first minister

Chapter 124
After a long time, old Mr. Su withdrew his gaze, no longer concealed his admiration, nodded and smiled, "If you were a descendant of my Su family, I could completely let go and enjoy my life."

It's not easy, I can call you grandpa directly.
He muttered something in his heart, and said: "If not, I have admired Miss Su for a long time."

The Patriarch of the Su family stared at him, disregarding the fact that his father, whom he had always respected and respected, was by his side, and couldn't help but scold, "What are you thinking, kid!"

Miss Su and I are both talented and beautiful, and we are a perfect match. It's your turn. Oh, father-in-law, it's okay.

Speaking of the apple of his eye in the Su family, Mr. Su also became less talkative, "When you win the top one, it's not impossible to consider this matter."

Xia Jingyun pursed his lips, "What else is there to think about, you have bet so much with me, isn't it unkind to marry Yanyan to someone else?"

The Patriarch of the Su family's heart suddenly became angry, you really know each other very well, you are close enough!

It's not too much, it's hot, I really want to nod, don't you have to use your hands and mouth, and make an inch of it.
Thinking of those possible scenes, the Patriarch of the Su family suddenly felt that Xia Jingyun, who was a bit pleasing to the eye at first, immediately became hideous.

Old Mr. Su naturally wouldn't be as shallow as this unworthy son, but said indifferently: "She doesn't have to marry."

Xia Jingyun:.
Ginger is still old and hot, and the skin is still old and thick!

"Okay, let's not talk about Yan Yan."

Old Mr. Su ordered the table, and brought the topic back, "Everyone is here today, let's talk about something serious. When you come to Beijing this time, the Su family will give you some greeting gifts and help pass them on to Concubine De."

Xia Jingyun also had no choice but to put away his longing for the love of his children and talk about things seriously.

And after talking like this, he also realized that the self-satisfied words he said just now were actually nothing special in front of these two old foxes who had been immersed in officialdom for many years, but his age added points to him.

There are still many ways and secrets in this officialdom.

On the mountainside, a secret door slowly opened, and the head of the Su family led Xia Jingyun and old owner Zhao out of it.

Xia Jingyun was amazed, as expected of a big family, even a secret room was built so meticulously, if under extreme circumstances, someone discovered from the tombstone that they had entered the secret passage, it would be impossible to sit back and wait.

The background is really silently reflected in these aspects.

In fact, the same is true of the noble family behind Concubine Shu.

Speaking of it, my so-called six wins and six losses theory, and the original ten wins and ten losses theory, are nothing more than deliberate boldness, but fortunately, the audience who listened to this was not ordinary people, and both achieved the desired effect.

The courtyard of the big house appeared in front of him, and the Patriarch of the Su family looked at the old owner Zhao, with all the courtesy, "Old owner, why don't you go down and have some tea?"

Xia Jingyun:.
Father-in-law, you are not being kind, I just miss your daughter, how can you still be angry?

Old Master Zhao naturally understood the joints, he chuckled, "No, I'll accompany Xiaoyou Xia for a walk, you can do your own work."

"The junior will leave."

After speaking, the Patriarch of the Su family took a complicated look at Xia Jingyun, cupped his hands, turned and left.

Old Master Zhao smiled, "Hehe, don't be angry, he's already feeling bad, and you're so stinky and shameless coveting the jewel in the palm of his hand, it's considered good self-restraint not to scold you."

Xia Jingyun nodded, with a serious face, "That is, why would I be angry with my father-in-law?"

The old master Zhao was stunned, and immediately shook his head, deciding not to entangle with this brave and thick-skinned guy any more about men and women, and changed the subject, "How did you guess that thing?"

Xia Jingyun said: "It's not complicated. The Patriarch of the Su family woke up at a very strange timing and his motives are also very weird. Given his own seniority, it is difficult to look at the struggle between the brothers and his daughter's family from the perspective of the whole family. So I wondered if there was an extra external force that prompted him to make this decision. Today he did not talk at home, but took me to climb the mountain. I am basically sure."

Old Master Zhao nodded, "Brother Bo Yuan did arrange this matter behind his back. He has another mysterious eyeliner in the clan, and I don't know his identity. On the day that Wei Wei was poisoned, I had already received the news, and then detoxified him, and secretly arranged this matter. I was also called by him to suppress the place."

He said softly: "I agree with his approach. The interior of a big family like the Su family is really too dirty and unbearable. Next, the entire Su family will also undergo a major cleansing to prepare for the next turmoil. But this has nothing to do with you."

"Why doesn't it matter much, I'm the son-in-law of the Su family now."

The old master Zhao rolled his eyes, "You child, why can't you get around it!"

Xia Jingyun chuckled and lowered his voice, "Old owner, tell me about our Majesty?"

The old owner Zhao looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "When your Majesty was young, when he traveled around the rivers and mountains, he still saw people's livelihood sufferings, was quite dissatisfied with the government, and was full of ambitions. Therefore, after he became the throne, he made great efforts to govern, and there was a hint of revival. But."

He sighed, "I have lived in the imperial city for a long time, and I have been blessed and blessed for a long time. I only see people who sing praises and flatter me, so I gradually forget the appearance of a common man in the world, and become that single husband who indulges in pleasure and indulges in his dream of a prosperous age."

He smiled self-deprecatingly, "You don't think Brother Bo Yuan and I are really tired, so we go back to the mountains and forests?"

Xia Jingyun was terrified, and instantly understood something better.

"Okay, Brother Bo Yuan originally wanted to tell you these words, but after all he is older than me and lazy, so I have to tell you."

Master Zhao patted him on the shoulder, "Go back, you've gained a lot from this trip."

Xia Jingyun turned to look at him, smiled and rubbed his hands together, "The old owner hasn't bet yet!"

The old master Zhao pointed at him, "You, you are really thick-skinned!"

Xia Jingyun was relentless, his eyes burning.

Old owner Zhao said helplessly: "Yanyan girl has learned half of my skills, and the rest is the ability to collect information. You have a suitable person at hand, throw it to me, and I will teach you for a year. I will keep you on top of intelligence and information, so that you will not fall behind other families. I really don't want to get too involved in other things."

Xia Jingyun was overjoyed, "Thank you, old owner. Come on, old owner, I will support you, don't fall when you walk."

"The old man has walked more mountain roads than you!"

"That's different. What if you were so happy and excited when you saw such a good junior like me today, and you suddenly missed it?"

"Aren't you a little too skinny?"

"In front of you, I'm just a child, so there's nothing to pretend."

Slowly walking down the mountain, Xia Jingyun sent the old village owner Zhao back to his residence. Just as he sat down, Bai Yunbian came up curiously, and was about to speak, when he heard the respectful greeting from the clan guards outside the courtyard, "Miss!"

Bai Yunbian glanced at him resentfully, silently punched him on the shoulder, and sat aside.

I don't know if it's because Youyuan didn't satisfy his curiosity, or because Su Yanyan ran to Xia Jingyun's place every three days before he could answer and ignore him.

Su Yanyan walked in and saw Xia Jingyun, he was slightly relieved, and his expression returned to calm, "Master Xia and my father are talking well today?"

Xia Jingyun nodded, but he didn't dare to call his father-in-law in front of Su Yanyan, "Your father is elegant and refined, making people feel like a spring breeze, how could we not talk well."

Bai Yun stood on the sidelines and refused to leave. Su Yanyan couldn't ask what was going on, so he had to talk about another matter, "Uncle Yuan Shang will arrive tomorrow, and it will not be convenient for the clan to hold a banquet for him. Mr. Xia and Mr. Bai have a deep friendship with Uncle Yuan Shang. Can you welcome me for me?"

Xia Jingyun naturally nodded in agreement.

There was another thought in his mind, if Su Yuanshang became a commoner, he would really like to recommend such a capable minister with outstanding talent, ability and blood to his sister.

After a meal of wine, leave after drinking, the time is just right.

As for Su Yanyan doing this, it is very likely that he also guessed some possibilities and was doing favors.

Xia Jingyun will not only think that he is smart, but treat others as fools.

He asked, "Miss Su, can I ask a question?"

"Did Mr. Xia want to ask how we rescued him?"

Xia Jingyun nodded, not surprised by Su Yanyan's intelligence.

"It's very simple. We summoned people to Luo's house, made compensation, and asked them to withdraw the lawsuit. Many things were not investigated by the people, and the county magistrate Zigui was cunning. Knowing that this matter has not yet been settled, the file has not been officially filed. Therefore, from a procedural point of view, Uncle Yuan Shang's crime is much lighter. Then, after finding some connections, according to the law of Da Xia, only the responsibility for malfeasance was investigated, and he was dismissed from office."

After she finished speaking, she laughed at herself, "In fact, we also know that this kind of thing is not a kind of justice, and it is even a bit illegal, but"

Xia Jingyun said: "I'm not some stupid young man with deep idealistic beliefs. The Su family has done much more warmth and restraint than the rest of the rich and powerful families."

Su Yanyan smiled gently, his eyebrows rose and fell like distant mountains, and his eyes shone like stars, "Young Master Xia always makes people feel so comfortable when he speaks."

"Miss Su, shall we have a banquet in this courtyard tomorrow?"

Bai Yunbian couldn't understand this pair of "dogs and men" flirting in front of him, and the key point was not to take him, so he interrupted.

Of course, Su Yanyan was able to hide the slight regret in his heart very well, nodded and said: "Well, tomorrow, I just need to order the guards outside, and I will bring my own food and drinks."

Bai Yunbian nodded, "Okay, we understand, Miss Su doesn't need to worry, please go back."

Xia Jingyun:? ? ?
Su Yanyan:? ? ?

Xia Jingyun immediately turned his clever brain, "Alright, Mr. Bai needs to rest, I'll send Miss Su off."

Su Yanyan hesitated for a moment, "Thank you, Mr. Xia."

Bai Yunbian:? ? ?

Seeing the well-matched pair leaving side by side, Bai Yunbian had one thought in his mind: Mistake.
-
In the tomb on the top of the mountain, in the yard, old master Zhao and Mr. Su, who had been going back and forth, sat facing each other.

An old woman who hadn't shown up before poured tea silently for them.

The old master Zhao looked at the old Mr. Su's face that was no longer as vigorous as before, and said seriously: "Brother Bo Yuan, is this really the gamble?"

"It's okay not to gamble."

"Why."

Mr. Su looked at the table calmly, "I lost two sons."

The old woman at the side got up and left slowly.

The old master Zhao looked at her back, only to find that there was an extra incense burner outside the house.

The green smoke curled up, like people's inexhaustible grief.
