son-in-law

Chapter 149 Set the storm ([-])
With the sound of the axles, the carriage drove silently through the streets, sometimes there were people's voices and lights outside, sometimes the alleys were dark, and the surroundings turned into silence.Xi Junyu sat on the carriage, frowning occasionally, and looked at the silent guard Geng in the seat opposite.

"At this time...what are you going to do?"

He has asked similar questions several times, but each time the answer is actually the same.

"Treasurer Xi will know when the time comes."

Originally, he was still thinking about how Su Tan'er could turn defeat into victory this night, but gradually he felt that it might not be the case.Four months ago, the matter of the imperial business was exposed to the flood, and it was intertwined to this day. At the clan meeting tonight, it is a foregone conclusion that the second room and the third room will be angry with Su Taner. This matter cannot be solved, and Su Taner will be removed from power in the future. , The so-called future is all in vain, what else can we do at this time.

He hates this kind of situation where he can't see the situation clearly. If Su Tan'er and the others are students from his hands, but in such a situation, he is completely unpredictable.However, he still has confidence in how much he is trusted, and let's see what she plans to do...

In the carriage, he calculated the position the vehicle had reached at this time, occasionally glancing at the features outside through the curtain.The vehicle seemed to be heading out of the city, and the car was a little strange. It was not a carriage from Su Mansion. The carriage made a few circles along the way, perhaps because he was worried about being followed.Xi Junyu became more and more strange in his heart. This time, the opponent the Su family faced this time, he was very clear in his heart, who was it, what was it, and needed such a response?

The carriage left Jiangning City and finally stopped in front of a yard outside the city. Xi Junyu looked at the surrounding environment. It was relatively quiet here, but not far away was a small place that was busy on weekdays and was relatively mixed with dragons and snakes. It's called Shibugang.There are several shops and fish stalls, and people from some nearby villages will come to buy things, and occasionally there will be some firefights, killing people and grabbing territory.

Xi Junyu walked into the courtyard door.

The next moment, he stood there, some things were unbelievable, but they really came up in his heart, and he probably understood something.

A sharp knife pressed against his waist, and figures began to appear by the door.

"Brother Geng, what's the matter...?"

"Go ahead, shopkeeper Xi, let's wait here first. There will always be someone to tell you what you want to know. At that time, if you make a mistake, I will compensate you."

*****************
Yuexianglou, the piano is clear and beautiful, and the singing is soft.Luo Miaomiao fiddled with the strings and sang leisurely while everyone watched.Xue Yan, Xue Jin and others also sang along, intoxicated.After the song was over, he smiled and praised with a drink.

They are here today waiting for the results of the Su family, and they have been waiting for a long time. During this period, they were drinking and playing, and they were accompanied by Luo Miaomiao, but they would not be bored. After a while, Xue Jin looked at the direction of the Su family: "Speak up. , the Su family is about to get the results now."

"It's a pity I couldn't go to the Su family to see it with my own eyes. If you want to come to the third room of the Su family to intrigue in secret, it must be very exciting." Someone on the side echoed with a smile.

"Today, there is Miao Miao to accompany me here, we are just waiting for the result. You still want to see those intrigues, actually cooking the crane and burning the piano, it is unbearable, where is the girl Miao Miao? Punishment!"

Everyone laughed, and they couldn't help but sigh that the situation of the Su family was really disunited. Fortunately, their Xue family didn't have such a few houses to seize property.While joking, another person opened the curtain and came in. This person was a member of the Lu family. He had arrived at the beginning, and just went out to deal with some things, and only returned at this time.Xue Yan said with a smile: "Brother Lu, everyone has been waiting for you for so long, and you are finally back. You don't know, what a pity you missed Miss Miaomiao's performance when you left just now..."

The young man surnamed Lu also smiled and pleaded guilty a few times. After sitting down, he smiled and said, "I just walked around outside and heard some quite lively things. Oh, by the way, at the Su family's side, the result was Are you out?"

"It hasn't been passed on yet. Brother Lu is in a hurry? Haha, I just said that, the Lu family has put a lot of effort into this time, and just now has been a little cold to Miss Miaomiao. This matter should be punished."

"Heh, Brother Xue is joking, who doesn't know that Brother Xue's family is the most prepared for this incident. If something goes wrong with the Su family, the business of Brother Xue's family will take advantage of the most. Our Lu family is just following behind. The leftovers are cold, and it's just fish in troubled waters. Brother Xue's words are definitely framed, Miss Miaomiao, you can't trust him. He must be concerned about the results of the Su family, so he makes fun of others. "

Luo Miaomiao glanced at them: "You people, none of what you said is credible, Miaomiao really doesn't know who to believe, I'm afraid that they will be sold by you and will count the money for you, and ah, even selling Not a good price..." The woman laughed: "The Su family, it's really pitiful, and you have become rivals."

Several people laughed, Xue Yan shook his head and said: "If you don't talk about this, don't talk about it, the Su family's affairs are already settled, why bother, today's enjoyment is the top priority, and the rest are incidental. But Brother Lu just said something. What the heck is going on?"

"Oh, there's a lot of commotion in Changyun Pavilion. I heard that Liu Qing and Di Shi are fighting against the heroes, hehe, he's about to get his fists and feet to meet."

Today, Changyun Pavilion held a banquet in Puyang Yi, Liu Qingdi, Cao Guan and others were present.When those poets and lyricists were together, Xue Yan and others naturally couldn't participate. Even if Xue Jin and others had some literary skills, they just didn't write limericks.In the previous banquet, everyone also talked about the poetry party over there. At this time, when I heard that the situation was fierce, Luo Miaomiao asked with concern: "Is Sister Qilan okay?"

"Hehe, of course nothing will happen, that's just what I said. With Puyang Yi here, it's impossible for a fight to happen. It's just that both sides are on fire. But ah..." He paused and glanced at Xue Yan and Xue Jin , "Su Jianingyi was involved in this matter."

Xue Jin was stunned: "Impossible, why is Ning Yi in Changyun Pavilion at this time?"

"It's not that someone is there, hehe, but someone came up with a new poem by Ning Yi in Changyun Pavilion. This thing is also interesting to say, but Liu Qingdi..."

This person was talking about the situation in Changyun Pavilion, from Liu Qingdi's dispute with others, to his use of many poetic skills to suppress the Confucian scholars, to the subsequent rage of the Kongshan layman.He also took out two pieces of rice paper from his bosom, on which were copied some of the masterpieces made by everyone at the Changyun Pavilion gathering.

"...The last song is a new poem written by Ning Yi. It is said that he is now teaching at the Yushan Academy at home, and he wrote it casually a few days ago when he was explaining poetry to a [-]-year-old child. Su Chonghua saw it, and later told that Chen Lu and Chen Kongshan. The word was actually called Ding Fengbo, which is indeed a good word. I am afraid that this Ning Yi is famous, and he will have to improve today... Just thinking about Su Su now It's a bit ironic about family affairs..."

While joking, everyone took over those poems.Today is a high-level competition at Changyun Pavilion, which one is the best, but when watching the last song, everyone's faces are a little complicated.After Luo Miaomiao took it, she read it one by one, and it was a little slow to read, and her eyes were quite bright, but when she saw the last one, she still hesitated for a while before reading the words.

"Stop the storm... Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why don't you roar and walk slowly. The bamboo stick and the manshoe are lighter than the horse, who is afraid? Greetings. Looking back at the place where it has always been bleak, going back... there is no wind or rain... this word..."

In the audience, many people had already read this song, and after Luo Miaomiao finished reading it, it was a little cold for a while.Xue Yan looked aside, then laughed.

"The storm, the storm... Haha, the talent of Ning Yi's poems is really hard to say. However, with all his recent events, he still writes about the storm. Is he depressed and wants to comfort himself?"

He said this, and the others laughed in agreement: "No wonder I only show it to a nine-year-old child. I'm afraid it would be too self-deceiving, so I can only write to see it with a nine-year-old child for comfort."

"I don't think it's as good as the song "Drinking Wine and Pei Di" he wrote with Wu Chenghou that night. At least that song is plagiarism, and it won't make people laugh, hahahaha..."

"I'm all rude, so I don't know how good or bad these poems are, but the girl Miaomiao is far better than me. I don't know how Miss Miaomiao thinks about this poem?"

Luo Miaomiao looked at the expressions of the crowd, then looked at the poems in her hands, and laughed softly: "The poems are not bad." She gave the poems a "good" evaluation at this time, and everyone laughed even more happily.Luo Miaomiao casually read the words a few times before passing it on to others with a smile, only silently reciting them in her heart.

Afterwards, there was another chat and laughter, repeating the Su family's efforts two months ago and the final gorgeous failure. Ning Yi sadly wrote the song Jujiu and Pei Di in front of the Wu family, and all kinds of things after that. .It's just that the atmosphere has changed imperceptibly. Sometimes people are talking about a few excellent works written by Liu Qingdi, and they take a look at the manuscript paper, but inevitably their eyes stay on the "Ding Fengbo" for a moment. Turn away immediately.

This sudden "Casual Storm", like a small stalk, invisibly traverses this space.

However, no one said it, and it was not a big deal at first. As long as the results from the Su family came over, this seemingly non-existent stalk will disappear.Xue Yan occasionally looked downstairs inadvertently, and at a certain moment, she finally laughed.

"The result is here."

A family member ran upstairs, and everyone was already laughing. The window where Xue Yan was at this time was by the door. He opened the door and walked out under the eyes of everyone. Now, everyone can see the back of Xue Yan waiting.

"Come on, drink, drink." Xue Jin greeted everyone with a look that he didn't care much about, and everyone smiled and responded to him, waiting for Xue Yan to come in and tell the news.

The matter of the Su family has long been determined, and it is necessary to report it, but it is only a matter of a sentence or two. Even if there are some details, there is nothing to say.Everyone waited for Xue Yan to smile and turn around to repeat the result with them, but the family member kept talking in Xue Yan's ear mysteriously, and they waited like this for a long time.

"What did you say……"

"how is this possible……"

"Who are you talking about?"

After a long while, vague and shrill voices came in, not very clear, but some people sitting opposite the door still heard it, and Xue Yan asked and repeated there.Just now, the people who were laughing and mingling with each other finally quieted down, exchanging doubtful eyes, not knowing what happened or the details.However, it may also be that something unexpected happened to the Xue family. For example, the participants from the Chen family and the Lu family were not too worried. Finally, Xue Jin stood up, thought about it, and then walked towards the door.

He wanted to ask, "Brother, what happened?" However, the words didn't come out. Xue Yan had already turned his head, his expression was complicated, and his mind seemed to be no longer here. He just glanced at his brother and raised his head to come , looked at everyone in the room, opened his mouth to say something, but didn't say it.Just like that, he returned to his seat all the way under the gaze of everyone, shook his head, and felt that something was incomprehensible.

"Brother Xue, what's wrong?" The Lu family asked.

"Heh." Xue Yan smiled, and after a while, he whispered, "The result of the Su family is out."

"how?"

"How..." Xue Yan repeated, blinking, and after a while, she pressed her forehead hard and closed her eyes.The Xue family made the most arrangements for the Su family. At this time, everyone realized that the result might not be as expected—or should be said that it was not as desired.Xue Yan opened his eyes, swept the tableware and chopsticks in front of him with one hand, and then saw the two poems next to him. He tapped with two fingers, and pulled out the one below, and took it in. Looking at it in front of me, after a while, I read it out in my mouth, as if it was read to everyone.

"Heh... don't listen to the sound of the forest hitting the leaves... why don't you sing and walk slowly. Bamboo sticks and manshoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid... a misty rain will be a lifetime..." At this time, he recited the set storm. Once again, listening to everyone's ears, it was almost a completely different attitude, and then looked at everyone, "Looking back at the desolate place... If I say, we all guessed wrong, everyone has been calculated and calculated. clean, what would you say?"

No one answered.

"Four months..." Xue Yan looked out the window and murmured, "Oh, the Wu family is probably the worst calculated, and the incompetent second and third bedrooms of the Su family are also..."

"Brother Xue... Specifically, what happened?"

"That's it." Xue Yan slapped the script on the table, "People are laughing. The result...is the best result for Su Taner...All internal and external troubles are cleared up once, that cloth...that cloth is actually... ..." His emotions seemed to be out of control, and he reached out and rubbed his forehead, "Thinking about it now... it's like... ten steps count..."

"...Ning Liheng."

With this sigh, the last name he carried resounded in the hall, and everyone was stunned.But the whole thing is still unclear.Xue Yan took a deep breath, finally raised his head and smiled.

"Sorry, everyone, the four-month layout... No, the layout of more than two months has been completely ruined, and some gaffes, please bear with me. The results of the Su family have come out, I will tell everyone, and everyone will understand. …”

Time went back to not long ago, at night, at the Clan Council Chamber of the Su Mansion.

A debate has finally come to an end...

At five o'clock in the morning, the strong wind actually blew down the telephone pole. Fortunately, the mobile phone has electricity. After that, I ran back and forth N times to send out the chapter... Sad reminder...
