Xue Luoer burst into tears again. She thought she could understand what he meant by "humiliation". She thought she could understand that he was under a lot of pressure in marrying her. She understood that he was sensitive to some rumors, so she also understood why he
Will suddenly borrow the Mountain and River Cauldron by force.
All the uneasiness and anxiety I felt before turned into feeling sorry for him at this moment, and I felt that I had wronged him.
Once this person really likes someone, he gives up himself and thinks about the other person at all times, because he likes him!
Granny Xue also understood the meaning of his words. She looked at Xue Luo'er's reaction and smiled, without commenting.
She didn't stay here for a long time, and she couldn't help but think of it as repayment just because Chuanying said it was repayment. She had to confirm it, and also confirm whether what was returned was true or false.
However, before leaving, she secretly gave a secret order to the people here. Chuanying was not allowed to leave the Ice and Snow Pavilion without her permission.
…
A small boat floated in the lake. Niu Youdao was alone on the boat. He put out the food and wine in the food box and poured himself a cup, enjoying himself.
When the boat reached the middle of the lake, someone suddenly emerged from the water, got on the boat, sat across from the small square table, and picked up his chopsticks to taste the side dishes.
"I've heard that the wine and food at Maolu Villa is good, it's really good." The voice coming from the visitor was none other than Sha Tulai.
Niu Youdao poured wine for him, "Why do you need to come here in person?"
Sha Tathagata: "You must have heard about the Shanhe Ding. I was ordered to come out to verify the authenticity of the return. I just stopped by."
Niu Youdao: "How is the verification going?"
Sha Tulai: "I've confirmed that what Chuanying returned is true."
Niu Youdao said, his eyes flickering slightly. From this, it was confirmed that Wu Chang had used the Mountain and River Cauldron to confirm. In other words, Wu Chang had already been to the fifth realm. He couldn't help but smile slightly, "This is a bit
mean."
Sha Rulai tried to ask: "Do you know something?"
Niu Youdao: "It's nothing, Wu Chang is just doing something behind his back. Is this why you came here specifically to talk about it?"
Sha Tulai drank the glass and put down the empty glass, "I'm here to tell you that I have some clues about what you asked me to keep an eye on."
Niu Youdao held the pot again and poured wine for him, "What is it?" There were too many things he wanted the other party to pay attention to.
Sha Tathagata: "Zhuge Chi, the former general manager of Zhao Dynasty."
Niu Youdao put away the jug in his hand, then slowly tilted it again. When the wine was full, he slowly put the jug down and asked, "Have you found the whereabouts?"
Sha Tulai: "The specific whereabouts are not available yet, but it should be quite close. The Piaomiao Pavilion has made careful arrangements. It seems that it has followed the clues to a certain extent. It should be very close to the target. There is no warning yet, and the dense manpower is still there.
We are lurking and watching closely, and we can quickly close the net as soon as the target makes contact with the clues we are following!"
Niu Youdao: "Why does this matter seem a bit sudden to me? You didn't reveal anything to me before."
Sha Tulai: "I didn't dare to directly intervene in this matter before. I only found out after the scope of manpower used by Piaomiao Pavilion for this matter was expanded and they were used on my head."
Niu Youdao sighed, "I haven't found it after searching for so long. Logically speaking, there should be a proper hiding place. Why was it targeted? Isn't this Zhuge Chi a little too careless?"
Sha Rulai picked up her chopsticks and tasted a few mouthfuls of food, chewing in her mouth, "Continue to maintain contact with the outside world. Facing the huge power of Piaomiao Pavilion, it is inevitable that the trap will be exposed."
Niu Youdao: "He actually didn't cut off all contact with the outside world. It seems that Hai Wuji still hasn't given up. He still harbors illusions after Zhuge Chi's incident. This man's heart..." He was silent for a moment.
Sha Tulai noticed something unusual about him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Niu Youdao said slowly: "Hai Wuji is no longer the emperor of Zhao. Without the status of emperor, Hai Wuji is nothing."
Sha Tulai: "What do you want to say?"
Niu Youdao: "That Zhuge Chi is too loyal to Hai Wuji."
Sha Tulai: "I don't understand what you want to express."
Niu Youdao: "It's not worth my risk. I suddenly became more interested in the person in Piaomiao Pavilion behind Shao Pingbo. Who do you think this person could be?"
Sha Tulai became more and more confused as to what this fellow was talking about. He shook his head and said, "Who doesn't know, but if you can use Piaomiao Pavilion's manpower in Jin and Qi at any time, your background will not be too small."
"I think so too." Niu Youdao raised his glass and drank with him.
The surrounding lakes and mountains were beautiful, so the two of them gathered for a while and then left.
…
In the Shao Mansion in Jinjing, the concierge received a letter and delivered it to the steward Shao Sansheng.
Shao Sansheng, who was sitting behind the case handling miscellaneous items, opened the letter, looked at the contents of the letter, stood up in shock, and then left quickly.
In the garden, Shao Pingbo was playing the harp, and his uncle Huan'er was dancing in front of the harp table.
Seeing Shao Sansheng winking outside the pavilion, he knew something was urgent. Shao Pingbo hooked his fingers and "dang" the strings broke.
Naturally, the dance stopped. Taishu Huan'er quickly stepped forward, took his hand and looked at it, "Are your fingers okay?"
"It's okay." Shao Sansheng stood up and interrupted the fun between the two with a few words.
Seeing Shao Sansheng outside, Taishu Huan'er also recognized the situation and knew that men have men's affairs. Shao Pingbo said he had official business, so she avoided it first.
Shao Sansheng then entered, took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to him, and whispered: "A letter from Jia Wuqun."
Shao Pingbo's hand holding the letter was slightly stiff, and then he quickly opened the letter and looked at it. The content in the letter made his face darken.
Shao Sansheng had read it beforehand and naturally knew its contents.
In the letter, Jia Wuqun exposed the identity of Tan Yaoxian, Wu Xin, a disciple of the ghost doctor, and congratulated Shao Liuer and Wu Xin for rekindling their relationship in Qijing.
The other is to greatly praise Shao Pingbo for establishing the Imperial College, and praise Shao Pingbo for his long-term plans. In the future, the descendants of the Manchu ministers will definitely become Shao Pingbo's students, and so on.
Finally, he invited Shao Pingbo to go to the capital of the Song Dynasty to get together. He was willing to have wine and discuss the world with Shao Pingbo!
As for the reason for going, let Shao Pingbo find it on his own, saying that he was waiting for Shao Pingbo's arrival in Songjing.
After reading the letter, Shao Pingbo swished twice, tore the letter into pieces, gritted his teeth and said, "This is a serious problem for me!"
Shao Sansheng quickly squatted on the ground and carefully picked up the scraps of paper thrown on the ground, not daring to miss anything. Once one-sided content was seen by others, the consequences would be disastrous.
After getting up, he balled up the shredded paper and stuffed it into his sleeve, then destroyed it completely when he came back.
What he is worried about now is what is in front of him, "Eldest Young Master, this is clearly threatening the Eldest Young Master to go to the appointment. If you don't comply, once the eldest lady's affairs are made public, the eldest lady will not be able to defend herself, which will make the true feelings of King Ying Hao embarrassed, and how will the eldest lady be able to commit suicide?"
He is afraid that he will force the eldest lady to death. And once he exposes the affairs of the Imperial Academy, he will be killed by the court officials first!"
Shao Pingbo walked back and forth in the pavilion with a gloomy face, as if he was thinking about countermeasures quickly, and murmured angrily: "Niu Youdao died, and Jia Wuqun appeared again, what does it mean to have endless troubles? This is called troubles.
"I have no grievances against this beast. I haven't settled the accounts with him last time, but now he comes again. Why do you keep going against me?"
Shao Sansheng asked anxiously: "Eldest Master, what should I do now?"
Shao Pingbo suddenly stopped, his eyes flickered for a while, and he stretched out his hand and said: "Give me the letter!"
"Uh..." Shao Sansheng took out the broken letter from his sleeve and showed it to him.
Only then did he remember that he had torn it into pieces. Shao Pingbo waved it off and walked to the railing with his hands behind his back to look out. He looked thoughtful for a while, and finally made a decision. He said two words in a sonorous voice, "Keep the appointment!"
"Ah!" Shao Sansheng was shocked, "The eldest son, think twice, he wanted to kill the eldest son before, but he must have bad intentions this time, and he may trap the eldest son to death!"
Shao Pingbo shook his head slightly, "This is an extraordinary person. He should know that if I go to the appointment, how can I be killed so easily? If there is no guarantee, I will not go. He holds such a secret, but hides it. I think
Let’s see what he wants to do. Let’s cook wine and talk about the world… Cook wine and talk about the world…”
After pondering for a while, he suddenly turned back and said: "Reply to the letter, I have heard for a long time that Mr. Fang Changqu of the Song Dynasty is very knowledgeable. He wants to invite the Imperial Academy of the Jin Dynasty to be his teacher. I also ask Mr. Jia to help him!"
We sent a letter here, and a few days later, Jia Wuqun wrote back, willing to help!
After receiving the reply, Shao Pingbo immediately met with Tai Shuxiong and stated that he was going to the Song Dynasty to personally invite the learned scholar to teach at Taixue.
Tai Shuxiong felt it was unnecessary, and also mentioned the grievances between Shao Pingbo and Jia Wuqun, and felt that it was too dangerous to go.
Shao Pingbo said that only by attending the invitation in person could he show his sincerity, and showed Jia Wuqun's reply.
Tai Shuxiong was surprised that Jia Wuqun would actually help Shao Pingbo. He didn't know what the two men were fighting about, but he knew that this son-in-law was also a very good person and he would not suffer easily if he dared to go.
In the end, the Jin State sent an envoy to the Song State first, stating that Shao Pingbo was going to be an envoy to the Song State, and asked about the Song State's attitude.
After receiving a reply from the Song Dynasty court, Shao Pingbo's status as an envoy was determined. Shao Pingbo and his wife Taishu Huaner went on the mission together, accompanied by expert guards.
After arriving in the capital of the Song Dynasty, Shao Pingbo first paid a visit to the Emperor Wu Gongling of the Song Dynasty as an envoy, and talked about the affairs of the Jin and Song Dynasties.
The next day, he and his wife went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit him.
Zi Pingxiu naturally knew the purpose of this visit, and was naturally accompanied by Jia Wuqun.
Seeing Jia Wuqun again, Uncle Huan'er's expression was a little changeable. How could he easily forget the scene of being teased with his mother? He secretly gritted his teeth.
After the guests and hosts were seated, Jia Wuqun stood silently behind Zi Pingxiu with a slight smile on his face, and Yuan Cong was beside him.
Shao Pingbo kept talking to Zi Ping, but his eyes were fixed on Jia Wuqun from time to time, and finally he saw this hidden figure.
After the courtesy was over, Zi Pingxiu asked the guest to stay, and the Zi Mansion wanted to host a banquet.
Shao Pingbo was so kind that he couldn't refuse, so he readily agreed.
Zi Pingxiu left to make some preparations and ordered Jia Wuqun to accompany his guests.
Jia Wuqun then ordered someone to recruit a female family member to accompany his uncle Huan'er. The latter was somewhat reluctant, but Shao Pingbo asked her to go.
Afterwards, Jia Wuqun invited Shao Pingbo to hang out in the garden.
When they arrived at the garden, Shao Pingbo ordered his entourage to stop and wandered alone with Jia Wuqun and Yuan Cong.
When he stopped by a pool, Shao Pingbo stopped and said, "Mr. Jia, I'm here."
Jia Wuqun smiled and nodded, writing something on Yuan Cong's back. Yuan Cong spoke for him: "Master Shao is so courageous. He did not let Jia down!"
