. Wang speaks, I will go."

Behind Lady Wang is Shangyuan, does Shangyuan suspect her?Think she might have a plum tattoo?Nanshan drank the tea quietly, and Cui Sanniang got up: "It should be just a few days, but we have to wait for Lu Jieshuai to enter the capital."

"Handsome Lu Jie?"

"Yes." Cui Sanniang stood straightening her clothes and explained to Nanshan with her head lowered, "The Holy Majesty summoned Lu Jieshuai from Xuanwu Town to Beijing and invited him to live in Lishan Palace for a while. The princess will also go at that time, so the lady who formed the association Let's go together, too."

Nanshan had heard the news that Lu Zhan was going to Beijing before, but he was not sure at the time, but he did not expect that the news would be confirmed within half a month.Most of the Heshuo and Central Plains feudal towns ignored the imperial court, and Lu Zhan hadn't been to Beijing for many years.This time the Holy Majesty was able to invite Lu Zhan, he must have given a good "bait".

Since the Holy Majesty frequently called Li Jiayin, the son of King Wu, into the palace, does he plan to make Li Jiayin his heir?If this is "bait", it would not be surprising for Lu Zhan to go to Beijing.

But now that the court situation is so chaotic, whether Li Jiayin can successfully ascend to the position of the crown prince, and even take over the throne in the future, may depend on the power of the Central Plains vassal represented by Lu Zhan.This summoning by the Holy Majesty should be a win-win negotiation with the original intention, right?
After Nanshan sent Cui Sanniang away, he hurriedly made breakfast, gave Fengniang instructions, and rode out the door.She has recently received a few marriages, and she is very busy. She went to the official media office, and then went to Ding Gongfeng's house to help prepare for the wedding in two days.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there has been a custom of welcoming relatives in the evening.If the male and female families are far away from each other and cannot meet their relatives before the closing of the square, they have to apply for a special passage with the local county government in advance.

People in Ding's worship family are especially procrastinating in doing things, and they have to keep urging them to do things.Nanshan watched for a long time that day, but it was only when the street drum was beating that the Ding family's wedding procession started slowly.

After welcoming the relatives, it was a complicated and lengthy ceremony, and the Ding family was lazy but overly particular, and it was already [-]:[-] pm when all the fuss was over.As night fell, the lively banquet in the mansion had just begun. Nanshan and the other two matchmakers came out of the new house, picked up Xie Matchmaker Jin, and left.

Xie Meijin is very particular, and since Nanshan is half an official, it will be troublesome if you give too much money, so it is just an auspicious number.

Nanshan took her meager money as a matchmaker, and led the horse out of the house hungry.She looked up at the moon, thinking that she hadn't seen the teacher for a long time, should she buy him a drink?It seems that Mr. Pei is responsible for her being released.

She thought about it, looked at the horse again, and decided to give up.She could climb over the wall by herself, but she couldn't take the horse with her, and she didn't feel at ease leaving the horse anywhere in the square, so she had to continue walking with the horse, thinking about finding a hotel to stay.

Avoiding Marquis Wu who was patrolling the streets, Nanshan walked more leisurely.When they arrived at the gate of Shenfengge Mansion, they still stood still for a while.From the number of lit lanterns outside the door, she could guess whether Shen Fengge had come back.

Not coming back, Nanshan quickly came to a conclusion.She turned her head and was about to leave, when the sound of horseshoes "clacking" approached.Shen Fengge has been busy with official duties, and he returned home hungry, but he is in good spirits. He reined in the rein at the door, and looked down at Nanshan who was leading the horse, "Is there something wrong with the Nanshan media official?"

Nanshan did have something to tell him, so he nodded.

Shen Fengge got off his horse expressionlessly, handed the reins to the servant who was running towards him, turned his head and walked into the mansion, only leaving a dry sentence to Nanshan: "Come in."

The servant hurriedly took the rein from Nanshan's hand, and Nanshan followed Shen Fengge into the mansion.

When Shen Fengge returned to the mansion, another lantern was lit outside.As soon as he sat down in the hall, the deacon dutifully delivered the food immediately.Nan Shan sat down and watched him eat, Shen Fengge ate for a long time before he remembered: "Has Nan Media Official had dinner?"

Nanshan's stomach was empty, so he shook his head.

Shen Fengge asked the deacon to send another copy.

Nanshan waited for about a quarter of an hour when he heard movement outside the corridor.Judging from the sound of footsteps, the person who came was a woman, probably a maid, she thought so.

The maid entered the door, holding a plate of food in her hand, while keeping her head down.She walked up to Nanshan's small case and laid it out one by one for her. Only when she was putting the chopsticks, she raised her head slightly, and Nanshan happened to raise her head at this time.Seeing this face so close at hand, Nanshan's heart suddenly "thumped". She was always calm, but at this moment she was startled.

She quickly lowered her head and blinked her eyes in a little panic, until the maid bowed and left, she was relieved.

She listened carefully to make sure that there was no one around, so Huo Di turned her head and glanced at Shen Fengge who was eating fish carp.

Shen Fengge ate his fish carp patiently and meticulously, his face remained the same.He caught a glimpse of Nanshan's astonishment, but said lightly: "It's really similar, isn't it?"

"Yes..." Nanshan replied cautiously, she stabilized her emotions, and said, "It seems to be me..."

Like Qu Songhua, very much like Qu Songhua.Nanshan still remembers that when she was a child, Qu Songhua took the dirty clothes she took off and said, "It's dirty, what a poor child. I'm old enough to be your aunt. Would you call me aunt? If you call me aunt, I'll buy you a new one." clothes."

She didn't speak at that time, but Qu Songhua still bought her new clothes.

But Qu Songhua passed away not long after, and Nanshan never had this "aunt".

So today when she saw this face that was very similar to Qu Songhua's back then, she almost jumped up in shock.

Shen Fengge raised his lips coldly: "It's just a disguise trick."

He was stingy and drinking slowly, while Nan Shan asked, "When did you enter the mansion?"

"Yesterday." Shen Fengge said lightly, "but she will leave within three days, because the temptation is over, she can't stay here and be exposed."

"Testing?" Nanshan knew a little about the past between Shen Fengge and Qu Songhua, and there seemed to be deep entanglements between them.Now there are people who disguise themselves as Qu Songhua and approach Shen Fengge. If Shen Fengge can't act nonchalantly, he will definitely be suspected by the other party.

But Shen Fengge said: "Naive."

Indeed naive, with Shen Fengge's facial paralysis, even if a ghost ran up to him and said that I would eat you, he would still be able to stand still, let alone just a maid disguised as Qu Songhua.

Nanshan breathed a sigh of relief, but Shen Fengge immediately said: "But you just showed your feet, you are really an idiot."

He seemed very dissatisfied, frowning and eating fish carp.

Nan Shan took a mouthful of the steamed cake a little discouraged.

Shen Fengge changed the topic: "You want to go to Lishan to soak in soup with the lady who formed an association?"

"Ah."

"Can I go?"

Nanshan nodded hesitantly.

"If you can reject it or don't go, this is a well-arranged situation. Originally, Shangyuan didn't plan to invite people from the association. I don't know who said something to her, but she immediately changed her mind."

"I know."

"Do you know you still want to jump in?"

"But if you don't go, you will be more suspicious."

Shen Fengge's expression actually added a bit of irritability, he said: "You don't need to be in a hurry to clarify, the big situation is about to end. After the end, there will be no more such small situations."

"The host is just deceiving himself and others." Nan Shan had already seen it through the years.Where there is no end or no end, as long as there are people, conspiracy and harm will never end.

The big picture is not over.

Shen Fengge was choked by her, his appetite lost, he put down his chopsticks and gave up his plate of fish, and drank all the wine in his glass.

Shen Fengge seemed a little irritable, but there was only one point written on his face.But the irritability in his heart was not because Nanshan was about to go to the "Hongmen Banquet", but because of Qu Songhua, and of course the little Liuniang in Yuan's mansion who didn't look like a child of Yuan's family.

Nanshan asked again: "Who does the host think is behind the scenes?"

Designing her, and designing Shenfeng Pavilion, could it be...

"Who do you think it is?"

Is it Pei Liangchun?

Nanshan frowned when he thought of the name.She knew that Pei Liangchun was not a good person, but she did not expect his ability to reach this level.If this person is allowed to develop, I don't know what it will become.

One side is discussing this matter, and the other side, Xu Miaowen is also talking with Pei Qu.

Xu Miaowen wisely analyzed the situation in the court, and finally said: "There is one person I still can't understand." He frowned and said, "Which faction does Pei Liangchun belong to?"

"I came back not long ago, but I can't understand it even more than Brother Xu."

Xu Miaowen snorted and said: "You are the most cunning one, you know it well but you don't say anything. Don't you believe me? Are you afraid that I will shake it out?"

"This has nothing to do with trust." Pei Qu was still thinking about the books smuggled out of the small building. He didn't have much time, so he had to hurry up and read them all.As for Xu Miaowen's ramblings, it is really an analysis that can be listened to or not.

Seeing that he was absent-minded, Xu Miaowen quickly rolled his eyes and said, "I still have something to tell you."

Pei Qu looked up at him.

"Do you still remember when I asked Jiulang to test your student's kung fu?"

There seemed to be murderous intent on Pei Qu's calm face again.

Xu Miaowen was afraid of being knocked down by him again, so he didn't dare to show off again, and hurriedly said: "I did suspect that your student was an inner guard, but now I'm not the only one who suspects, Pei Liangchun has already designed a situation to make that girl jump."

Xu Miaowen's set of rhetoric is not much different from what Shen Fengge and Nanshan speculated.It's just that he thinks that during the process of standing in line, Pei Liangchun not only chose to be with Shengshang on the surface, but also colluded with Shangyuan secretly.So this time Pei Liangchun had to test and design Nanshan, so that he could borrow Shangyuan's strength smoothly.

I don't know if the Holy Majesty knew that the dog he identified was actually crawling around like this.Xu Miaowen was thinking secretly, Pei Qu had already got up over there.

He quickly rolled his eyes: "What are you doing with such an indifferent attitude! Don't you worry about your precious student at all? Last time I just asked Jiulang to check her and you knocked me down. Back to your elder brother, but you want to see the tattoos on her body! You have to take off your clothes to see it! Can you still-can-do this-don't worry-?"

Because his expression and words were too much to be punched, Xu got his wish and got punched before he even finished the word "?".

He covered his face and collapsed on the ground, yelling, "You--this..."

As a result, his ten-thousand-year friend turned his head and went out mercilessly, while Xu beat his chest for a long time before he recovered.
