The child who grew up under the tyranny of the Thunder God, his brain is full of blood, Shen Miaoping quietly leaned on Xie Yuzhi: "Hey, I see that Yelu Junqi seems to be pleased with the second master."
"Who?" Xie Yuzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and for a moment he suspected that something was wrong with his ears.
"The fifth prince of the Liao Dynasty, he was secretly looking at you just now and secretly sent a surprise to you." Shen Miao said with certainty.
"Oh," Xie Yuzhi didn't react unexpectedly, he raised his head and drank a glass of wine, his lips curled slightly, and asked Shen Miaoping meaningfully, "Do you know why he is looking at me?"
"have no idea."
"I killed both of his brothers."
"… "
Daliao and Jin went to war almost every year. The first and third princes of the Liao Kingdom led troops to expedition, but they were all beheaded by Xie Yuzhi. Later, the Lord of Liao died of illness, and the fourth prince born of the side concubine launched a mutiny and succeeded to the throne. This Yelu Jun Qi is a direct descendant, and he is afraid that he will be excluded by the monarch. Otherwise, the unfortunate errand of sending an ambassador to another country will never be his turn.
Shen Miaoping touched her chin after hearing this and thoughtfully said, "No wonder his eyes are so strange, this is a little dangerous, what if he wants to take revenge on Second Master."
Xie Yuzhi said casually: "If he wants to take revenge on me, you can't escape."
The emperor seemed to be a little out of spirit, and left after saying a few words. Because the princes under his knees were not yet adults and could not bear the big responsibility, Prince Li was in charge of the overall situation. The character smiled and toasted with Yelu Junqi, looking like they were talking happily.
Light flashed in Xie Yuzhi's eyes, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Chang Guogong Xie Yanping, but saw that his eyes were lightly closed, and he turned a blind eye to everything. Several old officials around saw some clues, and couldn't help frowning. meditation.
Prince Li is the emperor's uncle. Although he is a prince, he is simple in food and clothing, low-key in going out and out, and has a good reputation. The emperor also trusts him quite a bit. Even Shen Miaoping has heard of this Prince Li's good reputation. However, if a person acts too perfectly, it is a bit unpredictable.
Shen Miaoping looked over there, looked over here, and finally concluded, "Prince Li's family is really rich."
Xie Yuyi paused, and raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say this, Prince Li is always simple, and the carriage has never used a double driver."
Shen Miaoping thought about nothing else, just talking about Zhao Sixian, a fifteen or sixteen year old kid who has not yet left the family's control to become self-reliant, casually shot 6,000 pieces just to buy a crystal pendant for play, this kind of arrogance is not ordinary , You must know that Liu Zhenhu lost 7,000 passes last time, and he was beaten by the Marquis of Wu'an and still can't get to the ground.
But Shen Miaoping would not say this to Xie Yuzhi, it would be strange if the other party knew that he had sold the crystal pendant to someone else, so he shook his head and said, "I guessed it."
Xie Yuzhi said: "You guessed it? If you guessed so accurately, why would you think Yelu Junqi is happy with me?"
Shen Miaoping let out a sigh and leaned back in the chair, "Miaoping knows that he has little talent and knowledge, that he cannot use his writing to settle the world, that martial arts cannot set up the world, and that there are no five princes who are tall and powerful, so he feels inferior in his heart."
Normal people knew that Shen Miaoping would not feel inferiority complex at all, but Xie Yuzhi actually took it seriously, he gave Shen Miaoping an inexplicable look. Simple expression: "Really?"
Shen Miaoping covered her face with her hands and looked very lonely: "Seriously."
Xie Yuzhi didn't know why, he smiled and glanced at him, then looked away, looked at the dancing girl in the hall and said, "You are... quite self-aware."
Shen Miaoping put down her hands instantly: "What kind of pot goes with what kind of lid, we both have half a catty, let's make do with it."
Xie Yuzhi narrowed his eyes and snorted, "I knew you were pretending."
The two of them murmured here, which attracted Xie Yanping to stare at him. His eyes were bright, and he was not angry, and said solemnly: "Eat when you eat, drink when you drink, how can the two elders talk better than their mothers? more of them."
Xie Yuzhi suffered an innocent disaster, secretly glared at Shen Miaoping, then bowed his head to Xie Yanping to admit his mistake, "Father taught me."
Shen Miaoping also followed, "My son-in-law knows what's wrong, it's because I'm not good, I didn't understand many rules when I first came here, so I asked Yuzhi a lot, and he was attracted to speak."
Seeing that he was protecting Xie Yuzhi, Xie Yanping was only satisfied with ironing the post, how could he really blame him, he thought that Shen Miaoping, a weak bastard, could not even lift his sword, but his heart was not bad.
The sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra in the Qianbo Hall continued, and the banquet did not end until late at night. For some unknown reason, Concubine Zhao suddenly asked Xie Yanping to enter the inner hall to talk, and Shen Miaoping did it all on the grounds that she was missing her relatives. Just have to leave first.
Walking to the long palace road, Xie Pingzhi talked to Xie Yuzhi intentionally or unintentionally along the way, and his humility to his brother fell into the eyes of others, and he had a good reputation.
Xie Yuzhi was the most impatient of others to use him as a raft, and said to Xie Pingzhi: "I still have something to do, you bring your servants back to the house first."
Xie Pingzhi looked hesitant: "But brother, it's dark and the road is slippery, and you have leg problems. Let's go back together..."
Xie Yuzhi saw that he didn't listen, his voice was like counting the ice and snow in the nine cold days, and suddenly it became cold: "If you want to come back, come back, where do you come from so many words."
Hearing this, Xie Pingzhi's expression turned gloomy for a moment, his eyes rolled, his face turned pale instantly, he also glanced at Shen Miaoping deliberately, and he was aggrieved by the heavens, and finally left with a promise.
It is not easy to mix things between brothers, Shen Miaoping raised his head to look at the stars and the moon from the beginning to the end, nothing to do with himself was hanging up high, Xie Yuzhi turned his head and saw that he did not speak, looking at the endless road ahead, out of He asked back, "Do you think I was fierce and bullied him?"
Shen Miaoping smiled, "What kind of bullying is this, one is not beaten and two is not scolded."
He usually walks very fast, but now he deliberately slows down his pace, walking with Xie Yuzhi, holding his arm and saying, "I can't control you when you bully him, but I do when he bullies you."
Xie Yuzhi was stunned when he heard the words, and glanced at him in surprise. After reacting, he smiled and said slowly: "He and I are not siblings of the same mother, and there is a difference in our relationship. Besides, he is too hearty. Since he was a child, he fought openly and secretly with me, and I couldn't bear to talk to him."
Shen Miaoping expressed his understanding: "Even if it is born to a mother, it is not necessarily a good relationship, not to mention that the two crawling out of their stomachs are only for villains, or they will not provoke them. Otherwise, conspiracy and tricks will be used."
"Do you have experience, do you have half-brothers like me at home?"
"Me?" Shen Miaoping pointed to herself, and then said with a smile, "My father doesn't care about my mother and doesn't love me. I haven't even seen my own mother a few times, how can you be a brother."
He himself really felt that there was nothing miserable, but it would not be pleasant to fall into Xie Yuzhi's ears, his sleeve robes fell and he quietly grabbed Shen Miaoping's hand in the dark, he asked in a low voice, "You look like a smile all day long, Have you ever had a hard time in your heart?"
Shen Miaoping thought for a while, and then said, "I had it when I was young, but I think it's useless. Whoever made me sad, I just bullied me back, otherwise I would be happy."
Xie Yuzhi shook his head and laughed.
The two of them didn't ride in the carriage, and walked back slowly on the moonlight. They talked a lot along the way. For example, when Xie Yuzhi was forced to go to the battlefield at the age of sixteen by Duke Changguo, he hid in the tent the night before and secretly wiped it. Tears, Shen Miao was like a salted fish, her biggest dream when she was a child was to have a house of her own, no need to rely on others, all these things were trivial.
When approaching the mansion, Shen Miaoping remembered something and asked aloud, "Why did the noble concubine suddenly call her father-in-law into the inner hall, she is always steady, is there something urgent?"
Xie Yuzhi said without end: "It's not necessarily her who called your father, maybe someone else?"
Shen Miaoping did not understand: "Huh? What do you mean?"
Xie Yuzhi let go of him and walked forward on his own, with a little smile in his cold eyes: "I won't tell you, you can guess what you want."
Xie Yuzhi did not say it, perhaps there was a deeper meaning in it, the affairs of the Tianjia were the most impermanent, and the Duke of Chang's government held military power, so it was inevitable to be involved in it, but fortunately Shen Miaoping was not very curious, so he did not ask any further questions.
In the following days, the Daliao embassy did not leave in a hurry, but presented cattle, sheep, jewelry and other items to the emperor, which made Longyan happy. His Majesty ordered Prince Li to take them around to experience the customs of Dajin. , Shen Miao searched the streets on weekdays, as long as she passed the Chunxiao Tower, she would definitely see that bunch of Liao people.
"That group of people from Liao, they smell like meat, they don't like incense, they are rude and tight, but they make the sisters in the building worry to death, and Prince Li is not a good thing. Lou Leader, there is only our brothel in Quanshengjing. The opposite Lianyun Pavilion and Xueyue Goulan in Nanqu are not without beautiful girls! Come on, come here, don't follow the rules, you need to see the people in the building by name and surname. Top card, do you think this is a place where you can sleep with girls if you have money?!"
In the early morning, there was no one on the street, the brothel girl was still awake, just as Shen Miao and others were patrolling the street, Qian Tong’s old friend Ruoyun leaned on the railing and poured out the bitter water in her stomach, she couldn’t help but turn over after speaking. He rolled his eyes and didn't even care about his image, it was obvious that he was very disdainful of those Liao people in his heart.
Qian Tong giggled: "You hide, ask me for it when you are short of money, but don't rush to serve those beasts, just avoid this."
Ruoyun spit on his face: "A few days ago, I asked you to buy a hairpin without any money, so let's drink it again. I hope your mother will starve to death, and stand talking without back pain! Bah!"
Seeing this, Shen Miaoping didn't know what to say, she only said, "If they make trouble, they can report to the officials.
Ruoyun immediately changed his smile when he heard the words: "It's better for Lord Shen to speak more succinctly. It's different for officials."
After speaking, he turned around and went into the room, took out a packet of snacks, wrapped it in oil paper, and threw it straight from the upstairs into Qian Tong's arms: "If you don't eat serious meals all day, you know how to drink, so take it and get away!"
"Hey!"
Qian Tong responded with delight, and when he was patrolling the streets in the second half of the road, he saw Dim Sum smirking, Shen Miaoping took everything into his eyes and smiled: "If you like her and save a few years of salary, you can do it for her. Redeem."
Qian Tong heard the words and sighed: "The adults don't know, after she is an official, she can't be redeemed by falling into a low status."
Shen Miaoping was stunned: "So it is..."
At the beginning of the evening when the lanterns came on, the boats in the lake flowed down the river. The singer sat on the bow and played a string of music. The soft singing drifted far away, gently caressing the beautiful thoughts in people's hearts. But the atmosphere is unusual.
"It's just a prostitute in a brothel, what are the three, six, nine, etc., can't I still have a woman for the dignified fifth prince of Liao?!"
Yelu Jun clapped the table and stood up, with the sword drawn from his waist, pointing at the horrified old bustard on the ground and said, "I kept saying that I would not accept guests, but I clearly saw a man enter her room, today you can either let Xue Xue Yi girl comes out to accompany me, or hand over that man!"
Hearing this, the old bustard stood up with the help of the girl, covered his heart with a handkerchief, and pretended to be calm: "There are rules for one line, Xueyi is a poet, and if the fifth prince likes her, he will go and ask her for help. Huan Xin, this is the guest of honor, I have opened Chunxiaolou for more than ten years, and I have come and gone with countless officials, and I have never seen anyone who used power to overwhelm people to break the rules!"
After speaking, he looked at Prince Li who was sitting next to him: "Your Highness, tell me the truth, did the slave family ever tell a lie?"
Hearing this, Prince Li slowly stroked his beard, with a calm expression on his face, and only said: "You are a guest from afar, Prince Yelu is a VIP that the emperor said he would treat well, and it's okay to invite Miss Xueyi to come out to accompany her. ."
Hearing this, the old bustard spat in his heart, knowing that the old fox didn't want to take care of it, he just scolded the nest of snakes and rats, but still stubbornly refused to let people down.
Xueyi hid in the room, her eyes seemed to have flames burning, she gritted her teeth and was about to go out, but was stopped by a man who looked like a scholar: "No! Beast…”
"But I can't just leave the sisters in the building alone!"
Xueyi threw him away, and then opened the window again: "The Liao people are blocking the bottom. He recognizes you, the building is not high, you should jump from here and escape! Don't come back!"
The man stubbornly refused to leave, Xueyi was in a hurry, and slapped him with the backhand: "I have devoted all of my private resources to your studies and exams to gain fame, in order to fulfill your aspirations to make achievements and serve the country, not to let you die under the sword of a Liao dog! Hurry up! If you don't leave, I will die in front of you!"
The man's eyes were red, and he said sharply: "Xueyi!"
Xueyi was helpless: "You run away and go to the imperial censor of the city, Lord Shen. You can't save me. If you can't save me, it's my life! Let's go!"
Shen Miaoping had already paid off and was walking home, who would have thought that a staggered man suddenly appeared not far from the road at night. He could not tell the difference between male and female, and his hair was messy. come from the side.
There are many Liao people making troubles recently, so they are very busy and the lower value is later than usual. The Jingjie drum has already sounded, except for the busy area in Pingkangfang, there are no people on the street. Shen Miaoping is actually very afraid of ghosts. Seeing this, my heart skipped a beat, and my footsteps could not help speeding up a little.
Unexpectedly, the person behind him saw that he was walking faster and faster, and also increased the speed. Shen Miaoping looked back and felt a jerk in her heart, she felt her heart skip a beat and she simply ran away.
