With the sound of wheels and axles, the carriage passed silently through the streets. Sometimes voices and lights came from outside, sometimes the lanes were dark, and the surroundings turned into silence. Xi Junyu sat on the carriage, occasionally frowning and looking at the seat opposite.
Enter the Silent Geng Guard.
"At this time...what are you going to do?"
He had asked similar questions several times, but the answers were almost the same every time.
"Shopkeeper Xi will know when the time comes."
Originally, he was still thinking about how Su Tan'er could turn defeat into victory this night, but gradually he felt that this might not be the case. The Huangshang incident had already been exposed four months ago, and everything was closely linked.
As of now, in tonight's clan meeting, it is a foregone conclusion that the second and third bedrooms will rage against Su Tan'er. This matter cannot be resolved. From now on, Su Tan'er will be removed from power. The so-called future is all in vain. What else can be done at this time.
He hated this kind of situation where he couldn't clearly see the situation. If Su Tan'er and the others were students who came out of his hands, but in this situation, he was completely unpredictable. However, as for the extent to which he was trusted, he still had no idea how much he was trusted.
She is still confident, let's see what she plans to do...
He was in the carriage, calculating the position it would reach at this time, and occasionally looking at the features outside through the curtain. The vehicle seemed to be heading out of the city, and there was something strange about this vehicle. It was not the carriage of the Su family. Along the way
The carriage circled a few times, perhaps because he was worried about being followed. Xi Junyu became increasingly strange. This time, he knew exactly who the enemy the Su family faced and what was going on.
Need such a response?
The carriage left Jiangning City and finally stopped in front of a yard outside the city. Xi Junyu looked at the surrounding environment. It was relatively quiet here, but not far away was a small place that was quite busy on weekdays and relatively mixed with dragons and snakes.
It's called Shibugang. There are several shops and fish stalls. People from nearby villages come here to buy things, and occasionally there are fights to kill people and grab territory.
Xi Junyu walked into the courtyard gate.
The next moment, he stood there, some things were hard to believe, but they really came to his mind, and he probably understood something.
A sharp knife was pressed against his waist, and figures began to appear near the door.
"Brother Geng, what on earth... happened?"
"Go in first, Shopkeeper Xi. Let's wait here first. Someone will come and tell you what you want to know. Then, if I make a mistake, I will apologize to you."
*****************
Yuexiang Tower, the sound of the piano is clear and the singing is soft. Luo Miaomiao plays the strings and sings leisurely under the gaze of everyone. Xue Yan, Xue Jin and others are also singing along, intoxicated. After finishing the song, he smiles
Praise with a glass of wine.
They were here today waiting for the results from the Su family, and they had been waiting for a long time. During this period, they drank and played, and with Luo Miaomiao as their company, they were not bored. After a while, Xue Jin looked in the direction of the Su family: "Let's talk about it.
, it’s almost time for the Su family to get results now.”
"It's a pity that I couldn't go to the Su family to see it with my own eyes. It must be very exciting to come to the three rooms of the Su family and secretly scheming." Someone on the side agreed with a smile.
"We have Miaomiao here today, and we are just waiting for the result. You actually want to see those intrigues, boiling cranes and burning harps, which is unbearable. Where did you send Miss Miaomiao? You are punished with alcohol!"
Everyone was laughing and laughing, but they couldn't help but sigh that the situation in the Su family was really not united. They were glad that the Xue family did not have such a thing like several houses competing for property. While they were laughing and joking, someone else opened the curtain and came in. This person was Lu
A member of the family had arrived at the beginning and had just gone out to deal with some things. At this time, he returned.
What a pity it would be to miss Miss Miaomiao's performance..."
The young man surnamed Lu also smiled and apologized a few times. After sitting down, he smiled and said: "I just walked around outside and heard some very lively things. Oh, by the way, over at the Su family, what happened?
Have you come out yet?"
"It hasn't been sent here yet. Brother Lu is worried? Haha, as I said earlier, the Lu family has put in a lot of effort this time. Just now, they were a little cold to Miss Miaomiao. This matter should be punished."
"Haha, Brother Xue is joking. Who doesn't know that Brother Xue's family is the most well-prepared for this matter. Once trouble starts to happen to the Su family, the business of Brother Xue's family will be the most advantageous. As for our Lu family, we are just picking up the pieces from behind.
You are just trying to fish in troubled waters. What Brother Xue said is definitely a frame-up. Miss Miaomiao, you can’t trust him. He must be concerned about the outcome of the Su family, so he is making fun of others."
Luo Miaomiao glanced at them: "You people, none of what you say is credible. Miaomiao really doesn't know who to believe. I'm afraid that I will be sold by you and I will count the money for you. And ah, you are still selling
If you don't offer a good price..." The woman laughed and said, "Then the Su family is really pitiful, having become your rival."
Several people laughed, Xue Yan shook his head and said: "If you don't talk about this, the Su family's affairs have already been settled. Why worry about it? Today's enjoyment is the most important, and the rest is incidental. But Brother Lu just said something
What’s the reason for the lively things?”
"Oh, there's a fierce commotion over there at Changyun Pavilion. I heard that Liu Qing and Di Shi are fighting against the heroes. Haha, there's going to be a fight between fists and feet."
Today there is a banquet held by Puyang Yi in Changyun Pavilion. Liu Qing, Di Cao Guan and others are all present. It can be regarded as a relatively important gathering in Jiangning City that day. Those poets and poets are together, so naturally Xue Yan and others cannot participate.
Even if Xue Jin and others had some literary skills, they just stopped writing limericks. At the previous banquet, everyone also talked about the poetry meeting over there. At this time, hearing that the situation was intense, Luo Miaomiao asked with concern
: "Is Sister Qilan okay?"
"Haha, of course nothing will happen. That's just what I said. With Pu Yangyi here, it's impossible to really fight. It's just that both sides are angry. But..." He paused and glanced at Xue Yan and Xue Jin.
, "The Su family Ning Yi was involved in this matter."
Xue Jin was stunned: "Impossible, how could Ning Yi be in Changyun Pavilion at this time?"
"It's not that people are here, haha, but someone came up with a new poem by Ning Yi in Changyun Pavilion. This thing is interesting to say, but Liu Qingdi..."
While this man was talking about the situation in Changyun Pavilion, from Liu Qingdi's dispute with others, to his overwhelming the Confucian scholars with his many poetry skills, to the subsequent rage of Kongshan layman, he also took out two pieces of rice paper from his arms.
, which contains some of the best poems written by everyone at this Changyun Pavilion gathering.
"...The last one is a new poem written by Ning Yi. It is said that he is now teaching at Yushan Academy at home. He wrote it casually when explaining poetry to a nineteen-year-old child a few days ago. It has not been publicized, but it has been
Su Chonghua saw it and later told Chen Lu and Chen Kongshan. The word was actually called Ding Fengbo. It was indeed a good word. I am afraid that Ning Yi's talent and reputation will be even better today... I just thought about Su now.
Family matters are actually a bit ironic..."
While joking, everyone took over the poems. It was a high-level competition in Changyun Pavilion today. Every poem was good, but when they looked at the last one, everyone's expressions were a little complicated. Luo Miaomiao took it.
After that, I read each song one by one, a little slowly, and my eyes were filled with excitement. But when I saw the last song, I still hesitated for a long time before reading out the words.
"Define the storm... Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves in the forest, why not whistling and walking slowly. The bamboo stick and mango shoes are easier than the horse, who is afraid? A misty rain is left for life... The cold spring breeze blows the drunkenness, it is slightly cold, and the mountain top is shining slantingly
Welcome. Looking back to the desolate place where I came from, returning...there is no wind, rain or sunshine...this word..."
Many people present had already read this song. After Luo Miaomiao finished reciting, she felt a little cold for a moment. Xue Yan looked aside and then laughed.
"Ding Fengbo, Ding Fengbo... Haha, there is really nothing to say about Ning Yi's talent in poetry. However, with his recent events, why should he write about Ding Fengbo? Could it be that he is depressed and wants to comfort himself?"
When he said this, the others also laughed in agreement: "No wonder I only showed it to a nine-year-old child. I am afraid that I feel too self-deceiving, so I can only write it to a nine-year-old child for comfort."
"I think it's not as good as the song "Drinking with Pei Di" that he wrote with Wu Chenghou out of grief and anger that night. At least that song won't make people laugh even if it's plagiarized, hahahaha..."
"We are all rough people, so we don't know how to tell whether this poem is good or bad, but Miss Miaomiao is far more knowledgeable than me. I wonder what Miss Miaomiao thinks of this poem?"
Luo Miaomiao looked at everyone's expressions, then looked at the poems in her hands, and laughed softly: "The lyrics are pretty good." At this time, she gave the poems a "good" evaluation, and everyone laughed even more happily. Luo Miaomiao
I casually read the words a few times before passing them on to others with a smile, just silently reciting them in my heart.
Then there was another conversation and laughter, repeatedly talking about the Su family's efforts two months ago and the final gorgeous failure. Ning Yi sadly wrote the song about drinking wine with Pei Di in front of the Wu family, and everything that happened after that.
.But the atmosphere has also changed unobservably. Sometimes someone talks about some of Liu Qingdi's masterpieces. He takes the manuscript paper to look at it, but inevitably his eyes stay on "Ding Feng Bo" for a moment.
, and immediately turned away.
This song "Ding Feng Bo" came out of nowhere, like a small thread, invisible in this space.
However, no one mentioned it, and it was not a big deal in the first place. As long as the results from the Su family came over, this small and seemingly non-existent issue would disappear. Xue Yan occasionally walked downstairs inadvertently.
Look, at a certain moment, I finally laughed.
"The results have arrived."
A servant ran up from downstairs, and everyone started laughing. The window where Xue Yan was at this time was right next to the door. He opened the door and walked out under the gaze of everyone. The servant also came up from downstairs.
Now, everyone can see Xue Yan’s waiting figure.
"Come, drink, drink." Xue Jin greeted everyone as if he didn't care much, and everyone responded with a smile, waiting for Xue Yan to come in and tell the news.
The Su family's affairs have been decided for a long time, and they need to report something. It's just a sentence or two. Even if there are some details, there is nothing to say. Everyone is waiting for Xue Yan to turn around and repeat the results to them with a smile, but the servant
Something mysterious kept talking in Xue Yan's ears, and they waited like this for a long time.
"What did you say……"
"How can it be……"
"Who are you talking about?"
After a long while, faint, thin sounds came in. It was not very clear, but some people sitting relatively close to the door still heard it.
They finally calmed down and exchanged puzzled looks with each other. They didn't know what happened or what was going on. However, it might be that something unexpected happened to the Xue family. For example, the Chen family, the Lu family and other participants were not too involved.
Worried, Xue Jin finally stood up, thought for a moment, and then walked toward the door.
He wanted to ask: "Brother, what happened?" However, the words did not come out. Xue Yan had already turned around. His expression was complicated and his mind seemed to be no longer here. He just glanced at his brother and walked in.
, looking at everyone in the room, they opened their mouths to say something, but nothing came out. Just like that, he returned to his seat under the gaze of everyone, shook his head, and felt that something was incomprehensible.
"Brother Xue, what's wrong?" the man from the Lu family asked.
"Ha." Xue Yan smiled, and after a moment, he whispered, "The results of the Su family are out."
"how?"
"How..." Xue Yan repeated, blinked, and after a moment, he pressed his forehead hard and closed his eyes tightly. The Xue family has the most arrangements for the Su family, and at this time,
Everyone realized to some extent that the result might not be as expected - or should be said to be very unsatisfactory. Xue Yan opened his eyes and swept the bowls and chopsticks in front of him with one hand. Then he saw two poetry manuscripts next to him.
He tapped it with two fingers, pulled out the lower one, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it. After a while, he read it in his mouth, as if he was reading it to everyone.
"Ha... don't listen to the sound of beating leaves in the forest... why not scream and walk slowly. The bamboo stick and mango shoes are easier than the horse, who is afraid... a raincoat and a lifetime..." At this time, he recited the entire poem "Ding Feng Bo"
Hearing it again, everyone had almost a completely different attitude. Then he looked at everyone again, "Looking back, I have always been in such a bleak place... If I say, we all guessed wrong, everyone was calculated, and calculated."
Clean, what would you say?"
No one answered.
"Four months..." Xue Yan looked out the window and murmured, "Oh, the Wu family is probably the worst schemer, and so are the incompetent second and third bedrooms of the Su family..."
"Brother Xue...specifically, what happened?"
"That's it." Xue Yan slapped the lyrics on the table, "I'm laughing. The result... is the best result for Su Tan'er... the internal and external troubles are all cleared up at once, and Nabu... Nabu actually...
..." His emotions seemed to be a little out of control, and he stretched out his hand to rub his forehead, "Now that I think about it...it's just...ten steps doesn't count..."
"...Ning Liheng."
This exclamation, and the name that came with it at the end, rang out in the hall, and everyone was stunned. But they still didn't know the whole thing. Xue Yan took a deep breath, finally raised his head, and smiled.
"I'm sorry, everyone, the four-month plan... no, the more than two-month plan is all a mess. It's a bit rude. Please forgive me. The results of the Su family have come out. I'll tell everyone and everyone will understand.
…”
Time goes back to a long time ago, at night, in the clan meeting hall of the Su Mansion.
A debate has finally come to an end...
****************
At five o'clock in the morning, the strong wind actually blew down the telephone pole. Fortunately, my mobile phone had electricity. After that, I ran back and forth n times to send out the chapter... It's sad...
