Enemies are reborn

Xie Yu's arrogance comes from his meticulous strategy, while Wen Yuke is like an upright and unyielding courtier, for the sake of justice and the well-being of the people.

Standing on the opposite side of the clan, what you are facing is not an open gun, but a hidden arrow.

Xiao Wenxue didn't know what she didn't know about it, but Wen Yuke's situation would only get more and more difficult. She probed Xiao Kunning's meaning: "What has Mr. been up to lately?"

"I don't know. Since I came back, there are only a lot of guards outside the wall, and no news can come in." Xiao Kunning kept silent, Xie Yu still had many old grievances with the emperor, and Princess Leyang's madness seemed She also has some relationship with him. According to Xie Yu's temperament, it will not end easily.

He raised his head and glanced at Xiao Wenxue, who was restless, "You don't have to worry about Mrs. Wen, she is used to acting in a proper manner, and you also know that after the new emperor ascended the throne, the court was restless, and the ministers had their own thoughts. The one in charge is also plotting shady things."

Xiao Mingwang seemed to be busy with their marriage these days, and there were traces of who he was dealing with secretly.

Seeing her relaxed expression, Xiao Wenxue guessed that Xie Yu had a solution, so he could only follow suit, and smiled softly: "Then I will listen to you."

Xiao Kunning smiled brightly, went to a side cabinet, took out a box, and handed it carefully to Xiao Wenxue: "This is my dowry for you, sisters, and she won't take care of you when you leave the Xiao Mansion." You. If you don’t like Wen Yuke, you can find a clean time to get away, and go wherever you want with the money. Remember, the wealth will not be exposed, and you don’t need to teach her to know.”

Luo Shi's thoughts became more and more weird, most likely because of those complicated rules and regulations. A few days ago, the old prince came to the mansion to inquire about the marriage, but Luo Shi said to deal with the Wen family's affairs first, and he was very angry with a few words The prince walked away in a huff.

Xiao Wenxue smiled sadly when she saw the contents in the box, "Where did you come from? Did Zhao Xiran give it to you?"

"Zhao Erdong's family only has her lover in their eyes, and these are from Moxiang Pavilion, so they are hers." Xiao Kunning said in a dazed way, Zhao Xiran's thoughts were different, and he took good care of her, but sent her back to Xiao's house.In her eyes, nothing seemed to matter.

Except, of course, for her maintenance.

Xiao Wenxue was funny: "As a businessman, she is top-notch; as a mother, she is very strange; but when it comes to feelings, everyone has their own opinions. The matter between her and Princess Gaoyang is Zhou Yu's fight. Huang Gai has nothing to do with others."

She accepted this heavy gift very calmly, because she knew that Xiao Kunning did not lack these.

After the two sisters ate barbecue and talked for a while, they went back to the yard to rest.

The snow outside melted again unconsciously, clouds floated over Chang'an City, people wrapped their clothes and walked on the road, and there were a lot fewer peddlers on the street.

There are more infantry patrolling back and forth on the street, walking with halberds, and the shopkeeper retracts his head unconsciously after looking at it with his head.

In mid-November, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs had fewer cases. On the contrary, the emperor accumulated many cases sent by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, all of which required his approval.

After Wen Yuke was busy for a while, he was called home by his grandmother to discuss their marriage.

Grandma is getting old, so she can only walk around the room, telling her about the minutiae, with a smile on her lips and brows, obviously very happy.

Wen Yuke sat back on the chair in relief, not as happy as her grandmother imagined, her crystal eyes were stained with unusual killing after all, she closed her eyes wearily in the midst of her grandmother's words.

After the middle ten days of work, more than half of the Zhao family's clan was injured, and the emperor stayed up for several nights. The important officials in the court were not dominated by the Zhao family.

On the contrary, the clan made a mistake, and the other families wished that they would withdraw and take that piece of fat for themselves.

Many vassal kings from all over the country were implicated, and the emperor ordered people to punish them, and it was their grievances that aroused.

Following the restlessness in the court, the feudal lords from all over the world became more dissatisfied with the emperor. On the eve of Xiao Wenxue's marriage, Zhao Can came to Xiao's mansion in person.

Luo Shi went to greet him in person and greeted him warmly. Zhao Can's complexion was not good, and he was going to see Xiao Kunning after drinking a cup of tea.

Xiao Kunning is not a stable temperament, the two sisters have not gone to see Zhao Can after they came back for so long, which shows that they are not as close as before.The Luo family came from the circle of sisters, and was a little surprised by Zhao Can's arrival.

It was not easy to refuse in front of her, so he ordered the maid to invite Xiao Kunning.

The maid went to invite someone, and the two girls talked and drank tea in the warm pavilion.

After Xiao Kunning heard Zhao Can's name, she shook the tea in her hand, Xiao Wenxue wondered first: "What is she doing in the Xiao Mansion, condescending?"

"I don't come here at will if I have nothing to do. There is always something to do when I come." Xiao Kunning calmed down and found Zhao Can's arrival interesting. He raised his head and asked the maid: "Did she come empty-handed?"

The maid thought about it: "Yes."

Xiao Wenxue's eyes showed sarcasm, "It's interesting, you'd better not go out with her." After learning from the past, Zhao Can became untrustworthy.

"I don't see you. I replied that I would go to Xie's mansion to see Mr. Xie." Xiao Kunning became more vigilant.

The maid saluted and retreated, Xiao Kunning stared at her leaving back, and said with her chin in her hands: "I heard that Shen Rui has nothing to say with her. Shen Rui is busy with border affairs today, and I heard that he will leave after the new year."

"Can I leave?" Xiao Wenxue pinched the needle, and gently dropped it, thinking of something when looking at the rudimentary peach blossom, "Shen Rui wants to get married, when is the date?"

"Undecided, the border is unstable, and Shen Rui doesn't want to get married." Xiao Kunning replied, the figure at the gate of the courtyard disappeared, and his expression became more inquiring.

How Shen Rui's temperament has become incomprehensible, calm and paranoid, like a walking dog, but Xie Yu still pokes a sentence from time to time, as if deliberately making her angry.

What has Shen Rui been up to recently?It seems that I haven't heard from her for many days.

****

The winter wind blew on his face like a knife. The soldiers of the patrol battalion took their cotton coats and returned to the camp. Shen Nan saw that the distribution was over and went back to his residence to rest.

Pushing open the door, Shen Rui just lay straight on his bed, staring straight at the roof beams, "Brother, when will our Shen family be big?"

Zhao Mian was just jealous, Zhao Chulin also looked restless day and night, as if the Shen family would overthrow his throne in the next moment.

"I also feel uneasy recently. Someone is always following me." Shen Nan patted her on the shoulder. In contrast, he was more optimistic, "Military power is a knife. It is to kill the enemy externally, and to kill oneself internally." .You threw the knife to death, holding the knife is like walking on thin ice. What will you do? My father is helpless, and he has come to walk the bird and play chess recently, just to let the emperor feel at ease."

"Do you think he's relieved?" Shen Rui sarcastically asked.Not only did she not feel at ease, but she stared at her more and more closely. Even when she went shopping, someone followed her.

Shen Nan also felt strange: "It stands to reason that he should be at ease, but recently he often beats me."

Shen Rui jumped up, picked up the knife and left, "He will never be at ease."

As long as the Shen family has military power, they will not be at ease.

Anyway, he is worried, so it is better to do according to his mind.

"Go back to the mansion earlier." Shen Nan worriedly followed behind and shouted.

After Shen Rui left the camp, he turned left and left the city, Nongqin didn't follow him, and went back to the mansion to report to Xie Yu.

Xie Yu sat in the house playing the piano, and the intermittent sound of the piano flowed out. He played the piano and said: "Sir, the princess has left the city, and I don't know where he has gone."

"Well, go and invite Shen Shizi here."

The sound of the piano in the room stopped, and Nongqin took orders to leave.

Half an hour later, Shen Nan's horse stopped in front of the gate of Xie's mansion. The young man dismounted from his horse, and quickly disappeared in front of the gate of the mansion with a neat figure.

At the same time, the emperor in the palace smashed the memorial and cursed angrily, the servants did not dare to answer, Zhao Can still stayed in the palace, turned away the servants, and said: "I don't understand why you let the Shen family and Xie Yu come and go. Xie Yu is a woman, if you locked her up, who would dare to object? If you can't move the Shen family, are you afraid of Xie Yu who is alone?"

The emperor looked sullen, and his chest heaved with anger, "Do you think it's that simple? Xie Yu is so close to Shen Siyuan, will the Shen family do nothing?"

Zhao Can raised his eyes, revealing a sharp look, "The Shen family was not fair, and just happened to uproot the Shen family. Didn't you wait until the Shen family pushed Xie Yu to the throne before you realized that you regretted it? "

The emperor became depressed, and the cases piled up on the file still hadn't been dealt with. He gradually calmed down, "Tomorrow, take Xie Yu tomorrow."

Hearing this, Zhao Can was not in the slightest happy, but restrained his emotions, stood up, saluted and left.

*****

On November 28, Xiao Wen's family was overjoyed.

Xie Yu came quite early, together with the old prince, they sat in the pavilion to play chess, Xiao Mingwang went to entertain others after they settled down.

Shen Siyuan suffered a lot from Xie Yu's hands, so he was more careful when playing chess again. The opposite Xie Yu was absent-minded, and instead looked into the distance from time to time.

"Mr. Qi will also come over today, and you two just played a few games."

"You lose me a game before you leave." Shen Siyuan was not polite, knowing that she was going to meet her sweetheart and had to delay.

Xie Yu played chess slowly without making a sound, deliberately took a few wrong steps, walked into his trap, and lost after a while.

Qi Shanbai in the distance came to the pavilion under the guidance of the servant, Xie Yu dropped the chess piece when he saw this, saluted with him from a distance, and quickly left the garden.

The afternoon light was good, and walking in the garden didn't feel the chill. Xiao Wenxue's yard was especially lively. Xie Yu glanced casually and didn't see the little liar.

After exiting the yard, he saw He Lan coming in a hurry, holding a jewelry box in his hand.

However, Xiao Kunning's figure was not seen.

The ceremony was at dusk, and there were not many people in the Xiao residence, so Xie Yu walked around casually, and found someone who was counting the dowry in the courtyard full of dowries.

Xiao Kunning was very clean today, she was wrapped in a primrose-colored jacket, revealing her pink face, as if she was afraid of the cold.

Xie Yu stuffed the cave stove into her hand, "Why did you come here?"

"My mother asked me to keep a close eye on it, so I took a few glances. Why didn't you go to the Wenfu?" Xiao Kunning handed over the gift list to the corresponding steward, and led Xiefu to her yard.

On the way, they met many people who came to congratulate them, and many people came from the Luo family, so the two took the path to avoid it.

It never occurred to him that before he returned to the yard, the servants from outside came to find someone in a hurry, but Xie Yu didn't know who was coming, so he was unmoved.

No one passed by the secluded path, even Xiao Kunning didn't come here often, when she saw a stranger, she almost subconsciously protected Xie Yu behind her: "Which house are you from?"

The young man was wearing gray hemp, and he didn't dare to raise his head when he saw anyone. After hearing Xiao Kunning's words, he smiled and replied: "The young one is from Wen's residence. It is Mr. Wen who wants you to go to the residence. He said yes. There is something important."

Xiao Kunning looked down at him, "Then you report to Master Wen, we will go there later."

"The situation is tense, why don't you two just let it go?"

In the warm winter sun, Xiao Kunning stood in front of the plum blossoms, her pretty eyebrows were slightly bent, and the hand in the cuff touched Xie Yu's wrist, and said with a smile: "Okay, you will lead the way."

The little servant said happily: "Young one, I will lead the way."

Xie Yu followed Xiao Kunning forward calmly, walked through the garden, and then stepped into the more secluded Beiyuan, sometimes seeing one or two maidservants walking in a hurry.

There were many leaves falling on the barren ground, and they creaked when stepped on. Xiao Kunning's eyes fell on a dead branch, and he picked it up casually.

The corners of Xie Yu's lips curled up, pretending not to see, instead he walked with the young man, and began to chat: "How is your master Wen?"

"Okay, it's okay to be overjoyed today."

Xie Yu glanced at Xiao Kunning who was swinging a stick from the corner of his eyes, patted the servant considerately, and pointed to the distance: "Your Master Wen is here."

"Master Wen..." The boy just raised his head when the back of his neck suddenly hurt, and before he could turn around, he fainted on the spot.

Xiao Kunning threw away the stick, kicked the person a little aggressively, and said: "I already knew something was wrong with him, and I panicked when I heard people coming, who is he?"

Xie Yu shook his head, held her red hands, and gently kneaded them, "Isn't this the first time you've acted like this?"

"Follow Zhao Xi, you have to learn something. Back then she took me out to play, and when I met street hooligans, she was the top three." Xiao Kunning raised her lips and smiled, and put Xie Yu's cold hand on the stove, facing each other Her surprised eyes felt rather embarrassed.

Xie Yu's eyes fell on her shy face, thinking over and over in his mind where this person came from, and why did he trick her out of the Xiao Mansion?

Xiao Kunning couldn't think of such a far-reaching matter, so he dragged him back to his yard, and ordered He Lan to boil hot water and prepare a charcoal fire.

Xie Yu was leaning on the couch, Xiao Kunning was busy making tea with pleasure, sometimes a maidservant came to ask questions outside, and sometimes there was some noise in the silence.

After the tea was ready, He Lan came over with the snacks in his hands, glanced at Xie Yu, and carefully put down the snacks.

Xiao Kunning ordered the boy to be dealt with, and he will be sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation tomorrow. Wen Yu will have a few days off, and she is not in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. She turned around and looked at Xie Yu who was on the couch: "Do you want to send him to the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

"It's useless to send it away, and it's useless to stay, so it's better to send it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to suffer some hardships." Xie Yu said calmly, most of the melancholy in her brows and eyes dissipated, she twirled a piece of snack and put it in her mouth, slowly Said: "Don't think too much, it's not a big deal."

Xie Yu handled it lightly, Xiao Kunning didn't feel the slightest bit of relief, but instead asked: "What have you been up to lately? I can't go out, and you don't come here, are you busy?"

"A lot of things, I have people go to Qingcheng to buy a house, not far from the Zhao Mansion, what do you think?" Xie Yu put down the snacks with a smile and pulled her hand closer.

The two cuddled together, and the atmosphere suddenly rose. Xie Yu approached Xiao Kunning, touched her ear and said softly: "Why don't we also do business, and then we will overshadow Zhao Xiran's limelight. It's not bad to see her jumping around and swearing at people every day." of."

Xiao Kunning: "..." What kind of great idea is this?

Xie Yu's thoughts were similar to Zhao Xiran's, she didn't bother to refute, and stuffed the snacks into Xie Yu's mouth casually, "You will lose everything when the time comes, and you will be the one who jumps."

The nodding at the mouth was too sweet, and Xie Yu didn't like it, so Xiao Kunning still swallowed his throat and rubbed her face: "No, with you, it will definitely be a lot of money. After Zhao Xiran has you, the business gradually OK."

"It seems to make some sense." Xiao Kunning smiled foolishly, the corners of her lips lightly touching Xie Yu's nose, eyebrows and eyes.

Xie Yu slowly closed his eyes amidst her immature kiss, a sea of ​​blood emerged in the dark light, his hands in his cuffs tightened suddenly, and when he opened his eyes, he could see Xiao Kunning's clear eyes, which could be seen at a glance.

After a burst of excitement in her heart, she had no intention of continuing to linger with Xiao Kunning. Seeing that the light outside was still early, she said: "I have something to go back to the mansion, so you stay in Xiao's mansion, don't go to Wen's mansion for a banquet."

"Why not go?" Xiao Kunning was puzzled.

"There are a lot of people in Wenfu tonight, you'd better stay here with peace of mind to prevent what happened today." Xie Yu straightened his clothes, fixed his eyes on the suspicious little sieve, and stretched out his slender index finger to tap on her forehead ,"obedient."

Xiao Kunning didn't know what her plan was, and she would just do it without causing trouble, and agreed without even thinking about it, "Okay, you should pay attention to yourself."

Only then did Xie Yu leave with peace of mind, and the hurried figure made people feel confused for a while.

At dusk, Xiao Wenxue's sedan chair left from the gate of the mansion, and a basin of water was poured in front of the gate of Xiao's mansion, Luo Shi's eyes turned red.

Many people went to the Wen Mansion for a banquet, most of the civil servants and officials had gone, Shen Rui came to the Xiao Mansion at this time, wished congratulations with Xiao Ming, they were taken away by the old prince as soon as they stood firm, and the two went to the Wen Mansion.

After the salute, the guests had a good time, and the clear wine reflected the joyful eyebrows and eyes of the guests.Wen Yuke came to entertain her outside, and the old prince came to toast her with a brisk tone. After the two touched the cups, the old prince rolled up his sleeves and said softly, "Be careful tonight."

Wen Yuke drank a lot of alcohol, and his face was slightly drunk. He was in a coma and suddenly sobered up when he heard the words. He still raised his head and drank the wine in the wine cup. He staggered two steps and was supported by the old prince. She smiled softly: "It's too much, too much, let me sober up."

"Okay, go sober up and come back." Shen Siyuan called the maid of Laiwen Mansion to help her leave, then he dragged Qi Shanbai to continue drinking, glanced at the crowd, and saw no sign of Shen Sui.

After Wen Yuke left the banquet, he swayed and walked towards the backyard. As soon as he left the crowd, he stood up straight and called Nongqin who was standing by the side, "Where's Xie Yu?"

"Mr. has gone to the palace, Mr. Wen can rest assured."

After tidying up his clothes, Wen Yuke glanced at her: "Something happened to Wen's house, so I can't settle the accounts with your husband."

Nongqin bowed his head and dared not answer casually. Mr. Wen and Mr. Wen are always at odds. They are like the tip of a needle and a grain of wheat. They are equal in strength and plan, but unfortunately they also have the same vision.

This is very difficult.

When Wen Yuke entered the new house, he saw Xiao Wenxue after taking a bath, his whole body was covered with damp, his slender figure standing behind the bead curtain, faintly visible.
