Red makeup against the world

Chapter 859
Shi Jingze leaned lazily on the doorpost, his hands hanging down to follow the rhythm of the piano.

Knowing that she was coming this afternoon, he specially asked for leave at the Ministry of War.Even if he couldn't see her, being under the same roof with her would allow him to gain some psychological comfort.

When he arrived at the Yamen early this morning, he knew that Wu Zhengxiang had returned.

At this moment, hearing her play such a cheerful piece of music, does his return make her so happy?He clearly knew that he shouldn't think about it anymore, but his mind was spinning wildly uncontrollably.

His phoenix eyes showed Xiao Suo, he clenched his fists, turned around and walked towards the backyard.

I'm just visiting my adopted sister whom I haven't seen for a long time.Shi Jingze told himself so.

At the end of the song, Shi Jingfu applauded enthusiastically, not stinging her appreciation. "Second sister, I also learned a song, can you help me give pointers?"

Xu Wanzhen responded with a smile, Shi Jingfu's lively character is really attractive.

Shi Jingfu sat down, lightly pressed her fingers on the strings, and immediately seemed to be a different person, focusing on the piano in front of her.

The sound of the piano curls up, like autumn geese flying across the high and vast sky, and like birds chirping freely in the green trees.Her fingering may be a bit jerky, but the sound of the piano is extremely pure.

Musical instruments are the ones that can best reflect a person's heart, and they can't hide their emotions the most.

Before finishing a piece, Xu Wanzhen concluded that Shi Jingfu was extremely talented in guqin.Skills can be compensated by hard work in the later stage, but talent cannot.

At the end of the song, Shi Jingfu's eyes were blurred, obviously still caught in the artistic conception brought by the sound of the piano.After a while, she woke up and asked with a smile, "Second Sister, how is my playing?"

Xu Wanzhen nodded and said: "Sister Fu is extremely talented in this. As long as you are willing to practice hard and study hard, it is possible to become a generation of masters."

"Really?" Shi Jingfu was overjoyed.

The teacher who taught the piano also said that she was talented, but she never gave such affirmation.

Xu Wanzhen looked into her eyes, nodded firmly, and said, "Believe me, you will definitely be able to."

In her previous life, she studied in the world's top music academy and met many music masters.In them, without exception, a common trait can be seen.

But now, she saw this quality in Shi Jingfu again.

After standing up and correcting her a few fingerings, Xu Wanzhen said, "I have confidence in you." Music is her profession, and the two discussed it, fascinated.

Shi Jingze gently raised his hand to stop the maid who wanted to report, leaning against the door and watching the two quietly.

Xu Wan really discussed with Shi Jingfu to the point, her jade-like face shone with confidence, making it impossible to take your eyes away.

He looked at her greedily.She is even more beautiful, and this beauty is like poison, slowly soaking into the depths of the soul.It's just that she has lost a lot of weight. Could it be that Wu Zhengxiang has been away for more than two months, and she is so in love?
Perhaps, there are other reasons that I don't know.Shi Jingze felt that he was getting further and further away from her world.Although she is close in front of her eyes, she can't touch her thoughts.

Shi Jingfu was discussing happily, suddenly raised her eyes, and said happily, "Brother is here?"

Shi Jingze stood up straight, smiled warmly, and hummed.

Xu Wanzhen also stopped the topic she was discussing, stood up and bowed, with an elegant and dignified demeanor.The high-spirited look just now disappeared, replaced by proper etiquette and respect for the brother-in-law.

"I've seen big brother."

Shi Jingze secretly sighed in his heart, he could only see her beauty when she was not on guard.Well, it was a blessing to see her.

"I got a copy of the piano score by chance, so I came here to give it to Fu'er, and I stopped by to have a look." Shi Jingze covered his thoughts and smiled.

"I didn't know that the second sister was here, but I was abrupt."

"I was the one to be rude." Xu Wanzhen said with a shallow smile, "This is originally the elder brother's home, where can I not go?"

At the peony flower meeting, fortunately Shi Jingze rescued her, and she was able to come out of the well.To him, Xu Wan is really grateful.

"I said, you two are too polite!" Shi Jingfu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "The ones who push around are not like my family at all."

"Since the eldest brother is here, let's sit in another place." After finishing speaking, he raised his voice and ordered his servants to prepare the warm pavilion, and the three of them moved there to drink tea and talk, and the servants brought some snacks up.

Shi Jingze sat down for a while, then left.Even if they are brothers and sisters, he can't sit for too long, let alone Xu Wanzhen.

He restrained the impulse deep in his heart and walked away calmly.

"Second sister, elder brother is doing a good job in the Ministry of War, and his superiors all praise him." Shi Jingfu was really happy for him.

Although her temperament is innocent and simple, she is the young lady of the Duke's Mansion after all, and she also vaguely knows about the important affairs in the family.

An Guogong's mansion has always been a man with its tail between its tails, and the eldest brother is also depressed. He has no errands on him, so he can only wander around to pass the time.

In the past two years, the mansion has gained some color, the eldest brother has a real deficiency, and his abilities have a place to be used.The only pity is that the imperial concubine was seriously ill and could not give birth to a son.

The two talked a few more words, then changed the topic to another place.

Mrs. Zhuang kept dinner, and when Xu Wanzhen returned to Duke Zhong's mansion, it was already dark.In winter, the days are short, Madam Zheng sent Zhiyu to wait for her at the second gate with a lantern.

"Husband hasn't come back yet?"

Mother Zheng agreed, and said: "Second Young Master sent someone, I'm afraid it will be later. Let Young Madam rest earlier, so you don't have to wait for him."

With the current situation, I don't know what to do.The emperor has a lot of trust in him, and I'm afraid he's busy just now.

……

The night is as thick as ink, in the imperial city.

Wu Zhengxiang sat on a spring stool one foot in front of Emperor Qinglong, his upper body leaned forward slightly, and was listening respectfully.

Emperor Qinglong was half lying on the couch, and Wu Guangqi waited on him.

The bedroom hall was brightly lit, and after Wu Zhengxiang entered the palace until now, he explained the ins and outs of the matter in detail before Emperor Qinglong made up his mind.

"The matter of the Great Victory in the Northern Territory will be held for ten days." After coughing a few times, Emperor Qinglong said, "I want to see who will jump out."

He dragged his sick body, but the sense of oppression on his body remained undiminished, and the majesty of an emperor radiated from his eyes.

Wu Zhengxiang brought the news of Jinyang's great victory, and the good news had already passed from the post station to the palace three days earlier.But Emperor Qinglong kept it secret all the time, just waiting for the exact news from Wu Zhengxiang.

The chaos caused by Bakunlin, the crown prince forced the palace in the capital, Jiang Chen's shadow was behind both of them.

On that day, only the rebel soldiers who invaded the imperial city were executed, and the culprits were not held accountable. This was not because Emperor Qinglong was benevolent, but because the situation forced him to stabilize the government.

But this time is different.

The toxicity on his body has stabilized, and he can live for at least two years.Under his nose, Jiang Chen plotted against Feng Mingxian, which made him furious.

Jiang Chen had already fled, and he had gone all over the country to arrest documents, so he ignored him for the time being.
