When He Yan and Xiao Jue returned to He's house, He Sui and He Yunsheng actually sat well in the house. He Yan was stunned for a moment, a little surprised that he was so calm today. But He Sui saw Xiao Jue, got up and said with a smile: "When I came back, I heard from the Chiwu guard that Dudu Xiao took the little girl out, and now I come back, I don't know if I have eaten, do you want to use it together?"
He Yan said: "I've used it, it's not necessary." He turned his head to look at Chiwu standing on the side, and Chiwu turned his face away as if nothing had happened. He Yan thought to himself, oh, co-authoring this master and servant two colluded, not only deceived himself, but also deceived his old father together.
"Just call me Huai Jin," Xiao Jue said.
He Yunsheng choked "cough cough cough".
He Sui glared at He Yunsheng, and stuck a sesame cake in his mouth, "Eat well! There are guests at home, and rice grains are sprayed everywhere, it's so rude!"
He Yan then said: "Nothing, Dad, Yunsheng, you can eat, I still have something to tell Xiao Jue, go into the house." After that, he pulled Xiao Jue away first.
If she stayed here any longer, she would feel uncomfortable seeing Father He.
He Sui smiled lovingly: "Go."
After the two of them left, He Yunsheng pulled the sentinel out of his mouth and said sullenly, "Dad, is this really okay?"
"What?"
"He Yan has taken the man into the boudoir, what does it look like when it spreads out? When the bastard Fan Cheng was there, He Yan ran out to look at him and you would be furious at home. Why did you change to Dudu Xiao? Dad, you are here. Forgiving?"
He Sui scolded him: "Can Governor Xiao be the same as Fan Cheng?"
"It's all men, what's the difference."
He Sui looked at He Yunsheng and was puzzled, "You didn't admire General Feng Yun the most before, why is it awkward now?"
He Yunsheng put the chopsticks on the table and said angrily, "General Feng Yun can't go into the women's boudoir without getting married."
"Did he drill it by himself?" He Sui slapped him on the head, "You don't have eyes, that was dragged in by your sister!"
There was no way to refute these words, He Yunsheng puffed out his cheeks for a long time, and said with gnashing teeth, "What an unsatisfactory fellow, you're stunned!"
…
He Yan didn't know that her actions just now had caused a dispute between the old father and the silly younger brother in the house. She dragged Xiao Jue into her room, closed the door, and lit the oil lamp with a torch, "Okay, not now. people."
As soon as Xiao Juefu entered the room, he felt that he was almost blind.
The bells and whistles in this room are completely different from He Yan's temperament. Rouge gouache and sachets are everywhere. I don’t know, I thought there was a lovely lady living there, but when I looked back, the heroine who jumped on the table and was pouring tea was placed in this room, it was really annoying. watch.
He picked up a bronze mirror engraved with flowers on the table, and asked inexplicably, "Do you like this?"
He Yan glanced at it: "How can it be possible? This is all left by the original Miss He." She regained her senses, "Don't think I like this. It's just that if all are torn down, it will be very different from the past. It's a bit suspicious. And..." She sighed, "I've been occupying the magpie's nest, and I feel bad about it. If I replace or replace all these things, I'm afraid that in the future, I will go to the Palace of the King of Hell and find the real Miss He. I'll do the math."
Xiao Jue frowned: "Nonsense."
He Yan blinked, "Tong Yan Wuji, don't care."
Xiao Jue looked at her calmly: "Aren't you afraid of me now?"
"I've never been afraid of you." He Yan smiled and said, "Anyway, you know my secret now." She looked like a rogue, "Besides, I was just on the mountain, and I was no worse than you when we fought against you. , your sword was cut into two pieces by me."
Although cheating.
She doesn't hate it now, Xiao Jue smiled and remembered another thing: "What about your sword?"
He Yan smiled slightly.
Her sword refers to the Qinglang sword. It is not so much that Xiao Jue is asking her what to do with the sword, but rather that she is asking her what she plans to do to the Xu family and the He family.
"When I had an accident, the Xu family and the He family conspired together. He Rufei is a fake Feihong general. I have to uncover this matter. In the first battle of Huayuan, he did something to make his cronies in the Fuyue Army die in vain. I must settle this account with him." He Yan's brows were cold and stern, "I originally planned to leave Qin mama as a witness, there are still remnants of the army left in the Huayuan battle, if you search carefully, you may be able to find them. Whereabouts. Compared with He Rufei, Xu Zhiheng's side is easier to start. As long as someone proves that Xu Zhiheng designed and murdered 'Grandma Xu', when Xu Zhiheng is not safe, he will definitely pull He Rufei into the water. It's solvable."
He Yan looked at Xiao Jue: "What do you think?"
Since her rebirth, she has carried her own secrets that must not be discovered. Now that she has an alliance, she suddenly feels relaxed. Even if Xiao Jue does nothing, if there are people who go with her along the way, she will add infinite strength to herself.
"Countermeasures?"
He Yan's eyes lit up.
The intervening one makes the enemy suspicious of each other, and the opposite one is the intervening one because of the enemy.
"Then do you send someone to He Rufei's side, or to Xu Zhiheng's side?" He Yan thought to himself.
"Both ends are acceptable," Xiao Jue said.
"I don't have that many people available."
"I have." Xiao Jue glanced at her, "I'll help you."
The corners of He Yan's mouth turned up again, suddenly thought of something, and complained: "But you sent someone to investigate Qin mama before, why didn't you tell me, I managed to bribe Fu Wang, the little servant who guards the Xu family's gate. , I spent a lot of money on him. If I knew you had already inquired about it, why should I spend those unjust money, and now the money has been lost... "
"He Yan," Xiao Jue interrupted her, "Are you out of money?"
"Cough cough," He Yan put his fist on his lips and coughed lightly, "It's not completely absent."
The next moment, there was a stack of silver bills on the table.
He Yan's eyes were straightened, he swallowed, and looked away with difficulty: "No merit, no reward."
Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows: "Really not?"
He Yan quickly grabbed it and stuffed it into his arms, and said sternly: "When I borrowed it from you, I also have a salary now... I will pay you back when I get the salary."
"No need," Xiao Jue said, "keep it for yourself, don't look for me if it's not enough."
He Yan has lived for two lifetimes, and this is the first time he has tasted the feeling of spending money. Although she was not short of money in her previous life, when she was in the He family, she had never tasted the indulgence of a "playful boy", except for her due spending. When the merits were made later, His Majesty gave a lot of rewards, but today this brother in the barracks borrowed a little bit, and the friend's family was in difficulty.
After entering Xu's house, not only must he be a "good wife", but he must not be reckless, not to mention that he will become blind soon. The housekeeper is in He Wanru's hands, and he has not even touched the shadow of silver. Now I finally tried it, and it tastes good.
"Xiao Jue, you are really a good person." He Yan flattered: "You are more kind-hearted than the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Yuhua Temple."
Xiao Jue sneered: "Whoever gives you money will you treat someone as a good person?"
"That's not it." He Yan said, "However, everyone else is asking me for things, and there are too few people who are willing to give me things." She propped her chin up and looked at Xiao Jue, "It seems that you have never asked me for it. what."
In her previous life, she has been giving, whether it is active or passive, emotional or financial, only this person in front of her has been giving silently, never asking for it.
Xiao Jue looked down at her, and after a while, suddenly said, "I'm very wronged."
He Yan straightened up: "What?"
"Have suffered a lot, given up the glory you have fought for to others, and be willing to return to the time when you had nothing, don't you feel wronged?" he asked.
He Yan was stunned for a while, then she was silent for a while, then she said, "I used to have this feeling, but now I don't." She smiled, "I have Father He, Yunsheng, Qingmei, Mai, Shishi, Wangba They... and you, much better than the previous life."
"Really, Xiao Jue," she said seriously, "I don't feel wronged."
Xiao Jue stared at her, and after a while, turned his head sideways and said, "Fool."
He Yan disapproved, "Then you are not being played around by a fool. When I was in Liangzhou Wei, I knew who you were early on. Second Young Master Xiao, Governor Xiao, secretly taught me swordsmanship when I was a classmate. The good things are not named, so who will believe it? The world will think that Second Young Master Xiao has other plans for me."
"And the mole on your waist... tsk tsk."
Xiao Jue's face stiffened.
"Rebel?" he asked.
"The truth." He Yan spread his hands.
Xiao Jue stood up and went out.
"Oh, you're angry?" He Yan hurriedly pulled him by the sleeve and pulled him, and apologized in a tone of voice, "I was wrong, I shouldn't make fun of you, Dudu Xiao, don't be angry, I apologize to you, what can I do? forgive me?"
Xiao Jue paused and turned around suddenly. He Yan was sitting at the table, and was taken aback by his turning back. The distance between the two of them was extremely close. "yes?"
He Yan stared at him blankly and nodded subconsciously.
He leaned a little closer and curled his lips slightly, "Okay."
"What, what?"
"Let's... get married as soon as possible."
He Yan was stunned.
The handsome and bright face of the young man was in front of him, his eyes were as deep as if he wanted to suck someone in, "He Rufei has already begun to doubt your identity, you are too dangerous alone."
"I want to protect you."
…
Almost a quarter of an hour after Xiao Jue left, He Yan was still sitting at the table thinking about what he said when he left.
As soon as He Yunsheng came in, he frowned and asked, "He Yan, did you pick up the money or get the treasure, with such a permeating smile?"
He Yan turned his head, rubbed his face, and said suspiciously, "Am I smiling?"
He Yunsheng sighed and sat down at the table, "No wonder Dad looks at General Feng Yun like a fat sheep, with your aptitude, he can see you, either because of a problem with your eyes or with your brain. "
He Yan grabbed a leaf and smashed it at him: "Did you say that about your sister?"
"Do you look like a big sister yourself?" He Yunsheng scorned, "You pulled him into the room. My father and I are also men, ahem, why don't you pay attention to yourself."
"Why are you more old-fashioned than your father?" He Yan puzzled: "You're young, like an old man. I brought him in because we had business talks. Where did you think of it?"
He Yunsheng said impatiently, "I don't care about you. I came here to discuss the dowry with you."
He Yan: "What?"
The young man's face was filled with real distress, "Now the emperor has given me a marriage, but I can't do it if I don't marry. The Xiao family is rich, and our family can barely support ourselves. I'm still studying, and I can't be as good as before. Doing the same work to make money, although you became an official, you were fined for a year's salary, and now the father is the only one in the family to receive the wages to make money. The money you gave me originally, my father and I kept it for your future plans, who Knowing that you found someone like that, that might not be enough money, so… I mean…”
"what do you mean?"
"Postpone the wedding date, and when I start to make money in the future, if I earn enough of your dowry, you can remarry to the Xiao family."
He Yan: "..."
Her stupid younger brother is a genius, and she can even think of such a way. Fortunately, Xiao Jue is not here at the moment. If he hears it, the front foot will say that he will get married as soon as possible, and the rear foot will be demolished by He Yunsheng, and Liang Zi will be settled.
"Isn't it just silver?" He Yan said, "I'll go to Letongzhuang again if it's a big deal."
"You dare!" He Yun said angrily, "It was only in the past. Now you are a famous person anyway. How can you be as foolish as before? If Dudu Xiao knew about this, what would he think of you?"
He Yan: "..."
Oh, He Yan thought to himself, Xiao Jue has seen the picture with her, what else can you think of her? How to look how to look. Little kids don't know much and make a fuss. But she also knew that this young man was like this, so she said: "Okay, if you don't go, you won't go, isn't it money?" She took out a stack of silver notes from her arms, which Xiao Jue gave her just now, "I have a lot of money here. Yes."
He Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, "Where did you get the bank note?"
"Ask Xiao Jue to borrow it," He Yan said confidently, "it's not enough to ask him for it."
"Are you crazy?" He Yunsheng reprimanded: "You borrowed his money to raise a dowry for yourself? Are you talking about it yourself?"
"It's ridiculous, but there's no need to be so surprised." He Yan looked at him with a smile, "Actually, the dowry isn't a big deal. You know, it's not a big deal that can be solved with money in the world."
In fact, Xiao Jue doesn't care about the secret that she has died once, or that she is "General Feihong", which is more shocking than the dowry. But since Xiao Jue didn't care either, the money issue really didn't need to be taken care of.
"I know you are well-informed," He Yunsheng comforted her patiently, "but if other women in Shuojing get married, if they don't have a dowry, they will be cold-hearted and gossip at her husband's house. You..."
"But after the other women in Shuojing get married, they have to rely on their husbands to support them." He Yan said, "I have a salary."
"You are now being punished..."
"I have a salary."
"Our family background is not high..."
"I have a salary."
He Yunsheng lost his temper after being refuted by He Yan, and finally said: "Okay, you have a salary, so after all, you don't want to refuse the marriage date, right? You like General Feng Yun so much."
"Didn't you say it yourself?" He Yan tilted his head and looked at him, "If you are a woman, you only adore him."
He Yunsheng was choked to the point of coughing, and he stood up with a flick of his sleeves, "Forget it, I think you're so confused now that you won't listen to anything you say. Forget it, my father and I will think about the dowry. Way, take care of yourself!"
He Yunsheng left.
He Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
She lay on her back on the collapse, thinking of what Xiao Jue said in her mind. In the matter of getting married, it was not that she married another person without hope and expectation in her last life, and the ending was frustrating. But once again, when she heard it from Xiao Jue's mouth, she didn't have too much resistance and resentment in her heart. It seemed that she could still make her look forward to it.
However, it's not just that.
Xiao Jue is right, the situation in Shuojing is not stable now. The He family and the Xu family that she had to deal with had many constraints in doing things as the Marquis of Wu'an. On the other side of Xiao Jue, Xu Jingfu and the crown prince were also eyeing the tigers.
As Xiao Jue said, she also wanted to protect him.
…
Xiao Jue returned to the mansion.
He came back late, Xiao Jing and Bai Rongwei had already rested first.
In recent years, he has not spent many days in Shuojing. Even if he returns to Shuojing every year, he leaves early and returns late. His brothers and sisters have long been used to it, but the kitchen often prepares hot meals for him, and he has no food to eat when he comes home at night.
The snow in the yard was swept clean, he went into the house, put Yin Qiu on the table, and took off his outer clothes.
Fei Nu followed and walked in.
"You go to Xu's house tomorrow." Xiao Jue said.
Fei Nu was taken aback: "Master, the Xu family is not watching Luan Ying."
"I'm not asking you to investigate." Xiao Jue said, "Go to Xu's housekeeper named Fuwang, give him some money, and make a deal with him."
Fei Nu was stunned and nodded in response.
Xiao Jue gave him a few words in a low voice. Fei Nu's face showed a look of surprise. Although he didn't understand why Xiao Jue did this, he didn't say anything. After answering, he exited the room.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes fell on the Yin Qiu sword hanging on the wall.
He Yan's identity is destined that her revenge can only be cautious and not hearty. But even if the He family and many family members were allowed to live on earth for one more day, it would make people unhappy.
For some things He Yan was inconvenient to do, he could do it without any scruples. He didn't care about some methods that He Yan didn't want to use that were not fair enough.
Xiao Jue stood up, walked to Yin Qiujian, reached out and stroked the scabbard, the scabbard was as cold as snow, and the young man lowered his head thoughtfully.
The most valuable thing for a warrior in the battlefield is nothing more than the warhorse under him and the sword in his hand.
Losing a sword is like a wild beast without its fangs and fangs. This fool's past life was actually a process of constant loss, so much so that until now, he really wanted to get back everything that belonged to her for her.
even more.
