People always think I'm a broken sleeve

Su Bian raised his eyes and looked towards Yueyao.

Yue Yao was wearing a pink skirt with ruffled leaves, and there was a slight smile in her eyes, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was extremely gentle.

Su Bian looked at Yueyao twice, and after confirming that the other party was not joking, he followed Yueyao into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Bizhu followed closely behind, afraid of being lost.

Behind him, the guards outside the door were puzzled to see Yueyao, who had always been estranged from others, suddenly getting close to an outsider.

The two guards looked at each other, even more inexplicable.

Stepping into the Prime Minister's mansion, he just raised his eyes and was stunned.

When he was in Xuanfu, when he raised his eyes, he could see the guards and servants everywhere.

Naturally, as a dignified military officer of the first grade, it is quite normal for Xuan Yue to have a lot of servants and guards in his mansion.

Not to mention Xuanyue, a high-rank minister, I am afraid that it is a fourth-rank courtier, and there are probably many guards in the mansion.

What I didn't expect was...

There was not a single guard in the Prime Minister's mansion.

Not only that, even maids are rare.

At a glance, plus Yueyao who was leading the way, there were only four servants that could be seen.

But in Xuanfu, if you just raise your eyes, you can see more than dozens of servants.

Bizhu, who was following behind, was inexplicably surprised to see the "depressed" scene in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Su Bian looked around calmly, and looked away indifferently.

No matter how the Xiangfu is, it has nothing to do with him, an outsider.

He just came to rent the house.

Speechless all the way.

After Yueyao brought Su Bian and Bizhu to the lobby, she beckoned a maid, and continued: "Sir, please sit here and wait, I will go to ask my lord for instructions. If you have

Whatever you order, just open your mouth. "

Su Bian gave a expressionless expression of grace, and said lightly, "Then I will trouble the girl."

Yue-Yao glanced at Su Bian whose expression had never changed from the beginning to the end with a slightly complicated look, bowed and stepped back slowly.

Su Bian sat quietly in the lobby without saying a word.

The complicated look in the other party's eyes was obvious and hardly concealed.That look is completely like looking at another person through Su Bian.

Because the other party's eyes were hardly concealed, Su Bian could see them very clearly.

If it wasn't for this, I'm afraid he wouldn't have caught up to stop him, and suddenly changed his words and said he wanted to ask his lord for instructions.

If it was an ordinary person, he would definitely open his mouth to ask questions.

But Su Bian had no such intention.

One is that Su Bian didn't have much curiosity.

Both, he just came to rent the house, and other things have nothing to do with him.

As for who that person was, he was not interested and had no intention of asking.

After sending Su Bian to the lobby, Yue-Yao came to Shihuafang where Long Jingying was.

Inside the Liuhuai Pavilion, Long Jingying's white clothes were like snow, cold and lonely, exuding a cold and alienated aura.

Yue-Yao stood still three meters away from the Liuhuai Pavilion, and said softly, "...My lord, there is a son who wants to rent the vacant house next door."

...no answer.

Long Jingying didn't respond at all, as if she had never heard it at all.

Yue-Yao seemed to have expected it, so she didn't show any astonished expression.She was silent for two seconds, then bowed her head and continued: "The young master who wants to rent a house... I want you to meet me."

As Yueyao's words fell, the person who was writing in the pavilion paused suddenly.

Yue-yao didn't speak any more.

Yue Yao and Long Jingying have been with each other the longest.

Since Long Jingying was just a teenager, she has been by her side.So she is very clear about Long Jingying's disposition and habits.

Long Jingying likes to be quiet, and has always been a loner. She has never had a deep friendship with others, and she doesn't like to deal with others.Therefore, anyone who came to the prime minister's mansion and wanted to see him was rejected.Whether it's in court

courtiers, or the current emperor.

If it wasn't for the first emperor, I'm afraid he would have resigned from the position of prime minister long ago, retreated to the mountains and forests, and ignored world affairs.

And because she knew this well, it was not a special reason, Yue Yao never dared to disturb Long Jingying rashly.It even made him come to meet some dubious people.

Yueyao knew Long Jingying's disposition well, and Long Jingying also knew Yueyao's disposition well.If it wasn't for special reasons, she would never dare to disturb him.

Long Jingying quietly stared at the faces in the painting.

The black ink was smeared on the paper, and the thin layer of drawing paper looked fragile and vulnerable.

After a long time, Long Jingying's thin lips parted slightly.

Long Jingying said: "Bring it here."

Yue-yao softly replied yes, and slowly backed away.

At this time, Xuanfu.

Wufu Building.

The actors on the stage babbled and sang, their voices were melodious, and their raised orchid fingers were extremely charming.

However, the mind of the only spectator in the audience is not here at all, and has drifted away.

To be more precise, it was not on stage from the beginning.

Xuan Yue's fingers tapped impatiently on the cold table beside him.

Xuan Yue looked at the stage without blinking, and asked without turning his head: "Wan Zhang Shi really bought all the houses in the capital?"

Wan Gaozhan, who was waiting behind Xuanyue, replied respectfully: "Master, the slave has indeed bought all the houses in the capital, and the land deed and the house deed have just been handed over to the slave."

By the accountant. "

Xuan Yue frowned upon hearing the sound, and couldn't help but click his tongue.

That being the case, why haven't you seen 'Zhuang Duxin' coming to Xuanfu?

...Could it be that the guy simply went to live in the inn?

After all, Wan Gaozhan seemed to think of something again.

Wan Gaozhan's voice paused slightly, and he continued: "However... there is still a house, which the servant failed to buy."

Without raising his eyes, Xuan Yue immediately guessed which house Wan Gaozhan was talking about, and he asked lightly, "The one in Qiantui's hands?"

Wan Gaozhan responded respectfully, "Exactly."

Xuan Yue snorted, and said: "The Qiantui gate does not leave the second door, does not ask about world affairs, is isolated from the world, and ordinary people can't see it at all. As for the house in his hand, there is no need to hang it up."

Heart. "

Wan Gaozhan bowed his head and replied, "What the master said is true."

Just as he was talking, a servant hurriedly walked towards Xuan Yue's direction.

Xuan Yue's eyes lit up, and he stood up from the chair.

'Zhuang Duxin' is that fellow finally willing to come?

The smile on the corner of Xuan Yue's mouth was about to rise, and then, the servant stood still in front of him, and then said: "Master, please see the prince."

The smile on the corner of Xuan Yue's mouth disappeared instantly.

Xuan Yue turned cold and said without hesitation: "No, drive away."

Xuan Yue said without hesitation, "No."

The servant responded, "Yes."

The servant retreated slowly, and then came to the gate of Xuanfu.

The servant looked at Jin Lin who was waiting patiently outside the door, and said quietly: "Master is sleeping now, Prince Lin may come back another day."

Jin Lin stared, "Last time it was another day, this time it's another day, how many times has it been changed?"

The servant remained silent, and his expression remained unchanged.

Jinlin looked at the servant in front of him, rolled his eyes, and said, "Otherwise, let me go in first, and I will wait in the lobby until your master wakes up.

? ”

The servants were completely indifferent, "Without the permission of the master, we servants are not allowed to let anyone into the mansion."

Jin Lin coughed, cleared his throat, and said, "Is this the so-called anyone? This king is the younger brother of the current emperor. How can those untouchables compare with this king? You first compare this king

Put it in, my lord..."

Before Jin Lin could say anything, the other party closed the door of the mansion without saying a word.

Jinlin: "..."

Jin Lin stood outside the gate of Xuanfu, speechless.

Gongsun Mao, who was standing behind Jin Lin, comforted him, "If Lord Lieutenant can be seen so easily, he wouldn't be Lord Lieutenant of the State."

Jin Lin was depressed, "It's not easy to see this, it's clear that you can't see it at all! He...he doesn't take this majestic prince in his eyes at all!"

Gongsun Mao snorted and couldn't help laughing: "Master Guowei doesn't even look down on the emperor, how can he put you in the eyes of the prince."

Jinlin was still depressed, and he said angrily: "This king... this king just wants to see him, and he doesn't do anything. Why doesn't he even let me step into the mansion? Is this king

What kind of pests are blocking his eyesight? "

Gongsun Mao comforted: "Your Majesty is not the only one who treats you like this, so please don't be angry, Prince. It just happens that there is nothing to do now, how about going to Xunfang Pavilion to listen to the little song?"

Jin Lin thought about it for a while, since there was nothing wrong with it anyway, so he agreed.

Before getting on the sedan chair, Jin Lin reluctantly turned his head to look at the closed gate of Xuanfu behind his eyes, and then looked away.

Xiangfu.

Not long in the lobby, Yue-Yao left and returned quickly.

Yueyao came to the lobby, smiled slightly at Su Bian and said, "My lord is here to invite you."

Su Bian looked up at her, stood up quietly, and walked over.Bizhu hurriedly followed behind, not daring to breathe, for fear that she might get into trouble.

There were very few servants in the Xiangfu, and even the guards couldn't see a single one, but somehow, Bizhu felt that the Xiangfu in front of her was much more eerie and terrifying than the Xuanfu.

Following closely behind Su Bian, Bizhu swallowed in fear.

Just like coming to Xiangfu before, on the way to Shihuafang where Long Jingying was, there were very few servants to be seen, and the guards couldn't even see their shadows.

If there is no accident, the two guards guarding the door of Xiangfu are probably the only two guards in this Xiangfu.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was quiet and deep, if it wasn't for Yueyao leading the way in front, and the few servants in the mansion, people might really think that this is an empty mansion where no one lives.

After following Yueyao through two other courtyards and a winding corridor, they finally came to Shihuafang where Long Jingying was.

Inside the Poetry Boat, there is a gentle breeze and the air is fresh and pleasant.

The surrounding area is full of flowers, and dense bamboo forests can be seen everywhere.

Not far away, stood a gazebo. Inside the gazebo, a slender and tall man in white clothes stood in it, his back was cold and lonely.

The opponent has a graceful figure and a natural momentum.Although it was far away, one could already predict how amazing the other party's appearance was.

Probably because he had no idea about his appearance, Su Bian looked up with a calm expression.

There was not much reaction on Su Bian's face, but Bizhu behind him couldn't help taking a low breath the moment she saw Long Jingying.

Bizhu has always stayed in the small town of Ningxiang, and she can only stay in the mansion to work on weekdays, and she doesn't see anyone at all.

The previous Yan Ruyu could even be said to be the best-looking person she had ever seen.But even after seeing Xuan Yue, the most beautiful person turned into Xuan Yue again.

But after seeing Long Jingying, Bi Zhu's vision was refreshed again.

However, Long Jingying's good looks are completely different from Xuan Yue's.

It can even be said to be the complete opposite.

Xuanyue is enchanting and exquisite, with a frown and a smile that captivate the soul.

And Long Jingying is the flower of Gaoling, she can only watch from a distance, but not close.

Bizhu was puzzled.

Are all the ministers in the capital so good-looking...

Naturally, she only dared to mutter this sentence in her heart, but did not dare to say it out.

Yue Yao brought Su Bian to stand three meters outside the Liuhuai Pavilion, and then continued: "My lord, the young master has arrived."

As if she had never heard of it, Long Jingying still didn't respond at all.

His eyes seemed to be glued to the painting, from when Su Bian entered the Poetry and Painting Boat to when he stood three meters away from the Liuhuai Pavilion, he never raised his eyes to look at Su Bian.

Through Guowei Xuanyue, Taiwei Ji Yixiao and his predecessor Jiuqing Changhuai and others, Su Bian has thoroughly understood that the high-ranking officials in the capital are generally not 'normal'.

Taiwei Ji Yixiao was suspicious, Admiral Chang Huai abused lynching, Guowei Xuanyue was even more abnormal.

Therefore, Su Bian is not surprised that the other party completely ignores him now, but thinks it is still reasonable.

Su Bianjing said: "My lord, Prime Minister."

...still no response.

Su Bian didn't react much, and continued: "For some reason, the grassroots want to live in the capital. However, all the mansions in the capital were sold out overnight.

If you can come to the prime minister—"

Speaking of this, Su Bian caught a glimpse of the painting on the stone table in the gazebo inadvertently.

Then... the sound stopped abruptly.

Su Bian raised his eyes and looked at Long Jingying with astonishment.

Although only glimpsed a faint spot, the content of the painting is very familiar to Su Bian.

That's his face.

——To be precise, it should be Su Bian in the 21st century, that is, the face of Su Bian's own body.

But the question is, why did his face appear at this time?Is it a coincidence?

...But after going through time travel, Su Bian no longer believes in coincidence.

still is……

Is this actually part of Su Yin's setup?

For example, setting someone in this world to look like him.It's like she set the character of the protagonist in her novel to be exactly the same as him.

Su Bian looked at the painting with a solemn expression.

It was probably because Su Bian's voice stopped abruptly, because of this, finally attracted Long Jingying's attention.

Long Jingying raised her eyes and looked in Su Bian's direction, and then, just like Yueyao's reaction, she suddenly... froze.

It feels... so much alike.

It's clearly not the same face, but it's inexplicable, making people mistakenly think that the person has come back to life.

Long Jingying looked dazed, and unconsciously took a step in Su Bian's direction.

He was about to speak, but after meeting Su Bian's strange and alienated eyes, he quickly returned to his senses.

After regaining his senses, he once again returned to the indifferent and indifferent expression he had just now.

……not him.

It's impossible for 'he' not to know him.

Long Jingying looked away.

Long Jingying raised her thin lips slightly and asked, "Do you know the person in the painting?"

Su Bian looked at the portrait without hesitation, "I don't know it."

Hearing this, Long Jingying raised her eyes and looked at Su Bian.His eyes are deep, like a deep pool, unfathomable.

Su Bian's face didn't turn red, his heart didn't beat, and his expression didn't change.

There is no other reason for lying, but I just don't want to get into another trouble.

Just a mysterious promise is enough.

Furthermore...

Even if the truth is told, the other party may not believe it.

The fact that the face in the portrait is exactly the same as the face on his previous body... is just ridiculous.

Long Jingying withdrew her gaze indifferently.

Long Jingying glanced at Yueyao and said, "Give him what he wants."

Yue-Yao responded respectfully, "Yes, my lord."

After all, Long Jingying didn't look at Su Bian again, as if Su Bian didn't exist at all.

Yue Yao turned to Su Bian, smiled sweetly and said, "My lord, please come here with me."

Su Bian glanced at the painting calmly and looked away.

Su Bian raised his heels and stepped up.

Bizhu still obediently followed behind, without saying a word.

After Su Bian followed Yueyao, Long Jingying raised her eyes and looked in the direction Su Bian left.

His black pupils were like a cold pool, unfathomably deep.

—he was lying.

After following Yueyao to the accountant's house, Yueyao turned her head and said with a slight smile: "My lord, stand outside the door and wait, I'll go inside to look for the deed."

Hearing the word deed, Su Bian was stunned, and said, "Miss, I'm afraid I misunderstood, I just want to rent..."

Before Su Bian finished speaking, Yueyao cut off Su Bian with a smile, and said softly: "Your Excellency just said that you can give me whatever you want, so naturally it means to give you the house."

Su Bian frowned, and was about to speak, but Yueyao cut him off again as if she expected what Su Bian would say next.

Yue Yao said with a gentle smile: "My lord's house is not short of money, nor is there any lack of houses. These things are just some extraneous possessions to my lord, so it's not a pity. My lord said I would give them to you."

Young master, young master, don't delay, just take it as soon as possible. "

Su Bian was silent for two seconds, and said, "Thank you, miss."

Yue Yao smiled, "Young master, you are welcome."

After finishing speaking, he turned and opened the door and walked into the tent.

Yue-Yao rummaged through the tent for a while, and soon found the deed.

Yue Yao took the house deed and walked out of the room, then handed the house deed with the official seal of Shuntian Mansion to Su Bian, saying: "This is the house deed, young master take it."

Su Bianjing said: "Thank you, Miss and Prime Minister."

Yue Yao's eyes were slightly bent, and after saying that you are welcome, you are welcome, and while sending Su Bian out of the Prime Minister's residence, she asked casually, "Why do you want to live in the capital?"

Su Bian walked beside Yueyao, and wrote lightly, "Because I have to work in the capital."

Yue Yao' Oh? ' With a sound, he subconsciously asked again: "Where is the young master working?"

Su Bian replied: "Taiqing Academy."

Yue Yao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Young master is actually able to work as an errand in the Taiqing Court, it's amazing. Do you want to be the secretary or the director?"

Su Bian said expressionlessly, "Jiuqing."

Yue-yao was completely stunned.

At this time, he just reached the gate of Xiangfu.

Su Bian glanced at the direction of the gate, turned back to Yueyao who was stunned, and said, "Thank you for your help, Miss. If there is anything I can do in the future, Miss

Just open your mouth.leave. "

After finishing speaking, Su Bian lifted his foot and left.

Yue-Yao stood where she was, looking at Su Bian's back, unable to recover for a long time.

When Su Bian and Bizhu leave the mansion, the guards who were still invincible just now changed suddenly.

The two said respectfully: "Sir, go slowly."

After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Bi Zhu, who had been holding back all the way in the Prime Minister's Mansion, finally couldn't help taking a deep breath.

Bi Zhu let out a wow, and said excitedly: "The prime minister looks so good-looking! Are all the officials in the capital born so good-looking! They are simply better than those men before your lord...cough..."

Bizhu coughed, and immediately stopped her voice. Then, she quietly glanced at Su Bian to see Su Bian's expression, but what she didn't expect was that Su Bian was not paying attention at all.

on her.

I saw Su Bian staring intently at the house deed in his hand, and then circling back and forth on the spot, looking for the house where No. 18, Xuanwu Street, was written on the land deed.

It stands to reason that since it is the residence of the Xiangfu's subordinates and it is also on Xuanwu Street, it should not be far from the Xiangfu.

nineteen……

Seventeen...

sixteen……

Turning back and forth three times, I found Shiba's mansion, but I just didn't see Shiba.

Bizhu saw Su Bian spinning around in place, so she also looked down at the black and white words on the house deed, then pointed to the direction behind Su Bian, and whispered: "...My lord, is it right?"

This one? "

Su Bian glanced at the eighteenth on the house deed, and then at the gate not far away. He turned around the eighteenth and second, which he ignored three times, and fell silent.

Su Bian walked in the direction of Bizhu's finger, and as soon as he opened the door, Bizhu behind him couldn't help but yelled.

Bizhu looked at the huge mansion in front of her... oh no, it should be called a mansion, Bizhu said excitedly: "My lord, this is bigger than our original Zhuang Mansion!"

After that, he couldn't help but happily ran around the yard.

While running, he said happily: Such a big house doesn’t cost money~

Su Bian looked at the huge mansion in front of him, but his first reaction was not joy, but looking at the deed in his hand.

What exactly did Su Yin write, and why the face in the painting is exactly the same as his?
