Rebirth of a Star General Chapter 198: Enter the palace
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the rebirth actress!
It's late at night.
The lights in the yard have been turned off, only a shining lantern is on at the door, like a firefly perching on a leaf, which will fly away in the next moment.
Ying Xiang carried the lantern to greet him, and said: "Four sons."
Chu Zhao looked up at her, "It's not that you don't have to wait for me."
"The maidservant can't sleep," Ying Xiang said softly, "Put the lantern out and have a look. It happened to hit him."
Chu Zhao didn't speak, and entered the room, "You can go out."
Ying Xiang leaned back, exited the house, and closed the door.
Chu Zhao sat at the table, pressing his forehead. Just now at Xu's house, Xu Jingfu's words came to my ears again.
"Zilan, I'm just such a daughter. You can't bully Ping Ting in the future. If Ping Ting goes home to sue me, even if it's your teacher, I can't spare you."
Xu Pingting curled her lips, "Why would Brother Zilan bully me? But Brother Zilan looks so good-looking. There are not a few women in Shuojing who like him. After I became Brother Zilan’s wife, if there were any The short-eyed vixen threw on Brother Zilan," she raised her eyebrows, her voice raised, "I must take their skin off!"
"A girl's house, Chengri shouted and screamed, what did it look like." Xu Jingfu said so, but he didn't mean to stop Xu Pingting.
The seemingly affectionate images of the father and daughter filled his mind, and he couldn't help bending down, his stomach was full of nausea, and he retched several times.
Before going to Xu's house today, Chu Zhao let Ying Xiang stay in the house. In fact, after returning to Shuojing, he kept Ying Xiang in the Chu Mansion, and if nothing else, he should not go out. Now that Xu Pingting and his marriage are almost over the road, Ying Xiang will be even more dangerous.
When he was a teenager, he worshipped Xu Jingfu as a teacher. For Xu Jingfu's blessing, Mrs. Chu no longer dared to act blatantly on him as before. Xu Jingfu treated him well, and for a child, he gave Chu Zhao a full face. Because of the title of Xu Jingfu's student, he was taught a lot of convenience in interacting with others. As Xu Jingfu's daughter, Xu Pingting was about the same age as him. At the beginning, Chu Zhao did not dislike her so much.
Xu Pingting, as a teenager, was already the jewel in the Xu family's palm. He wanted the wind and the wind but the rain and the rain. Apart from being a little arrogant, she was actually very good to Chu Zhao. She always followed Chu Zhao with her tail, taking a mouthful of "Brother Zilan". Sometimes she would tell Chu Zhao: "Pingting will marry Zilan brother, Zilan will be Pingting alone."
He just took it as a joke until Chu Zhao was fourteen years old.
Chu Linfeng is a well-known beautiful man from Xiao Zhongwu's generation. Even if he doesn't become Shi Jinbo, he can deceive many girls with a good skin. Chu Zhao's mother, Ye Runmei, also gave birth to a beautiful and beautiful appearance. Chu Zhao was based on the strengths of the couple. At the age of fourteen, in terms of appearance, he was as famous as the two brothers of the Xiao family. And his personality is more gentle and considerate, and very good at taking care of others, there are many girls secretly casting their hearts.
Among them is a lady with the surname Qian, who has a passionate temperament and a pair of phoenix eyes that is particularly charming. Unlike the other shy girls in Shuojing City, she immediately expressed her heart to Chu Zhao after meeting a few times. Of course Chu Zhao refused, but this girl didn't give up. She didn't entangle her, she just sent things to the Chu family in two days. Occasionally encountered in the city of Shuojing, friends yelled, Miss Qian didn't refute, she just stared at her directly, often making him helpless.
Not long afterwards, Miss Qian had an accident. Said that he was killed by a culprit while outing with a friend, and his death was miserable. Both his eyes were dug out, shocking the entire capital. Ms. Qian's father was only a small official from the seventh rank. After reporting to the official, he has not found the whereabouts of the murderer. Chu Zhao stayed for a long time when he heard the news, and it was hard to believe that the girl who always blinked at him playfully died so quietly.
After half a year, he went to Xu's house to find Xu Jingfu. When he passed the small hall, he heard Xu Pingting talking to the maid beside him.
"It's just a pariah, and I still want to fight with this lady! I don't even look at how many catties I am. I dug out her eyes to see how she will seduce Brother Zilan in the future? The woman who is pestering Zilan brother, I will not be as merciful as before!"
The girl's laughter was soft and innocent, but it was full of marrow-soaked viciousness. Just talking and laughing, she completely destroyed another girl her size.
Chu Zhao's heart was cold from beginning to end.
And now, he is going to be tied to this woman, and grow old together, in love, so ironic.
He slowly sat upright, and one night, when he was still in Liangzhouwei, Lin Qingtan's grandson, the white-clothed sacred hand Lin Shuanghe once said a word to him.
"Sister Chu, if you are good for Sister He, stay away from her as soon as possible. You have a tigress in your family, but sister He, we don't want to be the second Miss Qian."
His eyes are unpredictable. There is a flat stone lying beside the pen holder. The stone is in the shape of a horse. It seems to be able to see through the stone and see the night, the girl wiped the sweat on her forehead. He took the knife and cut it down seriously, and handed him the stone.
Whose voice is bright and flying, as clean as a spring stream.
"Zhao, it means light. Zilan means vanilla. The person who gave you this name must love you very much. I hope you have a noble character and a bright future. Only then will you take such an elegant word for you. "
He has been in the dark for many years.
But when the first ray of light appeared, I knew I didn't belong, and I wanted to hold it greedily.
……
He Yan deliberately got up late the next morning.
After using the morning meal and greeted Ginguo, He Yan left the house unhurriedly. It has been a few days since she went to Xu's house last time. I want to come to the young man named Fuwang. I am afraid that I am looking at her through the autumn water these few days.
Your Majesty’s reward for silver, the rest is all carried in her sleeve. When dealing with people, money is indispensable. Although he is a small official now, the money is not enough. She had nothing to spare if she managed to do it a few more times. He Yan wondered whether to borrow a little from Lin Shuanghe, and then go to Letongzhuang to double how many times? But last time I won the silver at Letongzhuang and offended the dealer. I am afraid I will be turned away if I go again this time.
Thinking about the serious question of where the money comes from, He Yan has already arrived at the teahouse where he met Fuwang earlier. She first smiled and gave the guy at the entrance of the tea house a little bit of silver, and asked casually: "Can someone come to me these few days?"
The young man took the broken silver back quickly, and said with a smile: "Yes, there are! The little brother who came with the son last time, these days, you have been sitting three times a day. Before long, he should come again."
He Yan smiled and said: "Then bother my brother to serve the pot of tea."
After that, I walked to the elegant room where I met last time and sat down.
After drying Fuwang for so long, He Yan had already guessed that Fuwang would probably be unable to hold back, but he did not expect him to be so uncomfortable, but this is a good thing for her, Xu Zhiheng's method of buying people's hearts It's too bad. Or, he only paid attention to buying the people above, but he watched the people below also win over.
Sure enough, He Yan only sat for a quarter of an hour. Someone walked to the room and knocked on the door. He Yan said, "Please come in." The door was pushed open, Fu Wang closed the door, and strode in.
"Young Master!" He was very excited when he saw He Yan. "The younger one thought you were not in Shuojing anymore. I'm really anxious these few days."
He Yan stretched out his hand to him: "Sit down."
When Fuwang sat down, she said unhurriedly, "I have something important these days, but I have time to come here today." She poured a cup of tea for Fuwang, in a very gentle tone, "Little Brother is so anxious to find me, but has news?"
"The news... of course there is." Fuwang showed an embarrassed expression.
He Yan understood with his heart, and placed a silver coin in front of him.
"The son is great and kind, thank you son." Fuwang smiled, and took the silver into his arms before he said: "The son has to inquire about things, the younger one has been paying attention to the mansion. It's just that Aunt He had an accident before. At the time, all the servants in Aunt He’s yard were gone, the ones who went out of the house, the ones that were sold, and in the end, no one was able to stay. The younger ones were also from other servants in the yard. Put together a little bit of news." He lowered his voice and glanced around nervously, "Actually, the people who are subordinates are dead!"
As soon as these words came out, he deliberately wanted to see He Yan's expression, but it was a pity that the face of the person sitting opposite was hung under the drapery, and he couldn't see clearly. But seeing that he can still drink tea calmly, he doesn't look very surprised.
"The son knows, if all the people in the yard are executed, what is the situation?"
He Yan smiled slightly, "Killing and killing?"
I wanted to sell it, but I didn’t expect to be seen through it at a glance. Fuwang was a little discouraged for a while, but without the usual temptation of the same person, he honestly answered, "It is true. Little inquired, Aunt He has committed an unforgivable crime, so the so-called family law is actually asking her to die. The people in her yard know the truth, so there is no way to survive."
When Fuwang inquired about these things from others, now that he thinks about it, his back feels chilly. Even if the subordinates in the yard sell their lives in the hands of the master, dozens of lives can be taken. Moreover, Xu's scholarly family was able to wipe out dozens of people without changing their faces, which is frightening. It also teaches people to be curious, what serious crime did Aunt He commit?
Adultery? That would not kill all the people in a yard. There are guards in the yard. It's impossible for Aunt He to have an affair with others. Those guards are still watching? What is the serious crime that can let everyone in a yard know and must die to keep the secret?
"Are these all there?" He Yan asked.
Fuwang said: "There are only these."
He Yan smiled: "Brother, these things you said seem to be secrets, but in fact, they are not helpful to my affairs. If you can only find these, our deal is unnecessary. Keep doing it." She stood up, "I have troubled you these days, it's been hard work."
After that, he left without nostalgia, Fuwang felt tight and blurted out: "The son stays!"
He regretted it as soon as he said it, doing business and doing business, sometimes not only doing business, it depends on who is more calm. He was afraid that he would lose this cash cow, so he kept aloud, but he also exposed himself.
He Yan turned his head to look at him: "Could it be that brother, is there any unfinished news?"
Knowing that he has been seen through by the person opposite, Fuwang bit his head and said: "My son, sit down and talk."
He Yan smiled and sat down again.
"In fact, I heard from the small inquiries that one of the people who were executed at that time might not have died yet."
He Yan smiled and said, "Go on."
"That person was Aunt He’s nanny Qin. Before Aunt He’s accident, her nanny said that she would go home to visit her grandson, but she did not return home after a while. Aunt He sent someone to see her, but the nanny’s family said she I didn't go back, and the mansion also looked for her afterwards, but there has been no news." Fu Wang said: "The youngest thinks that Mother Qin may still be alive."
He Yan looked at him and said nothing.
Fuwang is a little uneasy, "My son?"
"Since you said, no one can find Mother Qin now," He Yan didn't worry, and said slowly: "The little brother may not be able to find it. A person who has no trace, even if he is alive in the world, What value is there if there is no news?"
Fuwang was secretly frightened. Could the person on the other side be unable to read his mind? He did find out a little bit of Mother Qin's trace, which he paid a lot of money to reveal, but now he wants to make this deal on the other side, and the person on the other side can leave at any time. If he can't show his full sincerity, I'm afraid this person will never see him in the future.
Thinking about this, Fu Wang was heartbroken, "The little inquired, this mother Qin has been a widow long time ago. When she was a nanny for Aunt He, she had a close friend. No one knows about this. , Only a girl who boils water in the house knows. That good friend now lives outside the city, the younger one wants to try, maybe Mother Qin is still there."
It's pretty much the same. He Yan calmed down a bit, and there was more praise in his tone. "My eyes are right. Brother is really amazing. You can find the news that no one else can find." She said, "Then I will wait for the good news here. If the younger brother finds out the whereabouts of Mother Qin, be sure not to startle the snake and tell me secretly." She said: "After this matter, I can help the younger brother take off. When you are a slave, you only need to take a lot of silver and leave Shuojing, and you will naturally sit back and relax in the future."
Fuwang was very excited by this.
"I still have important things to do, so I won't stay with my little brother any more," He Yan got up, "My little brother will stay here, and I will go back after drinking tea and snacks."
"Master, wait!"
Fuwang's voice came from behind, and as soon as He Yanfu turned around, he felt that someone had already arrived, trying to lift her hood. However, the next moment, that hand was easily clamped by He Yan.
Fuwang: "It hurts..."
He Yan released his hand and continued to walk forward without looking back, only saying: "Brother wants to see my face, and is not in a hurry. When the dust settles, I will take off my veil." /
The door was closed, and the elegant room was empty, as if the spy just now was just a dream, only the two teacups on the table reminded that someone had actually come.
Fuwang sat down at the table and drank a sip of tea to suppress his panic. What is the identity of this mysterious person who knows the Xu family well?
……
Leaving the tea room, He Yan's mood relaxed a lot. Under the curtain, his smile gradually spread.
Unexpectedly, Fuwang would go so smoothly. The people who witnessed the truth in the yard really survived. Since Mother Qin could guess that Xu Zhiheng would kill people in advance, she must be a wise man. A wise man may run away with some hole cards. Xu Zhiheng had counted a thousand fortunes, and probably didn't count that Mother Qin could run away. After all, the children and grandchildren are in the capital. If she ran away, the Xu family would not let her family go.
But Xu Zhiheng also missed a point. When a person is facing death, no one will not be afraid. The thirst for survival is greater than anything else. There will be people who sacrifice themselves to protect their families, and there will also be selfish ghosts who run for their lives in disaster. Moreover, with Mother Qin's run, her family was safer. If Xu Zhiheng took the lives of her children and grandchildren, she would protect her mother Qin would tell the world the truth for revenge. Without knowing where he was, Xu Zhiheng would instead throw a rat restraint.
She had to find Mother Qin sooner than Xu Zhiheng and He Rufei.
Today things went well, and He Yan was happy in his heart, and he went back a little earlier when he returned home. Before I walked to the yard, I heard a familiar voice, "Sister, where is the brother named He, you really don't know?"
Ginguo stood up to his waist and replied with her face upright: "Second Young Master will not let the slaves ask about Young Master He."
Lin Shuanghe took the fan and said, "Your second master is very thoughtful."
He Yan called him "Brother Lin" from a distance. Lin Shuanghe turned around and saw that she was her. He immediately brightened his eyes and walked over quickly, "I just came here and said why you weren't here, you just came back. Brother He, I came here to find you specially."
Since I went back to Shuojing, He Yan hasn't seen him yet. Lin Shuanghe wore a lot more swagger than when he was in Liangzhou Guarding. I probably kept it in the barracks before, but now I am back in Shuojing. Even the eyes of the cranes on the clothes are decorated with small gems, the fragrant ball jade belt, there are not many, and the whole body is written with two words: rich.
"Brother Lin, but what happened to the house?" He Yan was still thinking about what he entrusted this person to do. Unexpectedly, Lin Shuanghe choked as soon as this remark came out, apparently leaving the matter behind.
He chuckled a few times, "The house...It's not easy to find these days. I want to find something for Brother He, so I can't be sloppy. Well, I have other things here, let's talk about it. "
He Yan was speechless.
Leading Lin Shuanghe into the house, after closing the door, Lin Shuanghe turned around in the house and exclaimed: "That's right, isn't this house next door to Huaijin? I think it's better than Liangzhou Wei. Sister He, is it okay for you to live here? If there is any inconvenience, just tell Huai Jin and don't wrong yourself."
What he said is as if this is not the Xiao family, but the Lin family. He Yan poured him a cup of hot water, "Brother Lin, you are not here to see how I live, right?"
"Oh," Lin Shuanghe patted his head, "I almost forgot the business." He took out a post from his sleeve and handed it to He Yan, "The post from the palace banquet, here you are. Huai Jin went out of town. I’m afraid I can’t come back that day. Before I leave, let someone tell me to take care of you. After three days, I’ll come to pick you up at the gate of Xiao’s Mansion. I’m afraid it’s not very convenient."
He Yan was taken aback, "The governor went out of the city?"
"Yes, he was out of town today. He walked in a hurry and asked his people to bring me a letter. Originally, he planned to take you with you at the palace banquet, but he couldn’t make it back this time. I did it for you."
He Yan remembered that Xiao Jue had told him that he was going out of the city in the past few days, but he didn't expect to be in such a hurry, and he didn't even have time to say hello.
But... he really kept his promise and said he would take him to the palace banquet, and he really took it.
"What are you thinking, Sister He," Lin Shuanghe stretched out his hand and shook in front of her, "I came today and brought some clothes. You go to the palace, and you have to dress better. You don't know what's in the palace. Those people watching the dishes and ordering food, you might have to walk around the palace often in the future. The first time you go, you will leave a deep impression on the people. These are all I asked the next person to buy, and the pieces are all good ingredients. , It’s very gorgeous, if you choose a dress, it’s not a shame to Huai Jin’s face."
He Yan: "...thanks a lot."
"Also, Sister He, I guess that Huai Jin will bring you into the palace this time. Your Majesty may reward you much. After all, you have done a lot with you earlier. , Don’t be too surprised, so what, I’ll talk about it first, it’s not necessarily."
He talked about a bunch of things that need attention in the palace banquet, and the young man came to urge him to rush to the next party before he got up to leave. After Lin Shuanghe left, He Yan sat down in front of the mirror.
The clothes he asked someone to bring were placed on the table. They were brand new and neat, with exquisite embroidery. He Yan looked at herself in the mirror. She had already recovered her daughter's body before entering the palace in her previous life. Therefore, it is He Rufei who enters the palace, and it is He Rufei who sees your majesty, and it is He Rufei who has been named "Feihong".
Now, she finally re-enters the palace as He Yan. Want to come to this palace banquet, Xu Zhiheng and He Rufei will be there, maybe she will even see He Yuanliang and He Yuansheng. Those who have been entangled with her past life have finally reappeared in front of him now, and in this way.
The girl in the mirror has changed her face, her facial features are not similar to those in the past. Only those eyes were burning with raging flames, as if they were about to burn all the evil deeds, bright as always.
He Yan lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking. After a while, she slowly cocked the corner of her mouth and smiled.
Three days later, it was time for He Rufei, Xu Zhiheng, and the He family to recognize the name "He Yan" again. When I meet a dead old person again, I don't know that there is a ghost in his heart, when I hear this name again, I am afraid of being guilty and unable to sleep at night.
Perhaps, Xiao Jue’s absence is a good thing.
She can be more unscrupulous.
