MTL - Kunning-Chapter 138 Master of the Qin Hall

Jiang Xuening went back to her room, washed and slept.

I thought that after doing such a big event, she must toss and turn at night thinking about it and having trouble falling asleep. Who would have thought that she drank a lot of wine at the banquet. Huadiao is not very strong, but the stamina after drinking too much is not small. Sticking to the pillow, he thought about Zhang Zhe for a while, then fell into a deep sleep.

Just didn't sleep very well.

Had a strange dream all night.

But when I woke up in the morning and opened my eyes, I forgot all about it.

On the table is still the small seal of the sapphire she left yesterday.

The seal is still white when you buy it, and you have to carve any characters you want.

It doesn't take much time to carve a face like this, but it takes a lot of brains to figure out how to carve it.

Jiang Xuening glanced at it and didn't move it for the time being, but just opened the window and looked out: "The snow has stopped."

No wonder I wake up feeling a bit cold in the morning.

She stretched her waist, yawned a few times, and after a while, she saw Xiaobao walking on the corridor outside the window, wearing thick clothes, and said to her: "Second Miss, the news that I just came here is that it happened after yesterday. After the snow stopped in the middle of the night, the collapsed mountain road was cleared for most of the night, and the road has been cleared this morning. I am afraid that the sun will come out at noon this day. After discussing with Mr. Ding, Duke Ding said that he would take advantage of this time to go. I’m afraid that something will go wrong after the snow melts in a few days. So I’m here to let you know, if there’s anything else, I’d better pack it up in advance and leave at noon.”

The road between Tongzhou and the capital is not far away, so if you go earlier, if you ride a horse or a car, you can go there at noon and you can arrive almost at night.

Jiang Xuening nodded in agreement.

Just seeing Xiaobao turn around and leave again, he couldn't help saying "Hey", stopped him, and asked, "By the way, where is Mr. Zhang?"

Xiaobao thought she was asking Zhang Zhe if he was leaving too, so he said, "Master Zhang already knew the news, so naturally he will go with everyone, but the soldiers who came with him may have to wait for the snow to melt before leaving, after all, there are not so many of them." horses."

Jiang Xuening was speechless: "I was asking where he is now."

Only then did Xiaobao come to his senses, and after thinking about it, he seemed not quite sure, he hesitated and said: "I just saw it, because there are still a group of people who are going to stay in Tongzhou, it seems that Duke Ding has dragged Mr. Tell me something, maybe it's at the government office right now."

"oh…"

That's not there anymore.

I don't know if he woke up this morning and saw what he left last night.

Thinking about it, Zhang Zhe was too busy to get away now, and Jiang Xuening didn't want to bother him, so he could only wait to find a suitable time to speak.

She packed her things by herself.

The rest of the people in the Shangqing Temple were also busy, preparing the carriage for the carriage, packing the luggage for the luggage.

At noon, I ate some food at will, and it was just in time to set off.

Naturally, all officials big and small from Tongzhou City came and lined up at the door to see them off. Some complimented Xie Wei, while some congratulated Duke Ding Xiao Yuan on finding his son who had been missing for many years.

Xiao Yuan stood in front of the people, smiling somewhat forcedly.

Xie Wei looked sideways without a word, and took his gloomy expression into his eyes, and when everyone was about to board the carriage, he suddenly said: "Master Guo, it is better to walk in Xie Wei's carriage than if it is not the son's carriage." A certain one in front. Although his identity has yet to be confirmed, but aside from that level, he is also a member of the Tianjiao who will be interrogated after returning to Beijing. With such a big commotion in Tongzhou, it is inevitable that the Tianjiao side does not want to kill people. I am surrounded by swords and martial arts Although superficial, he still knows some swords, so if something goes wrong, he can deal with it in time."

The carriage was divided into several groups.

Duke Ding Xiao Yuan is at the front.

Jiang Xuening was accidentally involved in the encirclement and suppression of the Tianjiao. The innocent girl's family will inevitably suffer a bad reputation if this kind of incident spreads out. Therefore, Jingzhong has always claimed that she is sick at home, saying that she is recuperating at home. out. Now that we are leaving from Tongzhou, naturally we can't make a big fuss.

Her car is attached to the end.

Those with a special status like Xiao Dingfei were regarded as half criminals, and they were also ranked behind.

Dingguo Gong Xiao Yuan didn't expect Xie Wei to have such a proposal, his eyelids twitched, wondering: "Isn't it necessary? The Tianjiao rebels have killed all of them in this siege, even if the news spreads, It can't be transmitted that fast, and the journey is not too long, so there shouldn't be any accidents."

"Why not?"

Xie Wei reminded with a smile: "My lord forgot, I have checked the list of prisoners who escaped from the Heavenly Prison, and most of them were indeed executed together with the Heavenly Sect Rebel Party, but some of them escaped long ago. Among them There is also a vicious Meng Yang, who was still there during the siege, but after the siege, the body was counted and he disappeared. I am afraid that he pretended to be dead and slipped away. If this person leaks the news, I am afraid it may not be safe."

Meng Yang actually ran away?

Jiang Xuening couldn't help being surprised.

Looking back, although this Yishi Meng didn't agree to her request that day, he also helped Zhang cover up when he quarreled with the Tianjiao people. In this way, although this person ran away, she was not filled with righteous indignation because a vicious gangster ran away.

On the contrary, Xiao Yuan was taken aback by Xie Wei's words, and immediately there was no room for him to refuse, and he said as if he came to his senses: "But I was confused and almost forgot. Move him to the front, just to prevent people from gossiping..."

This means that he seems to be impartial and not open the door just because the other party is his son.

Everyone understood when they heard it.

Xiao Yuan bowed his hands to Xie Wei: "Since Mr. Xie made it clear, it was because I didn't think carefully, so let his car drive ahead."

In this way, the positions of everyone's cars were adjusted.

Probably because they have been together for a long time and are much more familiar than in the previous life. When Jiang Xuening looked at Xie Wei, he always felt that the perfect smile on his face that outsiders looked at was very fake and fake.

It even made her feel that there was a little sarcasm hidden in it.

She couldn't help feeling godly for a moment.

Probably because the staring gaze became a bit more obvious, Xie Wei noticed it, and turned his head to her, with a deep silence in his pupils.

Jiang Xuening was startled, and quickly smiled.

Xie Wei didn't respond to her, looked at her for a moment, then looked away, turned around and bent down to board the car.

The car curtain was lowered, and it was separated from the crowd.

Zhang covered a little behind.

He seemed to be preoccupied with something, he was absent-minded when the people in front were talking, and at this moment he just boarded his own car and didn't look elsewhere.

Jiang Xuening saw it, but naturally it was not easy to say hello in front of so many people.

Seeing him like this, I thought—

Did the things I left last night frighten him, or embarrass him?

So I felt a little nervous in my heart, and a little bit more secretly happy.

Xiao Dingfei rubbed his head with the handle of the incense fan in his hand, and when he looked at his carriage, a strange light flashed in his eyes, but he smiled flawlessly, and said: "It's not easy for me to survive. , how could someone kill him so easily?"

As soon as the fan was put away, she only said to Jiang Xuening: "When we get to the capital, I will remember what you said!"

Jiang Xuening looked at him.

He jumped into the car gracefully and said, "Let's go!"

Jiang Xuening thought for a while, and then remembered that she said last night that she would cover him when she arrived in the capital, so she also smiled, and instead of looking at other people, she helped Xiaobao's hand and got into the car.

The burden is only a small one.

Inside were two pieces of clothes, a stack of unspent banknotes, her square seal and a set of carving knives.

I was bored on the road, so I just used it for engraving.

This is also one of the "hobbies" that Jiang Xuening learned from Shen Jie when she was idle and bored in her previous life. It's just that the car was fine when driving in the city, and it didn't wobble. Zhu Wen Xiaodao trembled a little.

What could have been engraved in more than half an hour was suddenly picked up all the way.

Finally, I turned out the ink pad and dipped it in the lid to see the effect, but it didn't look very good.

"It's really embarrassing. If you were in the capital, you would find some rare treasures and give them away as New Year's repairs. Why would you need such trouble?" Jiang Xuening looked at the imprint on the paper, curled her lips, and muttered, I couldn't help comforting myself again, "It's better to pay more attention to affection than etiquette, forget it."

Just at this time, they had already walked halfway, Duke Ding Xiao Yuan suggested that everyone stop for a rest.

A fast horse came up from the front official road at this time.

Everyone was vigilant for a while, and then they heard the man on the horse waving his hands and shouting at them: "The letter from Beijing and the latest residence report are ordered to be delivered to Mr. Xie!"

It turned out to be a letter delivery.

Xie Wei didn't go down in person, only Jianshu picked up the letter and returned to the car to present it.

After a while, he came out again, walked all the way to Jiang Xuening's car, bent over and said: "Second girl, sir, there is a letter from Jingzhong, please go over and talk."

Jiang Xuening was a little surprised.

She was also thinking about when to give Xie Wei the book collection seal, but she didn't expect Xie Wei to invite her first, so she said: "Wait a while."

Hastily wiped off the ink pad that was stained with ink pad, put it into a small ink pouch, put it in the sleeve, and then got out of the car.

Jianshu took her to Xie Wei's car.

Jiang Xuening saluted towards the car curtain: "Students pay their respects to Mr. Xie, what is Mr. Xie's order?"

Xie Wei's calm voice came from inside, and he only said, "Come in."

Jiang Xuening hesitated for a moment, but still raised the corner of her skirt and boarded the carriage.

Jianshu didn't dare to help her, but only opened the curtain for her.

Jiang Xuening bent in, and saw Xie Wei sitting inside, with a small square table in front of him, and a thick stack of letters scattered on it, some of which had been torn apart, while others had not been moved.

The carriage was Xie Wei's own, and the inside was covered with soft velvet blankets, and there was a hand stove placed casually beside the table. The curtains hanging from the windows on both sides were compacted and impermeable.

Only behind him he made a window pane and pasted it with window paper, so that a bright light came in.

It happened to envelop him and illuminate the plan in front of him.

Jiang Xuening hesitated at first sight.

Xie Wei lowered his eyebrows and was looking at a letter from Beijing, and pointed to his left hand lightly: "Sit."

Jiang Xuening thanked her, and sat down properly.

Xie Wei handed over the letter and said, "Look at the letter from Master Jiang."

Jiang Boyou?

Jiang Xuening took the letter over and read it carefully, only to find that the letter was not written by Jiang Boyou to herself, but to Xie Wei.

In the letter, he thanked Xie Wei for his thorough planning for this matter, and said that the arrangements in the mansion were very proper, but no news was leaked, and he only hoped that Xie Wei would take care of him on the way.

The other said, "This is a big matter, and I didn't hide it from Meng Shi after all."

The Meng family was his first wife and Jiang Xuening's biological mother. She had some suspicions because of the old affairs, and after knowing that Jiang Xuening had been involved in these matters, she was furious and even almost fell ill. Recently, news has spread that His Royal Highness Shen Jie, the Prince of Linzi, has chosen a concubine. The Ministry of Rites has ordered the drafting of candidates, and the name of Jiang Xuening's sister, Jiang Xuehui, has already been selected. If there is a scandal in the family at this time, the reputation of the girl in the family will be ruined, and this good thing will also be ruined. Meng Shi is afraid that she will take her anger on Ning girl.

Therefore, I have the audacity to thank Wei and persuade Jiang Xuening a little bit.

When you get home, don't quarrel with your mother, keep your head down and hold back a bit, lest there will be a disturbance and the whole house will not be peaceful.

It is never easy to talk about things in the inner house to outsiders.

Jiang Boyou talked about it in his letter to Xie Wei, so it can be seen that he has great trust in him, the year-end friend. Of course, there is a layer of Xie Wei in the middle because of Mr. Jiang Xuening. He feels that Jiang Xuening has learned a lot after entering the palace as a companion. It should be Xie Wei's credit.

In the letter, she seemed to be thinking of Jiang Xuening.

However, after she finished reading it slowly, she felt that the original warmth in her heart was gone, like the snowy field outside, icy cold.

Xie Wei looked at her expression: "Would you like to persuade you a few words?"

Jiang Xuening smiled: "How can I persuade you, sir?"

Xie Wei thought about it, and said: "Parents' love is hard to get. If you don't want to give up, you don't have to fight **** for tat. Sometimes you can get what you want by taking a step back."

Take a step back, the world is wide.

Jiang Xuening rolled her eyes and didn't answer, but just put down the two pages of letter paper.

Xie Wei's Emei is placed in the piano case, leaning against the corner.

She didn't expect to see it, so she remembered the past.

This feeling and this scene are somewhat similar to when they met Xie Wei at the beginning of the year.

It's just that at that time there was no such a large and comfortably furnished carriage, it was just such a simple and simple one, with a few noisy servants behind; The "distant relative" who was holding Qin had a pretty face, but she looked short-lived and sickly; at that time, she was certainly not the Jiang Xuening she is now, she was the only one who saw Wanniang die not long ago, and she was full of heart. The little girl who didn't dare to go to the capital to meet her biological parents because of the fear of humanity, was born in the countryside, and erected all the spikes on her body to hide those hasty and embarrassing inferiority...

Now he is sitting in the carriage with Xie Wei again.

It is still the road to the capital.

Sometimes, Jiang Xuening felt that her life was like a joke.

She actually laughed thinking about it.

He only raised his eyes to look at Xie Wei, and saw that the other party was also staring at him, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "Sir, are you done persuading me?"

Xie Wei saw that she didn't seem to want to talk to others now, so he looked away, so as not to offend him too much, he just picked up the letter on the table, folded it back into the envelope along the original crease, and said "hmm" He said in a loud voice, "It's over."

Jiang Xuening said quickly, "The student is leaving."

Xie Wei didn't stop her.

Jiang Xuening made a gesture to stand up, but when she was about to lift the curtain to go out, she remembered the things in her sleeves, so she stopped again, took out the seal bag with the seal, put it on the table with both hands, and said: "Last night When I was passing by, I heard Mr. Wen take a break, so I didn’t dare to disturb you. I don’t have any belongings, but I only had time to engrave a book collection seal, to show the student’s heart, and to thank Mr. for his kindness in solving doubts. It’s just that it’s a bit clumsy, so it’s hard to avoid laughing and being generous.”

Xie Wei was taken aback.

It's just that Jiang Xuening didn't appear to be in a very high mood. After speaking, she nodded again and retreated from the car.

The seal was on a stack of letters.

It doesn't look particularly fancy from the outside.

Xie Wei picked it up and unwrapped it, inside there was indeed a small square seal that was two and a half inches long and only a few inches wide. Turning it over, it was still stained with some red ink pad that was not wiped clean in a hurry. It looks new.

Suddenly there was a panicked cold shout from outside: "Be careful, there are people in the forest!"

It was the voice of Jianshu.

Xie Wei raised his eyes and took a look through the gap in the car curtain, and saw a few black figures in heavy clothes rushing towards the place where Xiao Dingfei was, and in an instant, there were sounds of swords and swords clashing outside the car.

He didn't even bother to look.

Looking back, he only squeezed this small seal, and put it on the palm of his left hand, and the ink paste on the bottom of the seal left a shallow red mark on the clean palm.

Master of the Qin Hall.

Xie Wei stared at the words in the palm of his hand for a moment, then smiled abruptly, and said to himself in a low voice, "It's a bit ugly..."
