Spring Banquet Chapter 77: Zhu Xin

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Spring Festival Banquet!

I have been together for half a year anyway. Huaiyu has seen Jiang Xuanjin in various appearances. When her eyes are full of joy, when her body is tight, and when her ears are flushed with shame.

I thought it was a thorough understanding, who would have thought...

I raised my eyes and looked at the person standing in front of me, and then looked at the room where only the two of them were in, Huaiyu smiled lightly: "What advice do you have?"

In the past, he could not hear his breathing. After all, this person has a good manner and has a stable inner strength, but now, she is two steps away from him, and can clearly hear his messy breath, like a mess, He sucked the air that didn't belong to him weakly, and nearly died.

Jiang Xuanjin raised her eyes and looked at her, her eyes couldn't see through even the slightest amount of light, they were so dark, like the sea in the middle of the night when a storm was approaching.

He walked closer to her, his white fingertips seemed to want to touch her swollen belly, but eventually he stopped an inch away. Slowly speak, and the sound is like a dry bucket falling in a dry well, astringent and empty: "I thought about it for a long time..."

"After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out, where is Lu Jingxing better than me?"

There are grievances in the tone, as well as the trembling and choking caused by the extreme anger. The Adam's apple rolls up and down like you've been drinking. His face didn't have much expression, as if he had been frozen by the cold wind just outside.

He looks like this, if she still can't guess what's going on, she will have a long head.

How to put it... I was still worried about him coming to **** the child from her, but now I was a little bit dumbfounded. Huaiyu asked him: "Who told you the news?"

Jiang Xuanjin didn't answer, but instead asked her: "If others don't tell me, are you going to keep it from me forever?"

Huaiyu smiled lightly: "What good is there if you know it?"

Heart is muffled, Jiang Xuanjin looked down and laughed in a low voice: "Can you lie to me again? Just say that this child is mine. When you were with me, you didn't let anyone else out." In my heart."

"Wow." Huaiyu clapped her hands and said with a smile, "This child belongs to you."

Pinching her hand against her chest, Jiang Xuanjin's lips were white, her long eyelashes drooped, and she trembled under her eyes, obviously not taking her words seriously.

Huaiyu tilted his head, stretched out his other hand and touched him.

The king of Ziyang, standing upright, was trembling all over, his body was cold, and his clothes were cold.

Suddenly wanted to hug him, like a long time ago, with fingers clasped together, giving him all the temperature on his body to make him warmer.

But... I looked down at my stomach, and Huaiyu tugged at the corner of his mouth.

It's impossible. One step closer to her will be crushed. It's better to step back and go far, at least to save the little guy in her stomach.

"Does the eldest princess still hate me?" the person in front of him said with a voice as soft as catkins, "If you still hate, how do you plan to retaliate? Can you tell in advance so that you can prepare for it next time?"

Huaiyu wanted to talk to him in a relaxed and funny tone, but inexplicably, her voice tightened.

"I don't hate you anymore." She pursed her lips, "Xu Xian and others are fine, and I am fine. You protect me from the palace and return to Danyang from Kyoto. You and I have already reached each other."

To offset, that is, it is irrelevant anymore, so avoid him, not see him, and never want to get involved with him anymore.

Thinking about this kind of thing belongs only to him.

Holding her hand and slowly closing it, Jiang Xuanjin said in a heavy tone: "If, I don't want to fight each other?"

"If I still want to embarrass you?"

Huaiyu was taken aback, and his body tightened: "What do you want?"

The sneer on her lips widened, Jiang Xuanjin said in a low voice: "Isn't the princess habitual to do bad things? How can I not guess what I am thinking now?"

Li Huaiyu felt uncomfortable when he said this. Do you want to deal with her? Because she felt that the child in her belly was not his, so she was so angry that she was going to ruin her?

There was a chill behind her back, and Huaiyu subconsciously took a half step back.

However, behind her was a soft couch with a two-inch-high footboard in front of her. She didn't pay attention in a panic. As soon as she went up on the bar, she lost her center of gravity and fell backwards uncontrollably.

Ziyang Jun, who was still full of ferocious face just now, turned white immediately, grabbed her hand and pulled hard to stop some of her tendency to fall, one side of her body rushed to her back on the soft couch Before the edge, he guarded her back.

There was a bang, and the person behind snorted, holding her waist in his hand and slowly putting her in his arms.

The pupils shrink slightly. Li Huaiyu stared blankly at the furnishings in the room in front of him. After a while, he turned his head and looked behind him.

Jiang Xuanjin pursed her lips, with a mist in her eyes, as if she was still in shock, stretched her hand across in front of her, and hugged her tightly. The chin rested on her shoulder and closed her eyes.

"You..." Huaiyu opened his mouth and wanted to ask him if it hurts, but he felt it was wrong and stopped talking abruptly.

The room was quiet, the turquoise clothes scattered on the treads, mixed with the corners of her peony-patterned robe, stained with some gray.

There were people standing outside the house. Qing Xian and the others tried to enter the house several times, but they were all stopped by Ji Wu. Chengxu and Yufeng's faces were ugly. Although Lu Jingxing next to him still had a smile on his face, his eyes were not relaxed.

The two people said they wanted to talk about it by themselves, but Huaiyu still has a body. What should I do if something comes up?

Jiang Shen stood in the distance and beat the vermilion pillar next to him: "Why is he still here?"

Shuangtian said helplessly: "The minion has already told the truth to Jun Shang, but after hearing this, Jun Shang insisted on entering the city."

"What does this silly boy think?" Jiang Shen shook his head, "have to find yourself unhappy?"

"The minion doesn't know, but the Lord is really angry." Shuangtian said worriedly, "The minion is afraid that he will do something in a hurry...This is still in the first-tier cities."

"Swallow your heart back into your stomach." Jiang Shen said in an angry manner, "I bet a hundred taels of silver, he will never do anything to Li Huaiyu no matter how angry."

It's just that the pain of heartbreaking, he is going to take it hard.

Being hugged a little out of breath, Huaiyu moved and frowned, "I remember."

The people behind let go of her, got up on the soft couch behind her, and led her to stand up straight together.

Huaiyu glanced at him, scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, and wanted to leave after he picked up the skirt.

"I will be harassing for a while." Jiang Xuanjin said quietly, "Please prepare a few guest rooms."

After a step, Li Huaiyu frowned: "If I don't want to prepare?"

A little bit to clean up the broken emotions, Jiang Xuanjin pursed her lips, and closed her cuffs and said: "The day before yesterday, there was a letter from the royal pen in Kyoto, which was delivered to this gentleman. The letter said, as long as Ziyang is willing to borrow it. , There will be an imperial decree, and it will be added to the fief of the three cities of Ziyang."

Behind Ziyang is Danyang. It is self-evident that Ziyang wants to borrow from Taoism.

Huaiyu looked serious: "Your Lord, is this threatening me?"

Jiang Xuanjin nodded: "Yes."

He has a bargaining chip that can threaten her, and the weight is heavy enough, so why not threaten?

Li Huaiyu was silent, his eyes rolled round and round, as if thinking about whether his words were true or false.

Jiang Xuanjin stretched out her hand and handed Li Huailin's autograph letter directly in front of her in her sleeve.

The familiar handwriting, the attack on Danyang between the lines, is far more serious than Jiang Xuanjin's two understatement.

"You don't want the Lord of the three cities?" Huaiyu frowned, "What are the benefits of staying in the first-tier cities for the Lord?"

Looking down indifferently, he said: "I need to explain to the eldest princess when I do something?"

Well, no, Huaiyu shrugged: "I don’t lose this deal, and there is no reason not to agree. But my lord, let me put it first. You may not have a comfortable life here. Don’t be angry and break your promise again."

She stretched out her hand and wrapped it in the fox fur cloak next to her. Jiang Xuanjin didn't look at her anymore and turned to open the door of the room.

The wind came in from the outside, and the soft fox fur rippled. Jiang Xuanjin raised her eyes and faced Lu Jingxing who was standing outside.

For so many years, this person seems to have never changed, he always looks like a fool, standing still, there is a scent of wind and coldness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. At first glance, he can't live in peace of mind. people.

But she was born with such a person, who has been by her side for many years, knows more things than him, and has her heart deeper than him. She has not deceived Lu Jingxing. She has treated him like a day for so many years, but she is so cruel to him that she feels like utter disdain.

"It's an honor to be able to look at you like this." Lu Jingxing's brows loosened, and the closed fan twirled around his fingertips, smiling happily.

The eyes full of jealousy and coldness are the same as the emotions in his heart, very good and very good.

A cloud suddenly appeared on the gloomy heart of the treasurer Lu, and a bright sun fell.

Jiang Xuanjin didn't say a word, and walked towards Jiang Shen with Chengxu Yufeng.

"Isn't looking for a friend to visit the mountains and water?" Standing in front of him, Jiang Xuanjin said coldly, "Is there a half of your friend in this mansion?"

Jiang Shen choked and stood behind the vermilion pillar: "I said... I know that you are in a bad mood, but I am innocent. What can I do?"

If you don't hurt him, who else can you hurt? Jiang Xuanjin said: "You set off tomorrow, go back for me to report to Lu Qing and let him take charge of the main city of Ziyang for the time being."

Holding the pillar and shook his head repeatedly, Jiang Shen's tone was very firm: "I don't!"

"I can't help you." Jiang Xuanjin left behind him indifferently.

Jiang Shen darkened his face, and smirked: "Why is he getting more and more unreasonable?"

Shuangtian behind him whispered: "It makes sense, you should go back."

"Huh?"

"...The minion means that the Lord is indeed very unreasonable!"

With a cold snort, Jiang Shen walked to his house while walking, saying, "I'm not going, this line of cities is so good, there are dry and dry corpses all over the country, so suitable for writing poetry. Lyrics!"

Shuangtian was silent. He felt that the two princes of the Jiang family might have been a little unconscious lately.

Li Huaiyu hugged the chicken soup in the quilt, Lu Jingxing leaned against the bed, playing with a fan and asked her: "What are you going to do?"

Frowning in distress, Huaiyu said: "Now it's not what I want to do, it's what he wants to do."

"He treats this kid as mine, what else can he do?" Lu Jingxing snorted, "Either take revenge on you or take revenge on me."

If that little accident hadn’t happened just now, Huaiyu would agree with this sentence, but now, she shook her head: "I don’t think it looks like it."

I really wanted to retaliate. I just didn't pick her up and let her fall like that. The child couldn't keep it. In his opinion, it was both revenge against her and Lu Jingxing.

But he didn't do that.

"The most important thing right now is the Kyoto side." Huaiyu said, "I told the world about my identity before, just to give Huailin an excuse to let him do something to me, so that I can counterattack justly. But I haven't waited until the movement. I thought it was Huailin who didn't dare to move. Who would have thought that he had been planning, if Jiang Xuanjin hadn't stopped people, he might really have caught us by surprise."

Jiang Xuanjin's blocking has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that Danyang is safe, but the disadvantage is that, no matter what, Huailin will not be able to justify the first-tier cities, and can only do things secretly. Once she resisted, she gave Huailin a reason to call for the title of King Junqin. At that time, even if she stood up and said that she was wrongly killed by the emperor, no one would believe it.

What should I do?

I touched my chin, and I was embarrassed. I saw Qingsi coming in from the outside with a weird expression: "Master, Lord Ziyang has really settled here with us. Chengxu, they moved a lot of things and put them in the guest room." /

Huaiyu curled his lips: "What's the fuss about? If they say they want to live, they will definitely live."

"Yes..." Qing Si pursed her lips, "He lives in a guest room in your yard."

Li Huaiyu: "..."

Turning her head to look at Lu Jingxing, she asked: "Does this person feel that the day is not exciting enough, so he came to me?"

Lu Jingxing nodded in agreement: "Shall we stimulate him again?"

"Okay." Huaiyu said, "Go tell him that you are also pregnant. It must be exciting."

"..."

Lu Jingxing rolled his eyes, and slammed his fan bones on the table gently: "Seriously, he recognizes this child as mine. When are you going to marry me?"

Huaiyu laughed and drank two sips of soup and said: "I won't ruin you, why did you rush to let me ruin? With your skin and family wealth, it is impossible to marry a serious girl, so you have to be my child. Stepfather? He thinks I’m pregnant here with yours, I didn’t say that."

Lu Jingxing's eyes sank: "You have ruined me for five or six years, so embarrassed to say this?"

"Let’s make sense." Putting the soup cup, Huaiyu put his hands on the table on the soft couch, and looked at him seriously, "The friendship of five or six years has really become a husband and wife, don’t you think Are you awkward?"

"Do you feel awkward?"

"Nonsense!" Huaiyu pointed to Qingsi, "I have had a relationship with her for eight or nine years. It stands to reason that the relationship is deeper? But if you become a husband and wife, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

...It seems awkward.

Lu Jingxing lowered his head, thought about it for a while, and then felt something was wrong: "Can I be the same as Qingsi?"

"Why is it different?" Huaiyu stared, "Aren't all the people closest to me?"

Lu Jingxing understands, the **** who killed Qiandao didn't treat him as a man!

He rubbed his forehead with anger, and he whispered: "Fun."

Huaiyu smiled carelessly, and laughed for a while and said: "You have already arranged the shops in the first-tier cities, why don't you go back to the main city of Danyang first? Xu Xian and the others don’t know what’s going on there. You could handle one or two in the past."

Lu Jingxing squinted: "Want to drive me away?"

"Look at what you said, where can I catch you." Huaiyu waved his hand, "It's just that there is nothing wrong with the first-tier cities. Instead of staying here with me, you might as well do something else."

Dozens of Lu Jis landed in the first-tier cities and solved the dilemma of extremely high prices in the city with affordable goods. Although they offended many merchants, they also earned the unanimous support of the people. Now that the three words "Lu Jingxing" are mentioned again, few people would say that he is "Lang Yu", and most people would say that he is a very bold and conscientious businessman.

A few days ago, a matchmaker came to him and told him that the girl of his family yearned for him, and she didn't want to eat or drink. It was already dead. Lu Jingxing went, and came back to tell her that the women are indeed liars, so the girl's violent attack on him, saying that the hungry tiger came down the mountain is not an exaggeration.

Huaiyu felt that there should be someone beside Lu Jingxing. Whether it's a hungry tiger or someone else, you can't call her a "female leopard" to keep him off. Marriage is impossible. Just in the name of Wu and their faces, she has to work hard to clean it up, and it is impossible to drag Lu Jingxing into the quagmire.

Aware of her thoughts, Lu Jingxing lowered his eyes.

After a long while, he said: "I was joking with you, getting married is serious, I didn't plan to come with you. The shop in the first-tier city just made a profit, and I can't leave for the time being."

"Huh?" Huaiyu raised his eyebrows, "I have earned more than a month of Snow Silver, and I'm just making a profit?"

"You are not a businessman, what do you know?" The fan touched her forehead and Lu Jingxing said, "I have my own measures."

This person looks carefree, but he is actually very careful, and he doesn't want to delay him. The closer he gets, the farther she will go. She was right. Five or six years of friendship, it's not cost-effective to smash on this.

Since this is the case, he should take a step back.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Jingxing said at the beginning: "You only care about Jiang Xuanjin, but you neglect Changlin Jun. I have settled the person, and you can chat with him when you have time."

"Okay." Huaiyu nodded, looking at his back walking away thoughtfully.

Jiang Xuanjin went to the streets of first-tier cities, where he heard people say countless times in the memorials, and wanted to come and see it early in the morning. There was a mess in his heart, and he couldn't sit still in the room, so he simply came out and walked around.

There are few people on the streets of the main city, but they are not deserted. Many newly opened shops are filled with people in rags. Although the people passing by are sad, they are not desperate.

Li Huaiyu saved this place, and it took just two months to bring this tier city to life.

Passing by the tea shop, he sat down and listened to people talking. There were a few people beside him. Some praised Wu, some praised Chijin, and even praised Lu Jingxing and Xu Chu brewing. But in the end, he didn't listen. People praised the princess Danyang.

These people don't seem to realize who is saving this dry city.

"Princess...Princess?" A girl who had been wandering for a long time came forward bravely, blushing and stuffed him with a soup woman, "Your face is cold and white, warm it up."

After the stuffing, he ran, hid in the alley, and then stretched out his head to look at him.

Jiang Xuanjin frowned, put Po Tang back on the table, took the handkerchief out, and wiped her fingers clean one by one. She didn't have any intentions to appreciate her, and she continued to move forward.

Chengxu glanced at the girl sympathetically. There are many brave men in this world, but few people know that their masters are obsessed with cleanliness, and the masters will naturally not appreciate the things they start with so much.

What's more, my master's face is definitely not white.

Li Huailin's face was ugly when the papers from various localities asking for tax reduction were handed over to Kyoto. Everyone else was subdued by Jun Ziyang and he didn't say anything, but what happened to Jun Pingling?

The Lord Pingling is now Li Shan’s concubine, Li Fangwu. Although he has not been loved by Li Shan since he was a child, he has developed a cowardly and cowardly temper, but at any rate he is a brother to him and does not help him. Just go to help Jiang Xuanjin instead?

Li Huailin sneered and immediately ordered Li Fangwu to report to Beijing.

Before entering Beijing to report on duty every year, it’s not a big event, but Li Fangwu was scared. Just after the memorial, the emperor didn’t call anyone else. How could he call him first? Is it because he wants to reduce too much, so the emperor intends to teach him a lesson, by the way?

Holding the imperial edict for two days, Li Fangwu pretended to be sick and hid in the Pingling Monarch's mansion, not daring to move.

As for Zheng Liushen Wuzhu, a young man with red lips and white teeth came at the door.

"In Xiajiang Yan, I met Mr. Pingling."

Li Fangwu looked at him for a long time, and then he suddenly said, "The young master of the Jiang family, the former Tingwei Mansion Left Supervisor, can you give me any advice?"

Jiang Yan arched his hands: "Mr Ziyang knew that Lord Pingling would be in trouble, and he was here to relieve him."

Jiang Xuanjin knew about it a long time ago? Li Fangwu was stunned, and immediately asked: "What did you say?"

"The Lord said that there are old cases in Pingling that have not been resolved. This is the knot of your majesty's heart. Coupled with the tax reduction, you will definitely take the knife on Pingling. Once you go to Kyoto, you may not be able to come back. "

"..." Li Fangwu sighed just like what he was worried about. Father has committed too many sins. Since he took over as Lord Pingling, he has not slept well, for fear that those who were killed by his father would come to him in a dream to settle accounts.

Said that it was his father's debts, but when the father was there, he didn't regard him as his own son. How innocent is he, and he has to bear his sins?

"But I have received the decree, how can I not go to Kyoto?" Li Fangwu said embarrassingly, "If your majesty says I resist the decree, I can't afford it."

"Your Majesty can't afford it, isn't there still Ziyang Jun behind?" Jiang Yan said, "You can get sick for a few months, and the rest will be handed over to your Majesty, so you won't be charged with it. "

Li Fangwu wondered: "Why Lord Ziyang help me?"

"The ruler should understand the truth about the death of lips and teeth." Jiang Yan smiled, "Everyone is an adjacent fief, and it is right for Ziyang Jun to help you."

Really? Li Fangwu was skeptical.

In the next few days, he really kept pretending to be sick, waiting tremblingly for the reaction from Kyoto. As a result, for the past five consecutive days, there were no documents or memorials in Kyoto. He pretended to be sick and lived very comfortably, and slowly he believed Jiang Yan's words.

Someone reminded him: "My lord, it will be your father's death in three days. According to the rules of previous years, you are going to go to Beijing and worship the ancestral temple."

"I won't go this year." Li Fangwu said, "I just said that I can't afford to be ill. I am already on the line of life and death. I believe your Majesty will not blame it."
