Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

Chapter 17

That day, Zhao Xiyan deliberately talked about Qinglian Sect and that Zhu Juren with Qin Huaian, but he didn't expect Qin Huaian to really know this Zhu Juren.He also told Zhao Xiyan that after half a month, famous talents in Suzhou would gather for a boat trip, and that Zhu Juren would definitely come.Zhao Xiyan thought that the members of the Qinglian sect were all scholars, and the news passed to the emperor by the officials below was that the scholars were dissatisfied with the imperial examinations and prepared to rebel.Regardless of whether it is true or not, the emperor always has to deal with it, because as an emperor, rebellion is the most taboo.Zhao Xiyan is the best example, his own son is like this, let alone some scholars who have nothing to do with him.Zhao Xiyan always felt that the matter of the Qinglian Sect was not so complicated. He had been in Suzhou for a while, and except for the night of the assassination, he had a fairly comfortable life.These days, he walked around the city and sent many people to inquire about the Qinglian Sect, but they still found nothing.Those old cabbage clappers in the imperial court said that this Qinglian sect gathered people to prepare for rebellion, but he came to Suzhou by himself but found nothing.If there are many congregants, then the entire city of Suzhou has not found anything except this Zhu Juren.Zhao Xiyan was a little angry, he couldn't figure out what good it would be for these old cabbage clappers to say that the Qinglian Sect was planning to rebel, and let the emperor take them all together.But he still didn't give up on these clues and continued to investigate.

Su Qingshu's injury gradually healed, and he often got out of bed and walked around. Zhao Xiyan also rarely saw her because of Qinglian Sect's affairs.Su Qingshu gets up early every day and asks the maid to open the window. Zhao Xiyan always goes out at this time every morning, and she also takes a look at him at this time.Su Qingshu was overjoyed to see Zhao Xiyan wearing the sachet she made by herself every day.That day Zhao Xiyan came to tell her that he was busy investigating the case and couldn't visit her every day, and she felt unhappy.But she also felt that a man's heart should be put on the big things, what's the matter with indulging in children's affair.If the prince does not do business because of her, then the father should say that he is charming.Not only her father, but probably everyone in the world would call her foxy.That's all she can do, look at him every day when the time is right.

After a few more days, I found something, but the result seemed to be different from what those cabbage clappers said.Zhao Xiyan had no choice but to write an excerpt, first telling the emperor about the situation in detail.Zhao Xiyan finished writing the notebook that day, and felt that he couldn't wait any longer, so he went to find Qin Huaian and together they went to Huamanlou, waiting for Zhu Juren.It was already night now, and the alley of Huamanlou was just lit up with lights, Zhao Xiyan and Qin Huaian came here, just as they entered, they saw this Zhu Juren drinking in the hall, exchanging drinking orders with others, how pleasant it was.This time Zhao Xiyan didn't have a private room, instead, he and Qin Huaian sat down at a table closest to Zhu Juren's in the lobby, and ordered a lot of food and wine.While drinking with Qin Huaian, Zhao Xiyan looked at Zhu Juren from the corner of his eye.He is just a Juren, why is his purse so rich, he spends his days drinking all over the building, and after investigating, he finds that his family background is not so good.

"Brother Xia, why did you say you want to get to know this Zhu Juren? And you asked me about Qinglian Sect that day. You are a person from the capital, how would you know? This old Zhu is just a sour scholar. He has been named Luosun Shan in the imperial examinations for several years. For some reason, he seems to have gotten rich recently, and he comes here every day for recreation."

"Maybe he has some clever plan to make a fortune? You will take me to make friends with this Zhu Juren later."

"Why do you know him? I'm a sour scholar, so I don't bother to make friends with him."

"Brother Qin, please lead me to get to know each other."

"Don't go, don't go, Brother Xia, don't go, how can you lower your status to make friends with this kind of people."

Seeing Qin Huaian like this, Zhao Xiyan was very helpless, so he invited Qin Huaian to listen.

"Let me tell you secretly, my surname is not actually Xia, but my surname is Zhao, Zhao Qi's Zhao."

Qin Huaian was dumbfounded after hearing this, the surname Zhao is the surname of the emperor, Zhao Qi, the Zhao family belongs to the Qi Dynasty.Qin Huaian's mind exploded a little. The person in front of him is a relative of the emperor.Couldn't he be a prince at this age?

"you you you……"

"Eleven sons today, Prince Duan, Zhao Xiyan."

"You are the prince?" Qin Huai'an's eyes widened, thinking that it's no wonder that Shi Zhixian would follow him as a follower, the reason for this is too big, he just...

"That's right, I'm a prince. I'm here to investigate the Qinglian sect in the south of the Yangtze River by order. This Zhu Juren is a breakthrough point, so I have to get acquainted, do you understand?"

"understand."

"I make it clear that my identity is not used to suppress you, but that I can trust you, and you will definitely help me a lot. What's more, with your identity, I'm afraid it will be a big trouble. Follow me. If you want to restore your daughter's body in the future, you can do whatever you want. If you want to continue Living as a man is also up to you. After this matter is found out, after you marry that Miss Shen, you can go to Beijing with me. You are the bastard of the family, and I am afraid that you will not get anything. For future plans, follow the king to decide I don't treat you badly."

"I still don't know whether Shen Hongdou agrees or not, let alone why she will go with me."

"It's still the same old saying, if you don't ask her or don't tell her, no one can answer your doubts for you. Find a good time and ask her. Don't think about it alone, just ask."

"Oh"

Zhao Xiyan looked at Qin Huaian's childlike appearance, it was funny and cute.In fact, he didn't think that Qin Huaian could help him, but he felt that Qin Huaian was the same person as him, and wanted to help him. It made him feel a little help, so that he wouldn't be as helpless as himself .Qin Huaian took Zhao Xiyan to take the initiative to befriend this Zhu Juren, and it was a hypocritical boast.This Zhu Juren was also drunk, and was flattered by others, but his surname was unknown.Zhu Juren saw that the young masters of the weaving family came to praise him, and it seemed that he would be regarded as a prominent figure in Suzhou in the future.So he put down his vigilance, Zhao Xiyan called many Yingying and Yanyan, and transferred Zhu Juren to the private room of Huamanlou alone.It didn't take long for Zhao Xiyan and Qin Huaian to get drunk. At this time, Qin Huaian sent those Yingying Yanyan away, and Zhao Xiyan started to talk.They all say the truth after drinking, how could Zhao Xiyan not use such a good thing as wine?From the mouth of the drunk Zhu Juren, Zhao Xiyan knew where the Qinglian Sect's den in Suzhou was. It turned out that it was hidden in the underground of the largest gambling house in the east of the city. The leader was indeed Zhou Wei.Zhao Xiyan also set out Zhou Wei's residence, but before he came and asked what Qinglian Sect was for, Zhu Juren fell asleep.Zhao Xiyan kicked several times angrily when he saw Zhu Juren's demeanor that he failed to accomplish anything but failed.Qin Huaian sent someone to send Zhu Juren home, and the two of them got into the carriage and went back to the residence.Zhao Xiyan went back to the house to think about countermeasures, and before parting with Qin Huai'an, he told him to find a good time to express his feelings to Miss Shen, and Qin Huai'an fell into deep thought.Turning around, Zhao Xiyan thought of himself and the princess, and smiled.Zhao Xiyan wondered if two women could really love each other and stay together?But no one gave him an answer.He still didn't go to Su Qingshu's place to see her tonight, and went straight back to his room to take a bath and rest.He was lying on the bed, looking out at the starry night with the window wide open, thinking about the past, the present, and the future.I don't know how long I thought about it, but I gradually became sleepy and fell asleep.There was a garden in the dream, which was full of bright peach trees, the branches were covered with peach blossoms, a rain of flowers was blowing by the breeze, there was a couple of lovers playing in the woods, Zhao Xiyan tried hard to see the faces of the lovers clearly, but how Can't see either.

Qin Huaian returned to the Qin Mansion, before reaching the gate, Shen Jiyue intercepted Qin Huaian at the entrance of the alley.

"Well, you Qin Huaian, I haven't hit you for a few days, and you ran to Huamanlou again. Tell me how happy Huamanlou is, and it attracts you to go every day!"

"Let go, it hurts so much! It's not me, it's Brother Xia, no, it's Brother Zhao who asked me to go with him."

"Brother Xia and Brother Zhao, I think your skin is itchy."

In Qinhuai'an, she was dragged by Shen Jiyue to the yard of her home less than twenty steps away from her home.Qin Huaian's ears were about to be pulled off by Shen Jiyue, grinning in pain, Shen Jiyue quickly let go of her hands when she saw it. "Tell me, why did you go to Huamanlou again today? Is it because your father paid too much monthly money?"

"No, no, I really didn't want to go. The brother Xia who invited us to drink last time invited me to go." Qin Huaian told Shen Jiyue ten thousand five hundred and ten, and Shen Jiyue jumped in fright.What frightened her was not Zhao Xiyan's status as a prince, but Qin Huaian's identity being known by Zhao Xiyan.Shen Jiyue was worried that Qin Huaian's identity would be exposed by Zhao Xiyan.Not only is Qin Huai'an in a difficult situation, but their marriage is also going to be ruined.Qin Huaian seemed to see Shen Jiyue's worry.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine with King Duan in the future."

"Who told you this. I mean your identity!"

"I trust King Duan. If he wants to expose me, he will expose me on the same day. Why bother to talk to me in private to cover up for me."

"Although I don't think he looks like a bad person, but who knows if there are other things? You have no power or influence, and you have no advantage to please him. Why does he want you to come to Beijing?"

"I don't know about that, but if I don't follow him, I won't be able to fight against my two elder brothers if we split up in the future. I'm afraid that poisonous woman will attack me and my mother, and even your Shen family's wealth. Do it. You know, I don't want that."

"Let's just observe and observe first. I know you are in a difficult situation, but don't rush to invest in a hurry."

"Understood, let me accompany King Duan to investigate the matter of Qinglian Sect first."

"You can just hide in the dark and help, don't expose it."

"got it."

"But remember from now on, don't go to places like Huamanlou. Otherwise, I'll be skinned off by you."

Seeing that he was still looking for excuses, Shen Jiyue raised his whip to scare him, Qin Huaian really hid.

"I won't go by myself. I'm always dragged away."

"There is a carriage at the door, you should go home quickly, your father should send someone out to look for you later."

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

Qin Huaian knew that Shen Jiyue cared about him, so he agreed with a smile.He remembered what Zhao Xiyan said during the day to find a good time to express his heart to Shen Jiyue and ask the question in his heart clearly.So he stepped out of the door with one foot, but turned around abruptly, Qin Huaian at the door and Shen Jiyue in the room met their eyes.

"Shen Jiyue!"

"Qin Huaian! What do you want to say?"

Qin Huaian looked into Shen Jiyue's bright eyes, hesitated to speak, but still didn't have the courage to ask, so he was discouraged and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"No, I want to say good night to Shen Jiyue."

"Then, good night, Qin Huai'an."

Qin Huaian turned around to leave, but Shen Jiyue stopped Qin Huaian again.Shen Jiyue took out a bag of things wrapped in silk from under the pillow and stuffed it to Qin Huaian, then closed the door with a bang, telling Qin Huaian to leave quickly.Qin Huaian was puzzled, clutching the bag tightly.Qin Huaian disappeared into the night, but Shen Jiyue opened the window to look in the direction he was leaving, and softly said "fool".Qin Huaian got into the carriage and returned home under the moonlight. On the carriage, he opened the small silk bag.Spread it out and see that it is all red beans.He looked at these red beans and couldn't understand why Shen Jiyue gave him a packet of red beans.Qin Huaian returned home with doubts, tossing and turning at home unable to sleep.
