The world's ambitions are unparalleled

Chapter 4 Birch Candle Shadow Reddish Jade Soft (1)
Jinse came back after a disastrous defeat, greatly injured.

What made her even more terrified was that on the second day, there were new rumors that she, Miss Song, knew that King Ning was going to retire, so she immediately went to the door brazenly and begged King Ning for a long time , I don't know what method was used, but Ning Wang really softened his heart and withdrew his intention to withdraw the engagement.

Jin Se was terrified, not because she was afraid of being told, but because she was afraid of being heard by her father. For her, I don't know what kind of catastrophe it would be!So Jinse made a decisive decision and decided to run away before his father had time to pursue it!
She had just packed her luggage when the two wives sent by Su Li showed up immediately and told her a lot of allusions about women's virtues and behaviors. You can be justifiable, so he said: "I'm going to visit my god-grandmother, there are many rules in your Prince Ning's house, which one prevents people from being filial and righteous?" Packing the burden, he left the Hou Mansion with Luhe.

The godmother she is going to seek refuge with is the old lady of Beitang in the University Scholars Mansion.Beitang Wensong, a scholar of the dynasty, had a good personal relationship with Song Jingtao. As long as Jinse can remember, his father has called the old lady of Beitang as his godmother, and the old lady of Beitang also likes the two sisters, Jinyan and Jinse, so in the In front of her, Jinse has always been unscrupulous.

I hadn't seen her for a few months, but the old lady of Beitang was in good spirits, and her complexion seemed even stronger than before. At this moment, she was sitting under the shade of flowers, watching with a smile on several young great-grandchildren playing hide-and-seek in the garden.

"Grandmother!" Jinse approached her lightly from behind, and called out in a strong voice.

The old lady of Beitang was startled, and when she looked back, she couldn't laugh or cry: "You girl, can you scare me into being your godmother?"

Jinse stepped forward and hugged the old lady, and said coquettishly: "How dare I scare the dry grandma? The dry grandma lives a hundred years old, if I really scare you, the ecstatic little ghost will definitely come to me, Don't allow me to stay with my god-grandmother again, I will be sad to death!"

The old lady of Beitang lightly tapped her forehead: "You! No matter how old you are, this small mouth will never be able to restrain your nonsense!" Seeing that Jinse's forehead was dripping with sweat, she said: "It's so big! It's hot weather, why do you want to see your godmother?"

"I miss you!" Jinse raised her face and smiled like a flower, "I even packed my luggage, so I want to spend a few days with grandma!"

"It's so good! It's so good!" The old lady of Beitang immediately rejoiced, "You go down to settle down first, and have dinner with grandma in the evening."

"it is good!"

As a child, she and Jin Yan often came to this University Scholars Mansion for a short stay, so there is a small courtyard for them all year round, and Jin Se always lives there every time she comes over.

Jinse took Lvhe straight to the small courtyard, and when passing by the residence of the third young master Beitang, she suddenly heard the sound of a woman singing, she suddenly became interested, and turned to enter the main room. A house with beautiful sounds.

In the spacious and bright room, as far as the eye can see, there are more than a dozen young and beautiful women, all dressed in neon dresses and dancing clothes, graceful and swaying, dancing to the song of the singer.

At the top of the room, Beitang Lin sat there frowning, looking at the group of charming women with displeasure.

Jin Se was stunned, before she recovered, Bei Tanglin suddenly dropped the teacup in her hand: "Get all of them down! None of them are good!"

Accompanied by the shouting, all the women lowered their heads and scattered in all directions.Jinse fell into Beitanglin's line of sight unobstructed, and for a moment he frowned even tighter: "Song Jinse, why are you here?"

Jinse smiled and stepped forward, sat down beside him, asked the maid for a cup of tea, then opened her eyes and asked him: "Who has such a big appetite? I think these girls are very good, why are you still Not satisfied?"

Bei Tanglin glared at her: "What nonsense?"

Jinse plucked the broken hair on her forehead, and said casually: "You just entered the court, didn't the group of girls just prepare to please some high-ranking person? I don't know something, Uncle Beitang is upright, How can you raise a son like you when you are an upright official!"

Beitang laughed back angrily: "Then may I ask Second Miss Song why you are here today? Didn't you come to seek refuge to avoid punishment? Since you are living under someone else's fence, how come you don't even know the word 'low voice'?"

Jinse raised the corners of her mouth, and smiled: "The big deal is that we are each other, I don't say you are. Who are these girls for?"

Beitang Linlan sighed lazily, and hid his treachery in his smile: "I'm afraid you will be unhappy if you say it. It's the King of Qin."

Jinse was really unhappy.

"You also know that the king of Qin is unrestrained by nature. What kind of woman has I never seen before? How can I get such a vulgar fan? By the way, at least he has been your brother-in-law before. You should know what kind of woman he likes." Girl, come on, tell Third Brother."

Jinse snorted coldly, and said with a smile: "Looking like the third brother, with a handsome appearance and turned into red makeup, King Qin will definitely like it very much!"

Bei Tanglin spat heavily, and Jin Se stood up and left with a cold face.

A few days later, Bei Tanglin finally picked out a few people he was more satisfied with, and invited famous dancers back to Beijing to choreograph dances for them, trying to make sure that when Su Mo was invited to come as a guest, he would return with full enjoyment.

Facts have proved that Su Mo was having a good time when the faces of the stunning women dancing hard suddenly turned into a horrifying green in the flickering candlelight, at least he smiled happily: "Three This generous gift prepared by the young master is really unique."

Bei Tanglin's face almost became the same color as those dancers who were staring at each other in shock, but he still held his breath and got up slowly and said, "My lord, please wait a moment."

Su Mo squeezed the wine glass, slightly raised his eyebrows, and signaled him to take it easy.

Before Beitang left the banquet hall, he went straight to the small courtyard where Jinse lived.

When he rushed into the small courtyard, Lvhe who was sitting under the eaves could smell his anger from afar, stood up and stopped him tepidly twice, then dodged out of the way with great sense of time.

Beitanglin pushed open Jinse's door with a "bang", strode in, and gritted his teeth: "Song Jinse!"

Jinse was fiddling with something in front of the dressing table, when she heard the sound, she raised her face to look at Bei Tanglin, with an innocent expression on her face: "What's the matter?"

Bei Tanglin looked at the same green face in front of him, almost couldn't lift his breath, stretched out his hand to support the door frame next to him, just now he was able to stabilize his body, but this time, he couldn't even speak smoothly: " you you you……"

Jinse looked back at the mirror again, wondering: "What's wrong? Don't you think it looks good? This was the most popular green face makeup in the court of the Xu Kingdom a hundred years ago. It is said that the monarch at that time loved women dressed like this. I managed to I asked someone to search around to find this kind of secret gouache, and I even asked someone to send a few boxes to your dancers, I really can’t bear to think about it—”

"Song Jinse!" Bei Tanglin finally came to his senses and roared again.

"Come on!" Jinse hurriedly picked up the silk, wiped off the unknown makeup on her face indiscriminately, revealing her white and delicate face, and said angrily, "Since you don't like it, I won't hinder you." My eyes, when I turn back, I will go to your dancers to get the gouache back, so that you won't think that I am secretly playing tricks on them."

Beitang was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged, and his clenched hand kept making very slight noises.

However, Jinse seemed to suddenly realize: "Could it be...the King of Qin has already seen the green makeup, and because he didn't like it, he blamed you?"

Bei Tanglin finally couldn't take it anymore: "Come here, tie her up for me, and use it to plead guilty to King Qin!"

"Grandmother, help!" Jinse yelled immediately and was about to run away, but the next moment, she was caught by the furious Bei Tanglin, unable to move.

The courtyards where the two lived were close to each other. Before Jinse could wait for the old lady of Beitang to come to save her life, she had already been sent to the previous banquet hall.

Bei Tanglin personally restrained her and pushed her into the hall door.

Jinse was dissatisfied with his excessive force, and stared back at him, but saw that he was already looking forward in a little surprise, and then turned around to look, her body also froze.

The person at the VIP seat was reclining on the couch, stretching out his hand to support the green face of the dancer in front of him, looking eye to eye and nose to nose, almost touching his lips to the dancer!In the end, probably sensing the movement coming from the door, he tilted his head slightly, his thin lips brushed across the dancer girl's profile, raised his handsome eyebrows and looked at Jinse and Beitanglin, with a charming smile: "This Green face makeup is really interesting and beautiful."

Jinse's hands were bound, but she had no choice but to bow her body and press her knees against her stomach that was overwhelmed.

Only then did Su Mo let go of the dancer in front of him, and glanced at her with a half-smile: "It turns out that Jinse is here too. What did she do, why was she tied up?"

Hearing this, Jinse turned her eyes to look at the stunned Beitanglin, and puffed up her cheeks: "Third brother, tell me, what did I do?"

Bei Tanglin came back to his senses, dumbfounded, but lowered his head, and untied Jinse from the bondage on his body.

Jinse rubbed her arm that was sorely strangled, and walked forward. She didn't stop until she was in front of Su Mo, and said with a light smile: "Brother-in-law really has read all the beauties in the world and is well-informed. Green face makeup, not everyone can appreciate it!"

Beitanglin glared at her fiercely, Jinse pretended not to see it, and suddenly said: "Just yesterday, I learned another old fashioned makeup look, brother-in-law, would you be interested in giving me some advice?"

Su Mo put down the wine glass in his hand, smiled lightly and said, "Why not?"

"Lu He, bring someone in!"

When Lv He led two bloated and huge women into the hall, Bei Tang Lin almost wanted to strangle Jin Se to death immediately.Su Mo, on the other hand, always had a smile on his face, and never lost his composure in the slightest.

The two women are each heavily made up, and their original faces can hardly be seen clearly, but what is even more weird is that their faces are divided into two, and the makeup on both sides is different, which is really wonderful.

Jin Se was extremely satisfied and looked at her masterpiece before asking Su Mo, "What do you think of this pair of half-face makeup, brother-in-law?"

Su Mo put down the wine glass in his hand, and smiled solemnly: "This half-face makeup was popular in Zhao State more than 300 years ago. At that time, King Zhao only loved plump women, and later this preference gradually affected the people. After so long For many years, you have dressed them up, but they still have the charm of the past."

"So, brother-in-law can also appreciate this kind of beauty?" Jinse turned her head to look at him.

Su Mo glanced at her, smiled noncommittally.

Jin Se immediately became happy: "Lu He, since brother-in-law likes it, we will dedicate Qingqing and Yingying to brother-in-law, how about it?"

Lu He looked at Su Mo who was always smiling like water, sipped her lips, and whispered: "Miss, we have to ask Qingqing and Yingying, right?"

"Oh." Jin Se looked at the two women with a pair of half-face makeup as if suddenly enlightened, and said with a smile, "Qingqing Yingying, are you willing to serve the King of Qin?"

Qingqing and Yingying both knelt down and said softly: "I am willing."

Jinse secretly glanced at Su Mo, but seeing that his expression remained unchanged, she said, "In this case, brother-in-law, you must treat Qingqing and Yingying kindly. Although I have only known them for only two days, they are like old friends at the first sight. From now on, we I will definitely go to your house to visit them."

"Okay." Su Mo looked at her, and said the word with a faint smile.

Jinse frowned slightly, met his gaze, then looked away, and looked at Beitanglin: "You can only pick one side between Qingqingyingying and the third brother's dancer, can brother-in-law agree?"

Beitang's face turned dark immediately, but he could only restrain himself from saying a word.

"Since I promised you, I will naturally choose Qingqing Yingying." Su Mo lowered his head and smiled, rubbing his fingers.

"Thank you brother-in-law!" Jinse smiled, "Then I won't disturb brother-in-law Yaxing, and I will leave first."

When passing by Beitanglin's side, Jinse clearly heard the sound of his knuckles moving, hurriedly pulled on Luhe, and fled away as if flying.

Su Mo looked at the back of her running fast, still just smiled faintly, and looked away.

"Miss!" Running to the garden, Lv He finally couldn't help calling Jinse out of breath, and said worriedly: "Let's do this, Second Lord...Will King Qin really not blame him?"

Jinse was also tired from running, and felt the scorching heat was unbearable, but she didn't bring a round fan, she just fanned it randomly with a silk cloth. Hearing this, she chuckled lightly: "I've already done everything, you're only afraid now, I'm afraid it's too late !"

Unexpectedly, she didn't hear the rebuttal. When Jinse looked at her, she saw that she was looking at the position behind her, her cheeks were a little strangely red.Jinse turned her head and saw Song Heng approaching slowly, her heart suddenly became clear.

In such a hot weather, he walked under the scorching sun, and he was as graceful and luxurious as a fairy.It's even more rare that this fairy even brought Jinse's favorite things.

There are thousands of kinds of snacks in Beijing, but Jinse is very unpromising, and her favorite is only candied haws.

Although she likes it, when Jinse took the candied haws in his hand, she was still wary: "You came to see me on purpose?"

Song Heng shook his head.

really!Jin Se frowned, handed the candied haws to Lu He, and said, "That's why Daddy asked you to catch me back?"

Song Heng still shook his head.

Jinse immediately looked back at the candied haws that had already been eaten by Lu He, and snatched them back without hesitation.Before he had time to put it in his mouth, Song Heng on the opposite side gestured - Master Hou asked me to pick you up.

Jinse's face darkened immediately, and he stuffed the candied haws to Luhe again, and couldn't help muttering: "I can't speak, and I still pick words like this!"

Song Heng smiled slightly, turned sideways and made a "please" gesture to Jinse.

Jinse looked at him with a bitter face, dragged his sleeves and shook like a baby: "Song Heng, why don't you just say you didn't see me? Daddy hasn't calmed down yet. If I go back, I will definitely be beaten. I think You are like an elder brother, do you have the heart to see me being beaten?"

Song Heng shook his head lightly - Master Hou was not angry.

"Liar!" Jinse said, "Daddy is the most stingy, how can he not be angry when he hears the rumors outside?"

Just as Song Heng was about to say something, Jinse's body suddenly froze, looking at Song Heng's back who was motionless—why did the person over there who was being gradually approached by the steward of the Beitang Mansion look so familiar?
Zuli!When Jinse finally saw the figure clearly, she was already astonished for no time.

How could he come here?
Su Li, who was gradually approaching, also saw her, his eyes flicked slightly over Song Heng, and then paused for a moment on the hand she was holding Song Heng, his eyes became slightly colder.

For a moment, Jinse only thought about how he would appear, and forgot to let go of Song Heng, let alone noticing the direction she came from earlier, Beitang Linzheng respectfully sent Su Mo out.

It wasn't until Bei Tanglin's slightly flustered voice, "The minister sees King Ning", that Jin Se suddenly came back to his senses. He looked at Su Li with stern eyebrows, then at Su Mo with an unruly smile, and then at Bei Tang who looked rather embarrassed. Tang Lin suddenly understood something - it must be that Bei Tanglin made an appointment with the two of them separately, but something went wrong in the middle, Su Li might have come early, and they bumped into each other!
It's really lively now.Jinse thought to herself.

Su Mo looked at Su Li, and suddenly smiled amusedly: "It turns out that the third son has an appointment with the third brother, but why is the third brother late?"

Su Li lightly pursed the corners of his lips: "Did the second brother arrive early?"

Su Mo covered his lips, coughed slightly, and said with a light smile, "Probably so."

Beitang Lin was overwhelmed with horror, and suddenly he was not so scared, he smiled bravely and said: "It's the lower officials who are stupid and misremembered the time, please forgive me, both princes."

Probably because he was familiar with these situations, Su Mo lightly patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter, don't worry about it."

Beitang immediately expressed his thanks as if he had received an amnesty.

Seeing that a turmoil was about to be dissipated by Su Mo, Jinse felt very regretful. Before she had time to express her feelings, she suddenly noticed a non-negligible gaze on her, and she was startled. Sure enough, it was Zuli.

Since the last divorce incident, for some reason, Jinse always felt that she had a slight fear of this person, and she always felt that she might step into the trap he quietly set up again at some point.

Su Li finally spoke: "I don't know why Second Miss Song is here?"

Jinse unconsciously pulled Song Heng's sleeves tighter, and then said with a smile: "I've only come here to stay for two days, and now I have to go back."

There was a slight coldness in Su Li's eyes, and he said with a faint smile: "Is that so? I haven't seen you for a few days. I wonder how the rules have been learned?"

"Very good, very good." Jinse replied, "The two nuns taught really well."

Only then did Su Li look at Song Heng again: "Who is this?"

Jinse finally realized that she was still clutching Song Heng's sleeve, smiled a little awkwardly, let go of him, and was about to introduce him, but saw Song Heng's gaze always flying towards Su Mo's direction from time to time, and her heart suddenly changed He lost his doubts, but still smiled at Su Li, "This is Song Heng, the teacher of me and my younger brother."

Hearing this, Song Hengcai finally turned his attention to Su Li formally, and saluted lightly.

Seeing Su Li's brows frowning slightly, Jinse hurriedly said: "My Mr. Song can't speak, please forgive me, my lord."

Su Mo smiled lightly: "Mr. Teacher who can't speak?"

Su Li then said again: "I don't know where Mr. Song is from?"

Song Heng made two hand gestures lightly, and Jinse explained: "He is a praying man."

Hearing this, Su Mo stepped forward, cupped his hands towards Song Heng, and said with a smile: "Qilin is a good place for outstanding people, and it's no wonder that there are such strange people as Mr. Song. If there is a chance in the future, Hope to have a drink with Mr. Song.”

Song Heng looked at him with a calm expression.

Jinse looked at the two of them with suspicion.

Back in the carriage of Marquis Anding's mansion, Jinse finally couldn't help asking Song Heng: "You knew Su Mo before, right?"

Song Heng shook his head lightly.

Jinse couldn't believe it, she looked at him with her chin propped up: "Song Heng, you must have hidden secrets in your heart!"

Song Heng raised his eyelids, gave her a slightly reproachful look, and then lightly gestured——

Although I don't recognize him, I can see that he must not be a good person.You, stay away from him.

Jinse retracted her body silently, and said after a while: "I never thought of getting close to him. Don't think that everything you say is right."

Jinse thought that she would be reprimanded after returning home, but Song Jingtao just gave her a casual look and said, "The wedding is coming soon, so don't go out casually again."
