Chapter 129 The Inspector's Sister

This girl is Kong Zhixi, the younger sister of Shen Xian's close friend Kong Yiqing. She is sixteen years old. The parents of the two siblings passed away early. However, Kong Zhixi was protected by this elder brother and was also pampered and raised. She admired Shen Xian since she was a child.A few days ago, Kong Yiqing found a marriage for her and asked her opinion, but she refused. Kong Yiqing picked several good men, but she didn't want any of them.

Kong Yiqing is also for the sake of this younger sister, she has never been sure about the relationship, and Kong Yiqing also knows that she admires her friend, who is married, and he is afraid that her younger sister will do something stupid.Secondly, I really want her to be happy. The family backgrounds I chose for her are all good, and the man is also a man of good conduct.

Kong Zhixi refused to die, and Kong Yiqing also lost his temper. He put down his harsh words and said that if she didn't choose one before the Chinese New Year, he would decide to help her choose.Kong Zhixi knew that her elder brother was a one-sided man, and she didn't lie to her. She had never even met those men, so she was willing to get engaged, so she took some silver jewelry and clothes, and hired a carriage overnight to return to Beijing.

In fact, she didn't think too clearly about what she was going to do in the capital. Her parents died early, and she didn't have any relatives at home, only her brother and sister-in-law.The only one left that is more familiar is the Shen family. She wants to go to the capital to see him, and also wants to see Brother Shen's wife.

Unexpectedly, the coachman stole her baggage while she was asleep, and ran away overnight. When she woke up the next day, Kong Zhixi was completely dazed.She is very spoiled by her elder brother. She didn't know that there are many bad people in this world. It is a great fortune for a beautiful woman to dare to go on the road alone, but her bag was stolen.

So Kong Zhixi stayed at the station for two or three days, and the officials at the station didn't dare to kick her out, who knows what would happen if such a little girl was kicked out.No matter how they asked, the girl refused to tell where her home was.

Kong Zhixi finally ran into a handsome looking person who didn't look like a bad guy and was going to the capital, so he came up to ask, but he didn't know that this person refused to pay any attention to her, and turned her away with a perfunctory sentence.

Kong Zhixi was annoyed and sad, she didn't want to go back.Since this person couldn't make sense, she could only think of other ways.

The next day, Xie Che continued on the road. Kong Zhixi had already been guarding in the room, and when he saw him going out, he followed him step by step.Xie Che just pretended not to see, went to the backyard and called the coachman to drive away, Kong Zhixi followed behind with teary eyes, went out to the post station, watched the carriage drive towards the white road in the distance, she also stubbornly raised the corner of her skirt to chase after it.

Until the carriage got farther and farther away, Kong Zhixi's tears also fell down, she touched the tears with her sleeve, her eyes were blurred, she still chased forward stubbornly.She didn't know how long she had been chasing, but she felt that her legs were heavy with lead, and she was panting heavily. She couldn't run anymore, so she stopped slowly, and tears never stopped.

She couldn't run anymore, but still didn't want to give up like this, and walked slowly towards it.

When the snow began to fall, her cold teeth chattered, and she felt aggrieved and a little scared.

Not long after, there seemed to be a carriage coming in front of her. Kong Zhixi looked familiar, rubbed her eyes, and found that it was the carriage she was chasing. She stood where she was, and when the carriage stopped in front of her, the heavy curtain was lifted , the handsome man sighed softly, "Come on."

After all, Xie Che couldn't bear it, this girl was too stubborn, and she was afraid that she would run into bad guys if she went on like this.

Kong Zhixi got into the carriage, it was warm inside, a small charcoal stove was burning in the corner, she sat down opposite Xie Che, "Brother, thank you so much, don't worry, I will definitely come to thank you when I get to the capital."

Xie Che said, "No need."

Seeing that he was not willing to speak, Kong Zhixi sat silently in the corner without saying a word.This carriage is an ordinary black-painted carriage with a head-to-head and flat top. The interior of the carriage is quite large, and the design is relatively exquisite. There are hidden compartments, a charcoal basin, and several small cases.

There was a pot of hot water on the small case table. Kong Zhixi was about to freeze, but she couldn't help shaking at this moment. She glanced at the teapot several times, and then heard the man opposite say, "There is hot water on the case table." , drink some."

"Thank you." Kong Zhixi poured a cup of hot water and drank it down, poured another cup and covered her hands. Seeing the man across from her flipping through a book, she couldn't help asking, "Brother, what is your last name? It’s not good to keep calling you like that.”

Xie Che: "Xie Che."

Kong Zhixi smiled and said, "Then I'll call you thank you brother from now on."

Xie Che was taken aback, and there was an unknown emotion in his eyes.

Kong Zhixi saw that he didn't want to talk too much, and didn't want to disturb him too much, so the two of them just sat in the same car.When the sky darkened, they almost reached the post station, rested overnight at the post station, and continued on the road the next day.After rushing like this for five or six days, I finally arrived in Zhejiang Province. After Zhejiang Province, I will be the capital.

Kong Zhixi seldom talked to Xie Che these days. She felt that the closer this handsome man was to the capital, the more nervous he would be. Does he have someone he cares about in the capital?Speaking of people who are concerned, apart from the elder brother, sister-in-law and nephew, there is also Shen Xian who is far away in the capital.She and Shen Xian haven't met a few times, they met more often when they were young, and when they grow up, they only see each other once in a while when he visits his elder brother.

She still remembers the first time she met Shen Xian, when her father had just died in battle and her mother had also died of illness, she was only six or seven years old, Shen Xian was only fourteen, he was very good-looking, his face was like a crown jade, At that time, she and her elder brother were going to the shenmen. He was wearing armor and was extremely brave. At a young age, she was born with admiration.

At that time, he did not speak to her once, but only spoke a few words to his elder brother.Gradually, after the two families got acquainted, he and his elder brother became close friends, and talked to her a few times, but they were still a little cold after all.

Thinking of this, Kong Zhixi was a little discouraged, and didn't understand why he had to come to the capital.

In the last two days, when she talked to Xie Che, he was willing to talk to her, and the two chatted occasionally.On the 28th, when I finally returned to the capital and entered the city gate, Xie Che asked, "Where do your relatives live? I'll take you there."

Kong Zhixi was a little hesitant, so she just ran to look for Brother Shen, what if her sister-in-law misunderstood and caused a gap between them.

Xie Che looked at her, Kong Zhixi said hesitantly, "Send, take me to the Duke of Zhenguo." She didn't know anyone in the capital, so she could only go to Shen Xian, at least let him help her talk, she now I really don't want to get married.

Xie Che was surprised, with a somewhat cold expression on his face, "Tell me, who are you looking for?"

"Duke Zhen's Mansion, Shen Xian, he is my brother's close friend, and I will call him Brother Shen too."

Xie Che's face turned completely cold, "I don't know that you are looking for Shen Xian, otherwise I would not send you back to the capital no matter what, Shen Xian is married, why do you go to Shen's residence to find him?"

Kong Zhixi's eyes were red with anger, and she stared at him tearfully, "Of course I didn't want to destroy their relationship, I was only persecuted by my family, so I came to the capital to look for Brother Shen, and I wanted him to help me talk to my brother." She might He was indeed a little unconvinced, and wanted to see what kind of appearance Brother Shen's wife looked like, and why she could win Brother Shen's heart.

Xie Che was silent for a while, and asked the coachman to drive to the Duke's mansion.

Kong Zhixi wiped away her tears silently at the side, but she lost her courage when she was approaching the Duke's mansion. Her behavior seemed to be misleading.

The car stopped at the main entrance of the Duke's Mansion, Xie Che stepped forward to knock on the door, Kong Zhixi hid behind him, a little nervous, tripped, and bumped into Xie Che, a faint sandalwood scent rushed into her nose, her heart With a sudden jump, Xie Che looked back at her, her face was flushed, and she said, "I'm sorry..."

"Nothing..." Xie Che said.

Soon someone from the Duke's Mansion opened the door, recognized Xie Che, and hurriedly said, "This old servant has seen Mr. Xie."

Xie Che said, "You don't need to be too polite, just ask if your wife and adults are at home."

The old slave said, "My lord went out a few days ago, only my wife was at home."

Xie Che led Kong Zhixi to see Yuzhu, he was the one who brought him back, and he must give Yuzhu an explanation.

Yuzhu was surprised when she heard that Xie Che had brought a girl here, she thought about it, since he met a girl he liked in Youzhou for a year, and brought her back to show herself when the emperor called him to Beijing, she was very happy Get up, and hurriedly invite the two into the room.

Kong Zhixi was wandering outside, hesitating, seeing the servant girl coming out to meet them, she grabbed Xie Che's sleeve, and said frowningly, "Thank you, Brother Xie, I'd better not go in." What to do if the wife misunderstands.

Xie Che pulled back his sleeves, and said softly, "Go in." Along the way, he also saw that the girl was not bad, but she was raised a little naive.

When the two of them entered the room, Kong Zhixi looked up and saw the woman sitting on the grand teacher's chair. She was combing her bun with a jadeite hairpin inserted between her buns. The feathered satin cloak woven with emerald green pattern, the skin is more than snow, and it is as beautiful as a fairy.

Kong Zhixi held his breath and stared blankly at Yuzhu.

Yuzhu stood up happily, "Brother Xie, are you back?" She looked behind him curiously, "Brother Xie, is this girl you?"

"No." Xie Che said, "This is a girl I met on the road, speaking of it, it's a bit of a coincidence." He slowly told the ins and outs of their acquaintance.Yuzhu suddenly realized, and went to see the girl hiding behind Xie Che. She was beautiful, with lively eyes, and she seemed to be avoiding herself. Yuzhu smiled and said, "You should be Master Kong's younger sister."

Kong Zhixi poked her head out from behind Xie Che, "You, how do you know it's me?"

Yuzhu laughed and said, "Lizhou is not far from Youzhou. I once heard my husband mention Mr. Kong. He is a close friend of my husband. I heard that Mr. Kong has a younger sister. I met Brother Xie on the road. It must be from Lizhou. It should be Lord Kong’s younger sister. Why did you come to the capital alone? This is not right, you are a girl, it’s dangerous to go on the road like this, luckily I met my brother.”

Kong Zhixi looked at Xie Che, "Is he your brother?"

Yuzhu nodded, "Sit down first and then we can talk. I just asked the servant girl to tidy up a room and come out. You stay here first. When Brother Shen comes back tomorrow, ask him to send a letter to your brother. No matter what, you just run out like this." It's all wrong."

Brother Shen's wife is so gentle, Kong Zhixi became more and more ashamed, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I won't live in the house anymore, just go to Xunjian Inn. I was forced to get married by my brother, I really don't want to, and I only know her. Brother Shen is alone, this, this is why he ran here rashly."

"This is impossible. You came to Beijing so far away, how can I let you live in an inn." Yuzhu smiled, and then ordered Licorice next to her, "Licorice, go and ask the maids to clean up the room. There is a charcoal basin in the room, if you need anything, just take my brand and go to the warehouse to get it."

The licorice went out in response, Kong Zhixi hung her head and remained silent.Yuzhu asked Xie Che again, "Brother Xie, how have you been this year? There should be a lot of mess in Youzhou. The emperor called you back to Beijing this time, and I'm afraid you are also worried about Youzhou. However," Yuzhu paused and smiled. Said, "Brother Xie is so great to be back for the New Year." I thought I wouldn't see each other for a few years.

Xie Che said, "Yuzhu don't have to worry, the affairs over there in Youzhou have been dealt with pretty much the same, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay long when I come back this time, I've told the emperor when I come back, I'm going back after the New Year's Eve."

The two reminisced about the past, Yuzhu left Xie Che to eat in the mansion, Xie Che shook his head, "I still need to go to the palace to meet the saint, and then go to Jiang's house after seeing the saint, I will have dinner at Jiang's house." He finished speaking Glancing at Kong Zhixi, "I'll go into the palace right now, and this Miss Kong will stay at the mansion."

Xie Che left, Yuzhu took Kong Zhixi to the small courtyard next door, "You can stay here first, you don't have to worry about your affairs, wait for your big brother Shen to come back and ask him to deliver a letter to your brother."

Seeing her sincerity, Kong Zhixi felt even more ashamed. She admired Shen Xian, but she had no intentions of wrongdoing. When she came to Shen's residence like this, Brother Shen's wife still treated her kindly.

Arrange for Kong Zhixi to stay and Yuzhu to return to her room.

Shen Xian went out to do errands, and he would be back tomorrow or the day after. This Miss Kong came to look for Shen Xian, and Yuzhu also knew the cause and effect, so she guessed a little bit in her heart that this Miss Kong might have some other admiration for Shen Xian , but it definitely didn't come to their door to destroy their relationship between husband and wife. After all, she was just a little girl spoiled by her family, and she made all plans when Shen Xian came back.

Xie Che went to meet the emperor, and the monarch and ministers had an interview in the study. He talked about the government affairs in Youzhou this year. It was a relatively difficult year for him. Fortunately, he survived and took care of Youzhou well. Emperor Ruiwu Since he was happy and praised him, he gave Xie Che a half-month holiday and let him celebrate the New Year in the capital. After the fifteenth day, he hurried back to Youzhou.

Xie Che thanked Shengen, went out of the palace and returned to Jiang's mansion, met his master and his mother, the two were also happy, and left him to eat in the mansion.

Shen Xian Yu returned to Beijing on the 29th, and immediately returned to the mansion after returning to the palace. It was dinner time, and he entered the room and took off the black thick cloak. With a cry, he wrapped his arms around his neck and said softly, "Husband, you scared me!"

Shen Xian kissed the corner of her lips, and said with a light smile, "It's my fault, I shouldn't scare Jiao Jiao." There was not even a maid in the room, so he said, "Where are the maids? Why are you the only one left in the room?" People?" It's meal time now, and the maids should go to the kitchen to serve meals, but they will leave a maid to guard them on weekdays.

Yuzhu struggled to get up from him, "Husband, speaking of this, I happen to have something to tell you. The remaining two maidservants are going to deliver meals to Miss Kong next door." Seeing his brows slightly frowned, she said, "It's Lizhou. Master Kong’s younger sister, Miss Kong said that Master Kong showed her some men, but she didn’t want to, and Master Kong forced her to come to the capital. Let live in the mansion, you think you have to send a letter to Mr. Kong."

After hearing this, Shen Xian didn't show any expression, and just said, "I sent a letter to Yiqing, and I'm afraid it's too late to send her back now. After the new year's storm has stopped, I'm sending someone to send her to Oakland. Zhou." He remembered Yiqing as a younger sister, and said a few words, but he was not very familiar with her.

"Let's eat." Shen Xian didn't mention going to see Kong Zhixi, Yu Zhu knew that the two might not be familiar with each other.

The maids came over with dinner, and while eating, Yuzhu talked to Shen Xian about the New Year, and said that the princess didn't know about Kong Zhixi, and she planned to say it when she went to pay her respects to the princess on the [-]th of the next year. No matter what, the princess He is still the master of the house and their elders.

Shen Xian hummed and didn't care about it.

After dinner, he took Yuzhu to the clean room to freshen up. The two had been getting together less and less in recent months. Shen Xiannian read her words tightly, helped her wash her body in the water, kissed her earlobes, and talked about love, ashamed. Yuzhu's cheeks were flushed. In the past, Shen Xian only used brute force in this matter, but recently she seemed to have opened up, saying shameful words, and asked her if she liked this posture, whether she wanted him to be faster or slower .

Yuzhu was so shy when he asked her, she groaned intermittently.

After a lot of fuss in the cleaning room, Shen Xian was still dissatisfied, and carried her back to the room until midnight, Yuzhu annoyed him, "Tomorrow is thirty, I have to say hello to my mother, and there are many things to do." Be busy, hurry up, don't torment me anymore."

It was almost time to be ugly, and the next day Yuzhu woke up with a sore waist and back, and she was woken up by the maids. Shen Xian had already been busy in the study, Yuzhu sat up with her waist, and the maids waited on dressing and washing , had eaten breakfast, and Shen Xian hadn't come out yet, so Yuzhu could only lead Kong Zhixi to greet Jiahe first.

Kong Zhixi was a little apprehensive along the way, Yuzhu comforted her, "You come to stay at the mansion, of course you have to talk to the princess, don't worry, the princess is a very easy-going person, today is the New Year's Eve, we have to see each other of."

Kong Zhixi calmed down slightly, and then thought of other things, "Sister-in-law, did brother Shen deliver a letter to my brother?"

Everyone in the whole house knew that the lord came back last night.

Yuzhu's body suddenly paused, she turned her face slightly and coughed softly, remembering the mischief of the two last night, I am afraid that Shen Xian only went to the study to return the letter this morning, she said, "Don't worry, you Brother Shen has already written a letter to your brother, and he will be sent to Lizhou as soon as possible."

"Thank you, sister-in-law and Brother Shen." Kong Zhixi's voice was a little bit astringent, but in the final analysis, she was too willful.

The two went to pay their respects to Jiahe, and Jiahe also knew that it was New Year's Eve today, so he didn't go to the Buddhist hall early in the morning, and was waiting in the Xiaofeng hall early, and was quite surprised to see Yuzhu bringing a girl over, "Yuzhu, this girl?"

Yuzhu explained Kong Zhixi's identity and the reason for coming to Beijing. Jiahe watched Kong Zhixi's eyes brighten up, and scrutinized her carefully, just like looking at her daughter-in-law.

Jiahe didn't know the Kong family, and she wasn't in Beijing when the Kong family had an accident, so she only knew that the Shen family had such a close friend, but she didn't see him.Looking at this young lady of the Kong family again, she is so beautiful and well-behaved that she is really endearing, and Jiahe has other thoughts.Yuzhu has been married for a year, and her stomach hasn't moved yet. It's a lie that she doesn't worry about it. Yuzhu is the only one beside her son. She thought, why not give her son a concubine? When she came to Shen's mansion to find someone, she didn't believe that she had no feelings for her son. Since she had feelings, this matter would be much easier to handle.

Jiahe withdrew her scrutinizing gaze, took Kong Zhixi's hand and patted it, and said with a smile, "She's a good girl, I'm too bored to stay here all day, why don't Zhixi come here and stay with me."

Yuzhu smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, Zhixi's yard has been tidied up, and we all stayed there for one night. It's really troublesome to move around."

Jiahe didn't say much and didn't say much, it won't be long before Yuzhu has other things to be busy, Jiahe said, "There are a lot of things in the house today, but you go to work on yours. Zhixi and I are very close, so let She stays here with me."

Yuzhu looked at Zhixi, and Zhixi said, "Sister-in-law, you have to do some work beforehand, I'm fine here."

Yuzhu nodded, and went back to the yard to give orders. Shen Xian just finished her work, Yuzhu said, "I still have some things to deal with here. Today is New Year's Eve. You should also go and ask your mother to say hello. Over there, you happened to meet. By the way, can you write a reply letter to Master Kong? I see that Zhixi does not want to get married, this matter cannot be forced, you speak to Master Kong."

Shen Xian said, "I explained in the letter that Jiao Jiao doesn't have to worry, I'll go and say hello first, and I'll be here in a while."

On Jiahe's side, just after Yuzhu left, Ji brought Shen Lin over to say hello, seeing a strange girl, Ji also became curious and asked, "Who is this girl?"

Jiahe smiled and said, "This is the daughter of the Kong family." As soon as she said this, the Ji family knew who it was. The Duke of the State had told her about the Kong family and told her to treat the Kong family well.

Jiahe looked at Kong Zhixi with a smile, "It would be a pity if such a good girl could be my daughter-in-law."

Kong Zhixi looked at her in disbelief, what nonsense is this princess talking about?She was shocked, and then heard Jiahe continue, "I saw you coming so far to look for Ah Xian, and I'm afraid I liked it a little bit. To be honest, it's really inappropriate for Ah Xian to be alone with my daughter-in-law. I thought, Would Zhixi be willing to serve Ah Xian as a concubine?" She had never thought that this was the governor's younger sister, with a clean family background, and in her eyes, she was just an orphan without father or mother.

Ji's family doesn't like Yuzhu, so it's good to be able to make trouble for her, so he agrees, "No, the prince keeps himself clean, but it's really not good to have only one by his side. If you can marry into Shen's residence, it's also very good."

Shen Lin gave Ji a hand, and said dissatisfied, "Auntie, what nonsense are you talking about?"
