Chapter 38 Clothes

The next day, the situation in the capital changed suddenly.The king of Linjiang, who is a strong holy family, falsely fabricated rumors to confuse the people in the praying temple. The holy Longyan was furious, demoted him back to his fiefdom, and ordered him not to enter Beijing for three years.As soon as this news came out, the Anqing Palace and the Leping Palace were much more lively than usual, and some officials came to pay their respects in their old age, the intention was self-evident.

Pei Yunkuang felt a lot more relaxed in his heart. The King of Linjiang had been eyeing his fief all along, and now he could feel more at ease.However, after many years of management, King Linjiang will definitely not let it go, and there are still many of his henchmen in the court.Pei Yunkuang knew him very well, and he would never die peacefully in Yanzhou.Shang Yu and Zhan Peng are in the limelight now, one is in the Ministry of War and the other is in the Gyeonggi Guards Battalion.Then, next, the two should be brought closer to Pei Ziyou, implying that if the King of Linjiang has rebellion, they are willing to help each other in order to achieve prosperity and wealth.

When King Linjiang wanted to rebel, that is, when Shang Yu could return to Cangqiao, he had an explanation for his promise to his father and uncle.Years of painstaking efforts and prudence at every step finally brought about a clearer situation step by step, moving towards the direction he wanted step by step.Then it should be time to join forces with the ministers of the DPRK and China to bring down Zhang Guoshi.Qishimen asked a girl to be Suzaku just for this day.

When he first saw her, he felt very close to her eyes.She feels demure and gentle but also strong in undertones. She confessed that she came to Qishimen for money, but when he handed her a jade pendant on the stone steps to test her, she didn't accept it and only lent him three. two silver.He likes such a person very much, he is not greedy.

This girl was like a small stone, stirring up waves in his heart.Everything seemed to be going smoothly, and it was all within his expectation, only her was an accident.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Zuo Sheng came.Si Tian finally understood why Zuo Shiqiu took such good care of his children and did not allow them to eat outside food. It turned out that this was how he killed other people's children, so he was extra careful about his own children's diet.

Her heart was full of hatred for Zuo Shiqiu, but she couldn't hate Zuo Sheng.He is Zuo Shiqiu's favorite son, but he is him, and his father is his father.Seeing him, she thought of her younger brother, and her heart ached.Maybe he has been sick since he was a child, which is the punishment given to Zuo Shiqiu by heaven.

She spread the silver hooks evenly on the chessboard, using the trick Shang Yu taught back then to add fragrance to the red sleeves.This medicinal powder is extremely absorbent, when Zuo Sheng played chess, it would stick to his fingers.During Xie Cong's one and a half hours of teaching chess, Zuo Shenghui took a break to eat some cakes and drink some water.Although he will definitely clean his hands, but the medicine powder can only wash off a little on his fingers.Both Shao Pei's method and Su Pian's medicine are amazing.

After sprinkling the powder, she felt a little bit unbearable and guilty, but thinking of Xiao'an, she hardened her heart again.How innocent is Xiao An?One day, she will make Zuo Shiqiu pay the price.

Sending Zuo Sheng away, Xie Cong saw that Si Tian was depressed and preoccupied, so he put away the chessboard and comforted him, "Don't worry, Liang Guoren will cure him. Zuo Sheng was cured when he was a child, so Zuo Shiqiu I trust him very much. As long as he says that Zuo Sheng's illness is caused by Gu Yang Dan, Zuo Shiqiu will believe it."

The two were talking when suddenly someone knocked on the door.

Si Tian opened the door, and the servant at the door said: "My lord, there are guests here."

Xie Cong came out of the room and walked to the door of the chess club, his eyes lit up.

There is a grove of plums outside the chess club, and there is a handsome young master with elegant appearance and good manners.When he saw Xie Cong, he was taken aback for a moment, then he calmed down and asked, "Excuse me, is Mr. Xie here?"

Xie Cong chuckled, "I am."

"I've admired you for a long time." The man cupped his hands and said, "My surname is Mei, and I'm here to pay a visit to Young Master. Please give me your advice."

Xie Cong's eyes waved with a smile: "Don't dare, please come inside." Mr. Mei?He secretly smiled inwardly.

The two entered the chess room, Si Tian only stayed outside for less than an hour, when he saw the young master come out from inside.

She was so surprised that the game was over so quickly?

Mr. Mei bid farewell to Xie Cong, boarded the sedan chair at the door, and left in a hurry.

Si Tian looked at his back and felt that something was wrong there, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Xie Cong looked at the sedan chair and said with a smile: "I seldom play chess with girls, I only played one game, and I was very unhappy."

Si Tian asked in surprise, "Is she really a girl?"

"That's natural."

Si Tian asked: "It's because she's a girl that you let her lose so quickly?" Brother Cong is really a romantic person who loves women and jade, she wanted to laugh.

"No, she deliberately lost before I let you go. In my opinion, she came here out of ulterior motives."

Si Tian wondered, "Oh, why?"

Xie Cong said: "Just now, she seems to have mentioned something accidentally, I heard that the son of the world often comes to play chess with Mr. Xie."

"You mean, she wants to inquire about Pei Siyu?" After being with Pei Yunkuang, she also became sensitive.

"It's possible. This eldest son is even more secretive than our prince, and usually stays at home."

"What else did she ask?"

"Ask when Pei Siyu usually comes. It seems that I have to get someone to tell the prince to send someone to investigate the origin of this girl Mei."

The next day, Pei Yunkuang's subordinates found out that the woman was Mei Hanlin's daughter, Mei Qin, the queen's niece.After Pei Yunkuang found out, he was shocked. The eyeliner in the palace had mentioned to him a few days ago that Mei Hanlin and the queen intended to marry Pei Siyu, but now it seems that this is not groundless.

The queen has no children, so if Mei Qin is promised to Pei Siyu, she will definitely try her best to make Pei Siyu or King Leping ascend the throne.In this way, in the future, the harem will still be her world.If this marriage is successful, Pei Siyu will have one more bargaining chip.

He knew very well that at the moment he and King Leping had the upper hand, and the emperor's attitude towards him was obviously better than that of Pei Siyu.However, if the queen and Mei Hanlin sided with Pei Siyu, it would be extremely disadvantageous to him.However, Pei Siyu is cautious and low-key, it is difficult to find any loopholes to break this marriage.

He called the sedan chair and left the palace.

The sedan chair arrived at Wutong Lane and turned to a small courtyard.This place is dilapidated and desolate, and it seems that there has been no one inhabited for a long time.

The servant Hou was at the door, and he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

It was Shao Pei who opened the door.He was startled when he saw Pei Yunkuang.

"How did you come?"

Pei Yunkuang entered the yard and closed the door behind him, and said in a low voice, "Uncle, the matter is urgent, and I am in a hurry to discuss it with you."

There was no outsider in the courtyard, so Pei Yunkuang called him uncle directly.This is the old house of the Shao family. Shao Pei lived here when he came to Beijing.

"what's up?"

"Mei Hanlin's daughter will be promised to Pei Siyu."

Shao Pei frowned and stood in the courtyard for a long time without saying a word.He once persuaded Pei Yunkuang to propose marriage to Mei Hanlin after the death of his concubine. At that time, Pei Yunkuang was sending Su Wan to the palace, not wanting to take advantage of the queen's relationship. Unexpectedly, Su Wan entered the palace without doing anything.

Shao Pei sighed, and said: "Back then, King Linjiang was in the limelight. You went to propose marriage to Mei Hanlin. The purpose was too obvious, and he must be jealous. Now, after the Muyu incident happened, King Linjiang has been demoted back to his fiefdom. Right now, it's you and Mei Hanlin. There is a dispute between King Leping. If I knew it earlier, it would be better for you to propose marriage."

Pei Yunkuang smiled and shook his head: "It's meaningless to talk about it now." It's not that he hasn't thought about it, but he has a cleanliness freak, and if there are other ways, he doesn't want to wrong himself so much. Sometimes his Arrogance gave Shao Pei a headache.

Shao Pei said: "I have an idea. Didn't Mei Qin want to meet Pei Siyu first? If Pei Siyu doesn't satisfy her, this matter won't happen."

Pei Yunkuang smiled bitterly: "It is precisely because Pei Siyu really has nothing to dissatisfy that I came to discuss with my uncle. His appearance, character, talents, temperament, it is extremely difficult to find anything."

Shao Peidao: "Since Mei Qin disguised herself and went out to see Pei Siyu in person, it shows that this girl is arrogant and has high demands on others. Then let her see an unknown scene of Pei Siyu in the chess club by chance."

Pei Yunkuang's heart skipped a beat, and he already guessed what Shao Pei meant.In an instant, his heart felt sour and awkward.

Shao Pei said again: "This has another advantage, that is, it will alienate the relationship between him and the left minister."

Pei Yunkuang understood Shao Pei's meaning after thinking about it, but he still frowned and remained silent.

Shao Peidao: "It just so happens that Zuo Sheng will get sick in the next few days after taking the silver hook. Xie Cong just proposed to Prime Minister Zuo that it would be more convenient to teach the young master if he lived in the mansion. This happened in the chess club. When Pei Siyu saw the accident, Xie Cong moved to Prime Minister Zuo He will definitely guess that this matter was ordered by Prime Minister Zuo. This matter is indecent and cannot be publicized, so he can only settle the matter and make peace with others. If the marriage fails, he will keep this account on Zuo Shiqiu's head."

Pei Yunkuang frowned, and said for a while, "I don't know if she wants to."

Shao Pei said: "You don't need to tell her about it. It must be done as soon as possible."

The sedan chair went out from the other end of the alley, and he held the jade pendant in his waist, tightly in his palm.This is a good move, but the pawn is her.He was very blocked, in addition to being unhappy, he also felt sour.At this moment, he especially wanted to see her.He hesitated in his heart, should he explain to her in advance, or pretend he didn't know?His heart was shaken, and there was a kind of pain like parting love.

When it got dark, Si Tian closed the window and lit the lamp.On the bed, there was a piece of fabric and a ruler, which she bought in the afternoon.The man said that the wind is the rain.

She wanted to buy him a random piece of coarse cloth and make a random dress to perfuse him.But when she got to the shop, she couldn't help choosing the best fabric for him.Because along the way, she gradually thought of his kindness in her heart.He is a bit domineering and unreasonable, but he is a gentleman.He was aboveboard in everything he did, for example, he watched over her that night, but he didn't do anything to her.Take this dress as a gift for him and return his favor.

If it wasn't for the shadow of Pei Yunkuang in her heart early on, maybe she would gradually like him.Pei Yunkuang's words by the river suddenly sounded in her ear, "In the future, great rivers and mountains, I will let you take a good look at them." This is actually a promise about the future.

She was stunned, and the tip of the scissors accidentally touched her finger.She suddenly woke up, she couldn't accept such a promise, she could only pretend that she didn't understand.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

She got up to open the door, the moonlight was cold, and Shang Yu stood outside the door.

She blushed, he came too often.

"The clothes haven't been made yet, so you can come back another day." She planned to close the door.

He reached out and pressed the door to block it, then took a step forward, almost touching her body.

She had no choice but to step back and let him into the house.He stepped into the house, closed the door casually, looked at her with a smile, and asked, "Have you started making clothes? Do you know my size?"

In fact, she planned to estimate the length and do it casually.What clothes did he lack? It was just an excuse to ask her to make him a dress.She had never made clothes before, and to be honest, she had no confidence in her craft. She remembered that she had given him a pair of boots, but she had never seen him wear them, which showed that he was very picky about clothes.Therefore, she had already thought that the finished dress would end up in his suitcase and be used as a proof to make fun of her in the future.

He walked into the room and saw the ruler and fabric on the bed at a glance, and he was in a good mood.He stepped forward to pick up the ruler, handed it to her, then stretched out his arms and said, "Measure it for me."

She bit the bullet and stepped forward, not daring to stick the ruler on his clothes, and began to draw a few inches away.

As she measured it, her face began to feel hot.This man is tall and straight.The arms are long, and so are the legs.Standing very close, I could smell the masculine breath on his body, as strong as wine, vigorous as the morning sun.Aggressive and disconcerting.

She turned to him and measured the size of his collar.When she raised her eyes, she saw his jaw, which was a faint blue color. She didn't dare to look at it. She moved her eyes down and accidentally saw his Adam's apple again. She still felt that something was wrong and she couldn't look at it.

His breath sprayed on her forehead, and the heat made her face hotter and hotter.

After finally measuring, she put down the ruler and let out a sigh of relief. This moment is really like a year.

He lowered his arm, but suddenly stretched forward and hugged her.

She struggled in panic, he didn't hug her tightly, but loosely wrapped his arms around her, but she couldn't get out of his embrace no matter what.

"Si Tian, ​​Si Tian."

He looked down at her, called her name softly, but said nothing.

Her face was so red that it was almost as red as a red candle, and she quickly scolded: "Let go, this is the chess club, be careful of others seeing it."

"I sneaked here and no one saw me."

She said again: "You go, I, I want to make clothes."

Thinking of her going to make a dress for him with her own hands, his heart was warm and tender, and he couldn't help saying: "You will make clothes for me all your life, right?"

Didn't that mean she blurted out: "No." After finishing speaking, she herself felt that she was not imposing enough, as if she had never succeeded in refusing in front of him.

He smiled and said, "Apart from saying no, is there anything else?"

She got angry and said twice: "Don't even think about it, it's impossible."

He thinks she is very cute when she is angry, and even more cute when she says she can't even think about it, he is as drunk as he is, and he is not willing to let go.

She stomped anxiously: "Quickly let go." She didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear that others would hear it.She felt that she really had nothing to do with him.However, she didn't hate him, he was also very kind to her, and she was her senior brother, she really couldn't lower her face to scold him or turn her face on him as she did to a stranger or a scoundrel.Therefore, she was very distressed how to refuse to appear harmless and effective.

Fortunately, he let her go, the future will be long, and he doesn't want to push her too tightly.

Suddenly, Xie Cong's voice came from outside the door: "Si Tian, ​​are you awake? The prince sent someone to pick you up."

She was taken aback, and so was he.
