heart. "
A trace of unbearableness flashed in Si Ling's eyes, and she was immediately suppressed by herself. The royal family can't help themselves since birth... Xun Huan is such an important pawn, if it is used by others, it will be a serious problem. Take it back Self-use is the best!
Seeing that the atmosphere had cooled down, Hong Kuo smiled awkwardly and said, "If you say that Xun Huan is also a rising star in the business world, he is also delicate and elegant, only the silver mask on the right face is a bit abrupt, I don't know what is hidden in it."
"What's hidden, why should we care?" Although Si Ling said this in his mouth, he was extremely curious about the mask in his heart. Thinking about it, it was also a piece of the past in the world of mortals, and he didn't want others to know.
In Kailiu City, the news that Xun Huan left for the capital spread, and Xuan Ruize had a good relationship with her, so he invited Xun Huan to a secluded gathering of elegant scholars and practiced with sake.
"Brother Xun, I, Xuan Ruize, have never respected others in my life except serving my parents and being filial to the elders. Brother Xun is the savior of my Xuanfu, and also my confidant and benefactor of Xuanmou. This glass of wine, Xuanmou, respects you. I hope you have a safe journey and everything is fine in Beijing!" Xuan Ruize stared at the person in front of him closely, as if he was looking at someone through her, although Xun Huan's younger sister was twins with him, but... this is also Too similar!
Xun Huan solemnly raised his wine glass, drank it down, and said with a smile, "Brother Chengxuan said auspicious words." Xuan Ruize smiled wryly and said, "Brother Xun used to laugh like this...you haven't put it down yet? "
Since that day, Xun Huan has become indifferent, revealing an unapproachable coldness, even when he smiles, there is an indescribable bitterness hidden.Xun Huan closed his eyes, opened them again, his eyes were clear, and said: "The past is over, why should Brother Xuan mention it again? Today should be your farewell banquet, why mention those irrelevant things?"
Xuan Ruize nodded with a sneer, and said: "I was reckless, and I punished myself with three glasses of wine!" After finishing the three glasses of wine, the two talked about what they had and what they had, and then they went back happily and left the front Xuan Ruize also said that he would definitely win the next imperial examination, and that he would have another drink with Xun Huan in Beijing.
Xun Huan knew that he hated the children of officials the most in his life. Although he was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, he disdained to be with them, and hated the darkness of the officialdom, so he only thought that he was comforting himself, but Xuan Ruize had other thoughts.
He is eager to know all the information about Xun Huan and his sister, even the officialdom that he hates the most, he is willing to step in. If he is an official, he must be able to help Xun Huan a lot, he can no longer tell what is in his heart Is it Xun Huan, or his sister?It turned out that the love didn't know where it started, and it went deeper and deeper.
In the early morning of the next day, the torment of the hangover was still there, and Xun Huan thought of Zhu Le again. He thought that he would never have any emotions again, but when he got drunk, his mind was full of her!Covering her aching heart, Ahua knocked on the door, reminding her that it was time to leave for Beijing today.
After getting dressed, Xun Huan led a few able-bodied servant girls, and Ah Hua brought a white horse, and asked Xun Huan to get on the horse. Xun Huan turned his head and stared at the towering peach tree, silently, Ah Hua called Said: "Young master..."
"En." Xun Huan came back to his senses: "Cut down that peach tree..." The servants looked at each other, A Hua immediately asked a few servants to take the axes, and with a loud crash, Xun Huan rode on The white horse has a cold face, and when the peach tree in the courtyard slowly falls, her Xun Huan's heart will no longer be opened for anyone.
The Xun Mansion became very quiet in a day, only a young doorman watched the night, sleepy and drowsy at night, but before going to sleep, he seemed to see a woman in red flying towards him, but it was just a hallucination after all, Is that madam?No...the Xun Mansion...no wife...
Zhu Le caressed carefully the broken part of the peach tree, over and over again, unable to bear the sadness in his heart, and burst into tears, Xiuzhi, Xiuzhi, you know how much I want to grow old with you!My mother is forcing me to die, so how should I choose?
Xiuzhi, I betrayed you... You cut it off today, is it because you want to completely break the relationship between you and me?But I can't forget, I can't let go!Weeping so weakly by the tree, this time, Xun Huan will never come up quickly again, comforting him softly, won't he hug himself tightly again?
In the depths of love, it is the most mellow poisonous wine. The two drink it willingly. They have to taste joy, sorrow, bitterness, and heart-biting pain. get well.
Go to Qi Wang Banquet
"Guest officer, please come inside, do you want to be a top-notch or stay in the shop? The shop has the well-known five-spice beef in the capital~" The waiter in the shop warmly greeted Xun Huan and a group of servants, and Ah Hua replied: "Please come out from the shopkeeper. Well, let’s say Mr. Xun is here.”
The waiter in the shop thought that the visitor might have status, so he hurriedly invited the shopkeeper. As soon as the shopkeeper came out and saw Xun Huan who was as indifferent as ice, he bowed respectfully and said, "The master is here, and the upper room is ready." , just wait for the young master to stay."
"En." Xun Huan only responded, and the waiter in the shop understood, and hurriedly took him to the house there. It will be a matter of time before the Xun family's industry spreads to the capital, and the young master is here now, so he must have settled in the capital.
On the night Xun Huan stayed, Yuwen Hongkuo came to the door to show his friendship, and handed over an invitation to the palace to enjoy flowers in the future. Xun Huan knew early on that Yuwen Hongkuo's identity was the third prince of the dynasty, King Qi. Nodding lightly in agreement, the two of them didn't have much to say, they only drank two sips of weak tea, and Yuwen Hongkuo left.
"Prince Qi values the young master so much, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing to wait for." The shopkeeper's name is Zhang Jia, who has been in the capital for decades, and is loyal to the master, so Xun Huan can trust him to take care of the property, Xun Huan sighed softly : "So what about bad things? Since I entered the capital, there has been no peace. I need to rely on his manpower, and he needs my financial resources. Everyone gets what they need."
Zhang Jia nodded, and said: "Young Master, you can see clearly, you are a little stupid." Xun Huan played with the crystal white jade in his hand, and after thinking about something, he ordered: "Give this jade to the king of Qi, and another Then I will take some rare treasures from the warehouse, and I will pick them up at night and bring them to the banquet that day."
"Yes." Zhang Jia really admired the calm and mature Xun Huan, who was not surprised by honor or disgrace. Such a young man can have such a temperament, which is really not to be underestimated.
King Qi's mansion is grand and magnificent, with carved railings and painted buildings. As soon as Xun Huan handed over the invitation card, his servants respectfully took it to the right of the chairman, causing dissatisfaction among many people, many of whom were looked down upon by officials. For merchants, and Xun Huan received this honor, which is actually a big attraction.
Xun Huan understood this, but he didn't have any ripples in his heart, so why should he be afraid of wind and rain?Sitting down calmly to taste wine, everyone looked at him highly instead, Yuwen Hongkuo nodded secretly, he was really not an ordinary businessman, the imperial sister really saw the right person, and immediately thought of the matter of recruiting a son-in-law a few days ago, smiled slightly, if this person in front of him People, it's not impossible.
The scenery in the backyard of the palace is very beautiful. Yuwen Hongkuo held the banquet by the Qingxi River. In the distance is the Qianli Lake. The lotus is in full bloom, and the playful and lively fish in the water make the summer scenery infinitely better.From the beginning to the end, Xun Huan just sipped tea and ate some delicious desserts. No matter what King Qi said to the diners or guests present, he remained calm.
In fact, she did have doubts today, King Qi didn't have much communication with her, even if she wanted to win her over, she didn't have to do it so obviously, it would be harmful to him to provoke the envy and jealousy of others.
"Summer is such a beautiful scenery, if you don't write poems right, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the beauty of the day?" Qiu Ke, the second son of the prime minister, dressed as a scholar, was gentle and modest. Fan, but no disdain.
Xun Huan had sorted out the intricate relationship between the rich and powerful in the capital yesterday. Although Qiu Ke was the prime minister's second son, he was the prime minister's illegitimate son. The elders in the house and even the father's favorite.
The prime minister has always been the eldest prince Wei Wang's party, but Qiu Ke has a good relationship with Qi Wang. Even if he is not favored, he is his own flesh and blood after all. Which king is more reliable, it can be regarded as two-handed control.
Everyone focused on Xun Huan, and Qiu Ke even called him by name: "I wonder if Mr. Xun can set an example for us?" Xun Huan pretended to be embarrassed, and said: "I only know how to run a business. Can't do it."
Many officials' children whispered, nothing more than some mocking words, Xun Huan refused to comment, Qi Wang smoothed things over, saying: "Brother Xun was met by this king in Kailiu City, and he is the savior of the seventeenth imperial sister. With respect as the guest of honour, this king appreciates Brother Xun's temperament, so everyone present should not embarrass him any longer."
As soon as King Qi said this, no one dared to make a mistake, and Qiu Ke sat down thoughtfully and said nothing more. He didn't go forward until the banquet was over, the guests were gone, and Xun Huan got up to say goodbye. He saluted respectfully, and said: "My Xia Qiuke, whose name is Wenyao, has offended me so much just now, and I hope Mr. Xun will be merciful."
"It's okay." Xun Huan only replied lightly, what did Yuwen Hongkuo want to do by imposing the original treatment on himself?It was really hard to understand, seeing that she was about to leave, Qiu Ke hurriedly stopped her, and said: "Excuse me for being abrupt, since brother Xun cured the princess' strange disease, I think it must be because of his good medical skills?"
Xun Huan raised his eyebrows and waited for his next words. Qiu Ke was a smart man and knew that Xun Huan wanted to listen, so he immediately answered, "My mother's illness is also weird, but not as serious as the princess... And...my father..."
Qiu Ke is an illegitimate child, and the prime minister will keep it safe, but his mother is not allowed to enter the prime minister's mansion. Although Qiu Ke promised on the surface that he would not see his mother and would be adopted under his wife's knees, he is a dutiful son after all, and secretly bought a house for his mother.
