Chapter 07: The hustle and bustle is all good
Shaw House
"Steward Chu, is Master Hou here?"
Jiang Sheng was led into the mansion by Xiao Yan's henchman, Chu Duhan, and he was terrified at every step. He came to visit this Xiao Mansion almost every three or five days, and he was familiar with the way like his own home, but today he felt that it was particularly cold here.
"Lord Jiang, what kind of wind blew you here this morning?"
"Steward Chu, you're joking! The contemptible man came today for the sake of the son! ”
"Childe? What provoked my son-in-law? ”
"Steward Chu, take me to see Hou Ye quickly, this matter can only be solved if Hou Ye comes forward!"
Jiang Sheng sold Guanzi, only saying that there was something important to find Xiao Yan, but he refused to disclose what it was.
Chu Duan's cold fire is big, this Jiang Sheng is not good every time he comes, he wanted to find out, but he didn't even ask, he tickled his heart, and he wanted to tear Jiang Sheng's mouth immediately. Although he hated Jiang Sheng, it was a matter of son, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and took Jiang Sheng to Xiao Yan's study quickly. After a while, Chu Duhan's pestle called softly outside the door.
"Master, Jingzhao Mansion Yin Jiang Sheng asks to see you!"
Chu Duhan waited for a quarter of an hour and saw that Xiao Yan did not squeak. Sir, not in the study? He slowly pushed the door open and cautiously paced inside.
At first glance, Xiao Yan's study is a little empty and deep, and the gloomy and cold is coming. But the antiques, poems and paintings, and all kinds of books that can be seen everywhere are placed in their respective places in a neat and orderly manner.
The one-foot-square table is covered with rice paper, the ink on it has not dried, the font is thick into the wood, sharp and elegant, and a few words can be seen that the ink maker loves calligraphy and meticulous pursuit of spirit.
On the ground below the right side of the desk, there is a fox fur cushion, and on a low table vertically, there is a piano made of silk and paulownia wood, which is polished and polished. This piano should be some years old, and if you don't identify it carefully, you can't see it. Plucking it a few times, the sound of the piano is mellow and melodious, and the aftertaste is endless.
Chu Duhan squeezed his eyes, looking for Xiao Yan's figure through the dim light. At this moment, Xiao Yan was lying lazily in the rocking chair, squinting his eyes and savoring the book, not paying attention to when Chu Duhan came in.
"Master, Jiang Sheng asks to see you!"
Jiang Sheng? What's the matter with him?
Xiao Yan glanced outside the door, and Jiang Sheng stood there with a panicked expression. What did Jiang Shenglai do? Xiao Yan was disdainful, then threw the book in his hand on the table, took a sip of tea, and said with phoenix eyes narrowing slightly: "Let him in!" ”
Chu Duhan led the order and hurriedly took Jiang Sheng into Xiao Yan's study, "Master, someone brought it!" ”
"You go down first!"
Chu Duhan withdrew, and Xiao Yan was still half-lying in the chair, his eyes slightly closed, like a cunning fox, staring at Jiang Sheng.
"Lord Jiang, what kind of evil wind blew you here today?"
Jiang Sheng was stunned, this old fox is really not easy to deal with, he hid the panic in his heart, and methodically relayed to Xiao Yan what happened in the Jingzhao Mansion yesterday word for word.
"What? Ling Feng was injured by someone? Stupid pig, why didn't you report last night? Who did it? ”
Xiao Yan's face was cold, he picked up the tea cup in his hand and slammed it to the ground, and suddenly, the hot tea, scattered fragments splashed everywhere, and some of them splashed on Jiang Sheng's body. He crawled on the ground with a rolling belt, and his previous cover-up was in vain, and he trembled and moved to Xiao Yan's feet, "Go down...... Official, it's not ...... yet Ascertain! Yesterday...... It's getting late, and I'm afraid of disturbing the rest of the adults, so I didn't dare to come! ”
"What a guts! How is Childe? ”
If the situation is severe, according to Jiang Sheng's temperament, it is estimated that the Xiao Mansion will jump last night. Xiao Lingfeng entered Beijing for a few days and did not return all night, Xiao Yan knew that he was stubborn by nature, so he simply went with him.
"Master Hou! Childe Langzhong has seen ......"
"Then Ben Hou is not a backup gift for you?!"
"It's a small blessing to share the worries of the Hou Ye!"
"Oh? You said...... It was the people around Zhao Xun who escorted Ling Feng? "What kind of calculation is this Zhaoxun? Didn't he know that Xiao Lingfeng was Ben Hou's son? Or did he deliberately act like this? Or is he going to take the Xiao family under the knife? Xiao Yan was thinking about what Jiang Sheng said just now, how much credibility there was.
Jiang Sheng looked up cautiously, and Xiao Yan seemed to be guessing whether his words were credible. He thought for a moment and replied, "Xiaguan...... Can't! It was personally sent by Xiao Shunzi, who was next to His Majesty. The lower officials did not dare to ...... If there is anything to hide, please be clear! ”
Jiang Sheng has some character, and it is indeed difficult to reach the hall of elegance, but his mind is still clear to himself. If he had a lie, or had thoughts that he shouldn't have, Xiao Yan immediately asked people to end his mother.
Xiao Yan thought about it and stood up, after all, Jiang Sheng still had a handle in his hand, and he didn't dare to churn, "Jiang Sheng, Ben Hou will take a look at you!" If not, Hugh blames Ben Hou for being welcome! ”
Jiang Sheng looked at the dishes, and said with a slight owe: "Master Hou, please!" ”
Xiao Yan took a group of entourage, set off from Xiao Mansion and rushed to Jingzhao Yamen, and this battle was not lost to Zhaoxun at all. Jiang Sheng also farted, followed behind Xiao Yan, and did his work for him.
Xiao Yan searched for a long time, but didn't see Xiao Lingfeng, and said slightly angrily: "Jiang Sheng, you won't really send Ling Feng to the dungeon, right?" ”
Jiang Sheng heard Xiao Yan call him by his name, this old fox, it seems that in the future, if you want to catch Xiao Yan's handle, you have to start with Xiao Lingfeng.
Jiang Sheng quietly glanced at Xiao Yan, and deliberately delayed: "Master Hou, please come with me!" While speaking, Jiang Sheng led the way, passing through the dense small bamboo forest in the backyard, and came to a little people who came and the decoration was quite elegant.
Xiao Yan glanced at it casually, this small pavilion is quite hidden, the deeper you go, the more you go, the more caves you have. Precious calligraphy and paintings in the attic, strange treasures can be seen everywhere, and there are even some rare things, and Xiao Mansion has never had them. How did he Jiang Sheng get this? Xiao Yan frowned, he often came to Jingzhao Mansion, why didn't he notice that there was such a good place? It seems that in the past few years, he has been deceived by Jiang Sheng's honest appearance.
Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, his clenched fist tightened and loosened, and he said leisurely: "Lord Jiang, this Accord is really a good place to hide the dragon and crouching tiger?" ”
Jiang Sheng knew that what Xiao Yan, the old fox, was thinking, it was nothing more than the idea of fighting his own treasure. Jiang Sheng said to his liking: "What does Master Hou like, when you leave later, please take it as you like!" After speaking, Jiang Sheng suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, who is Xiao Yan? Even if he doesn't give him his beloved things at the moment, it is estimated that he will have a way to get it.
Xiao Yan half-pushed, "Since Master Jiang has spoken, Ben Hou is not welcome, take Ben Hou to see Ling Feng!" ”
The temptation of treasures is too great for a dignified military marquis to withstand it, let alone others? Jiang Sheng rolled up his sleeves, raised his hand and pointed to a big bed next to the window and said, "Master Hou, the son is there!" ”
Xiao Yan glanced at the person lying on the bed, is this still his son? A black and purple blood mark on his neck was clearly visible, shaking him so much that he couldn't open his eyes. Who is so bold as to dare to spread wild on Tai Sui's head? If I find out, it will definitely make him die a bad death.
Xiao Yan's mask was frosty, and the sky above the small pavilion was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the air pressure was lowered, making people breathless.
Jiang Sheng only felt that Sensen's cold air was soaring, which made his heart suddenly, and every time he negotiated with Xiao Yan, he felt that he had lived a few years less. His forehead was sweaty, and he raised his hand slightly to wipe the sweat from the corners of his forehead, and his teeth rattled: "Master Hou...... Son...... When it was delivered, it was already ...... That's it! Xiaguan ...... Please...... The doctor has seen it and said that it is a skin injury, and it will be fine in a few days! ”
Xiao Yan's face was so dark that he shouted loudly: "Come on, hit Jiang Sheng's 20th board." Immediately entered the palace to invite the imperial physician Jian Yuheng, and quickly helped the son into the carriage. ”
Xiao Yan gave an order, and several minions carried Jiang Sheng and executed him in public. Jiang Sheng grabbed Xiao Yan's leg and howled, "Hou...... Lord, spare your life! Little confession! ”
"Wrongdoing? Hit hard! ”
Jiang Sheng lay on the ground like a dog, twenty boards! Xiao Yan, you are poisonous enough! We'll see!
Xiao Yan looked down at Jiang Sheng condescendingly, and stepped on Jiang Sheng's ass fiercely, "Next time it's not a matter of a few boards?!" Let's go home! ”
Jiang Sheng's legs and feet were sore, his buttocks almost bloomed, and he barely held his waist to send Xiao Yan and his party out of the mansion. From entering Jingzhao Mansion to leaving Jingzhao Mansion, Xiao Yan's face has been ugly and tense. The minions knew that he was angry, and they were all self-aware, and cautiously carried him into the carriage.
Xiao Yan, who had already entered the sedan chair, suddenly paused, walked in front of Jiang Sheng with an arrow, pointed at the tip of his nose and scolded: "You wolf day, this marquis orders you to find out this matter within two days, otherwise you will come to see you, and don't try to hold your treasure!" ”
Jewelry? Jiang Sheng suddenly realized that Xiao Yan was blaming himself for not fulfilling the promise he had just made. He gave a look to a minion beside him, and the servant turned around and went in, and after a while, he took out the treasure that Xiao Yan had taken a look at and handed it to Jiang Sheng.
It was a rare night pearl of the Western Regions, which glowed blue and purple at night. Jiang Sheng has gone through twists and turns, and finally got it from the merchants of the Western Regions, just arrived in his arms, he has not covered the heat, but now he has to give it to others. Jiang Sheng was not convinced, he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and couldn't help but touch it a few more times.
"What? Lord Jiang is unwilling? ”
Xiao Yan saw that Jiang Sheng was reluctant and deliberately choked him with words. To Jiang Sheng's surprise, Xiao Yan snatched the pearl from his hand and hid it in his cuffs without realizing it. It was quick and perfect, and it was the best at grabbing things.
Jiang Sheng secretly glanced at Xiao Yan, this old thing, his son was injured like this, and he actually had the heart to ponder the treasure bead. scolded and scolded, but Jiang Sheng's salute was still done, "Master Hou, you go slowly!" ”
Xiao Yan swaggered into the carriage, and did not forget to glance back at Jiang Sheng, dead thing, one day all your treasures will be mine. Jiang Sheng was stunned by that look, and he still bowed his head and bowed his waist in a regular manner, watching Xiao Yan and his party leave.
The officials and the university all crushed people to death, and they didn't know this kind of military marquis. How many people do you have to crush before you give up? This mess is finally thrown out! Even if the emperor is looking for trouble, he shouldn't be able to find him-Jiang Sheng's head.
