Records of the King of Xin'an County

Ever since he suddenly realized that there was a possibility of a scandal in the clan on New Year's Eve, the Prince of Xin'an barely suppressed his shock, and seemingly calmly dispatched the staff left by Prince Xian in Beijing, and arranged for them to focus on following Li Ge.After that, he spent the next few days very peacefully.They are all from the clan, they go to banquets every day, and they can see Li Ge and Li Qianniang almost all the time, but he still remains calm, as if nothing had happened.

For the time being, he didn't want to figure out whether he should let his brother Li Xin know about it. After all, there is no evidence at present, it's just a suspicion.Moreover, he was not sure if this matter was true, how to use it to deal with Li Qianniang without hurting the clan's face.Of course, in his heart, he really longed for someone to listen to him.Only after careful discussion can he verify his doubts and resolve his confusion.

So, after receiving a letter from Prince Xian, knowing that he would leave for Chang'an on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Li Hui immediately pushed back the invitation to the banquet and came to the vine garden to wait for his best friend to return.Originally, he was supposed to go to the city gate to greet him, but Wang Ziling and Wang Zimu would return to Beijing together, so he had to wait quietly.

Sure enough, before noon, various voices could be heard from the small courtyard next door.Li Hui then ordered his servants to prepare buttermilk, dried fruits, tea making utensils and other things, and added charcoal fire in the barrier.When everything was ready, the servants retreated knowingly and silently, leaving him alone in the garden.

Not long after, Wang Zixian quickly walked out from the rockery.The corner of his mouth was smiling, and his pace became faster and faster. The moment he entered the barrier and saw his best friend, the joy that floated in his eyes seemed to surge out, and in an instant, it was like a spring breeze blowing on his face and beautiful flowers blooming: "A Hui, let you It's been a long time."

Compared to before, his voice seemed a little hoarse, but it wasn't unpleasant.Li Hui was stunned. He had already experienced the growth of a young man in his previous life, and he also knew what it meant to change his voice. Naturally, he would not think that he was just sick.So, he couldn't help laughing and said: "In the future, you have to talk less, so as not to hurt your throat. I will ask the nurse to prepare some throat-moistening prescriptions and send them to you. Remember to take them on time."

"Okay." Prince Xian replied with a smile.They had only been separated for more than half a month, but he felt as if he hadn't seen each other for a long time, and it was inevitable that he would feel like "not seeing each other every day is like three autumns apart".The feeling of longing was stronger than he expected, and he couldn't help but look at the other party carefully.After discovering many small changes, I was pleasantly surprised, but also inexplicably sad, and I seemed to be asking secretly: Why didn't you stay by his side when these changes happened?

In the letter, he explained what happened in Shangzhou in a few words, but Li Hui was still a little curious about the many details, so he couldn't help but ask a few more questions - just what was said in the letter, he could guess these How lively the Wang family is in heaven.Out of his disgust for Wang Chang, Xiao Yang and others, he would also like to hear more about their loss and heart, liver, spleen and lung pain that they repeatedly cut their flesh and bloodletted, but they still got nothing.

So, while cooking tea, the prince said, "Through these days, in order to raise money and buy important gifts, Xiao Yang sold two barren farms and one shop, all of which were my mother's dowry. Let Sun Rong send someone to buy it and hand it over to him to manage it. It just so happens that he has already set up the Xu family, and it should be quite smooth to sell some goods from Chang'an to Shangzhou. My mother also has a big farm in Huazhou. I will make her have to give up the two shops in the city of Huazhou."

Mentioning the Xu family and thinking of Li Qianniang who married into the Xu family, Li Hui's face could not help but change slightly.He hesitated for a while before Fang asked: "Zixian, if a man suddenly lifts up the heavy veil on the curtain of a woman, and can't help lowering his eyes and smiling at her - does he have feelings for this woman?"

"..." The prince paused when he poured tea, and then continued at a leisurely pace.

He keenly noticed the change in his friend's expression, and before he had time to contemplate the meaning of the words, his usual calmness was already gone.Many speculations in my heart almost surged out, as if ice-cold water poured down, extinguishing all the warmth just now.After that, his mood became extremely calm again, but under the flat ice surface, it seemed that something was about to pounce out at any time, galloping and flowing wantonly, drowning everything.

He pondered over all the words almost unconsciously, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't control the dark fire in his heart.At the same time, there seemed to be another him who was looking at his own reaction, and asked again and again with a sneer: Why did you have a dark fire?Why are you angry?why are you upsetWhy are you—jealous? !

However, he had no time to take into account the questions that sounded in his heart, and said with a slight smile, "Is it possible that Ah Hui has met... the person he likes?" , barely audible.

After hearing this, Li Hui suddenly pressed his hand that was pouring tea, and couldn't help laughing, "Zixian, you lost your composure." The tea had already overflowed the rim of the cup and flowed down the stone table. Wet his robe.

Wang Zixian put the long-handled tea spoon back into the copper kettle, got up and wiped the tea.After finally suppressing all emotions temporarily, Fang said: "It's just too surprised. You never mentioned before that you have a favorite little lady. You are obviously a few months younger than me, I can't think of..."

Li Hui laughed again and interrupted him: "How could you think I was in love?"

Wang Zixian was stunned, and finally calmed down completely: "Then who are you talking about? There is no cause and effect, so I can only guess it is you." Those questions in his heart were still echoing, but he had no time to think carefully—— —Perhaps he had vaguely realized something long ago, but he didn't want to think about it.Just as he hopes to keep the secret of their acquaintance forever hidden, he is unwilling to pursue any matter that may affect the intimacy between them.Whether the voice in his heart was laughing loudly or venting anger, he had to ignore it for the time being.

"Zixian, you're overthinking." This was the first time Li Huishang saw his friend's reaction so intensely, and he couldn't help but want to tease him, "Are you worried that you won't meet the happy little lady for a while, and lose to me? Don't worry, I have a very high vision, I won't be tempted easily, and I don't know if I can meet the person I like in this life. You just need to work a little harder, and you can beat me."

Unexpectedly, Wang Zixian was not moved anymore, and poured tea for him again with a smile, firmly saying, "Even if you can't find someone who is tempting in your life, I will always be with you, so don't worry. "

Seeing that he had returned to normal, Li Hui felt quite a pity: "It's a rare opportunity to tease you. It's a pity that I didn't seize the opportunity. Well, let's not mention this matter, lest you get embarrassed and get angry. Just ignore me." Then, he told all about what he saw on New Year's Eve: "According to my guess, that little lady should be Li Qianniang. However, although I have asked Buqu to investigate, there is no evidence for the time being. Thinking about it, During the New Year's Eve, people often gather together to have a banquet, so they should also be careful."

"If you are really a cautious person, you will not do such ambiguous things in public." Wang Zixian commented, "Sooner or later, there will be evidence, so you can rest assured. Speaking of which, I just want to see it Sun Rong, brother and sister, maybe you can also ask them for some news. Or, let them pay attention to it in the future."

"Indeed, if it's convenient for them, they might be able to help us collect evidence." Li Hui had never met the Sun brothers and sisters, and only knew that they were approaching the Xu family.Today, Sun Rong has become Xu Tian's trustworthy person thanks to his increasingly close business contacts, and often goes in and out of the Xu family's mansion as a friend; Not only can I attend banquets with them occasionally, but I can also see Li Qianniang from time to time.

"How about going to meet them together?" Prince Xian asked.He has always felt that no matter what he encounters, he must carefully grasp the timing.The matter between Li Ge and Li Qianniang could not be said to be an opportunity to completely ruin the reputation of the Yichuan county magistrate.Of course, this matter is related to the reputation of the royal family, and perhaps the royal family will try their best to suppress it, which is not enough as an excuse to deal with Li Qianniang.However, is Xu Tian willing to endure it?Are you willing to live under the same roof with Li Qianniang in the future? ——The gap between the Xu family and Li Qianniang is the best opportunity.

"Alright." Li Hui was also quite curious about the Sun brothers and sisters, and nodded in agreement.

Prince Xian then sent someone to quietly send a message without mentioning it.However, the brothers and sisters of the Sun family had special identities and were not suitable to appear in Fuji Garden, so the two of them changed into seemingly ordinary clothes and went to a barbarian restaurant in West City.

Just now I came out in a hurry, before lunch, Wang Zixian recommended a few signature foods in the restaurants.Li Hui tasted Tianhua Biluo, Sesame Hubing and Gulouzi, etc., and found them to be quite good: "The flavor is very unique, how did Zixian discover this place?"

"It was recommended by those friends of Guozixue. When they are free, they will come here to try something new. They often gather here because it is lively enough." The prince offered, and glanced at the people who were performing songs and dances in the middle of the floor. Orchid.Those orchids were all dressed in Western Region women's attire, their figures were very graceful, and their dancing postures were even more charming.He looked at Li Hui who was looking at them curiously, and a slight displeasure rose in his heart for no reason.

"Most of the food cooked by barbarian restaurants is a little greasy, you may not be used to it." After diverting his friend's attention through the topic, Fang Fang felt much calmer.

"It's okay to taste it once in a while," Li Hui said.

Wang Zixian couldn't help but order Cao Silang to go to other nearby restaurants to buy some vegetarian dishes.Fresh vegetarian dishes in winter are quite rare, but as long as you can afford it, you can buy something you like.

Li Hui couldn't help laughing again and said, "When I come back from the New Year, Zi Xian has some money on hand."

Wang Zixian raised his eyebrows: "Use it if you can, and use it up earlier. If you don't say it, it will show that I have been working hard. Otherwise, I am afraid that people will ask for it under various names, or they will slander me behind the scenes. It’s a matter of reinstatement.” Obviously, he should be talking about his second brother Wang Ziling.

"Then how do you plan to send a heavy gift to Zuo Siye of the Imperial Academy?"

"Send it when you want. Zuo Siye has taken good care of me, and it is only right to give it away as a thank you. Moreover, after sending Zuo Siye, how can we not send sacrificial wine? Not send you Siye? The school officials under me have taken care of me to some extent, so it should be done up to the etiquette."

After all, the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was in silence.

The author has something to say: Wang Langjun: Could it be that A Hui has met...the person he likes?

Jingfen: Heh, why do you have a dark flame?Why are you angry?Why are you upset?Why do you--get jealous?

Wang Langjun: (press and hold the fine point, ignore it: &...*%...￥#)

Xiaojun Wang: (⊙o⊙) Zixian, are you worried that you won’t meet the happy little lady for a while, and you will lose to me?Don't worry, my vision is very high, maybe I will never meet it in my life?

Wang Langjun: Even if you can't find a tempting person in your life, you will always have me as your companion, so feel at ease.

Xiaojun Wang: (￣▽￣) "Hey, it seems that I failed to moles you.

Wang Langjun: ... (I don't know why, I feel a sense of loss)

Accurate score: ^^, you deserve it, the confession failed.
