Chapter 12

Chen Xiyi was very excited to see me. Brother, you are here so well. There are few people in this bird place that speak in line with my heart. My intentions come and go. Today I will not be drunk!

Turning back to see Jie Yu, he pulled her to the couch: Little brother, come too, let's stop drunk! He shouted again: Xijue, bring my "Liu Lingzui"!

With his shouting, a charming woman walked in with a small celadon, which was Chen Xiyi's new widow, and Chen Xijue, who had not seen her for more than a month. She was surprisingly charming and charming, although she was still plain, her texture was changed to Su Shi, and there were a few peonies embroidered on her sleeves. The needlework was extremely exquisite.

When she reached out to put the jar on the table, she revealed a round and white wrist with a pair of agate-red jade bracelets on her wrist, which was the pair I gave to Xiyi.

The young master is here. Chen Xijue said lightly, but a hint of joy appeared in his eyes, which made me understand that the plain tone was a result of deliberate depression.

What a young man or not? Xijue, you call me brother. After hearing what Chen Xiyi said, I said, "I dare not work for a girl."

It reached out to pick up the jar, and my fingers brushed across her delicate jade finger intentionally or unintentionally. Her eyes drooped lightly, and when others didn't pay attention, she quickly gave me a quick look.

When I was in Yingtian, I found that Xijue seemed to fall in love with me at first sight. At this moment, I was even more sure that Chen Xiyi didn't notice any strangeness about her sister. She asked me when I arrived in Hangzhou and if there was any businessman.

I said it was here at noon, but when I went to find you, I met Wu Wu. So I was late, Chen Xiyi frowned, and looked at the disdainful expression on Jie Yu's face. He obviously understood what happened in the afternoon, sighed and said: Brother, it's not me that girl Wu Wu is crazy, and getting close to her has implicated your reputation.

Brother, you are too worried, I smiled and said: What's the reputation of me, a traitor! Jie Yu couldn't stop nodding when he heard this, and I think he really agreed with my point of view

Chen Xiyi had no choice but to do anything to me, so he asked about my case and the recent situation of Lu Wei. I answered one by one, and told him in detail about Gui E and Fang Xianfu's order to enter Beijing.

Gui and Fang suddenly gained the favor and spread throughout the officialdom, but there was no definite news. The reason was already spread beyond recognition. After hearing what I said, Chen Xiyi was so energetic that she applauded and smiled: In this way, it seems that the case of the court discussion big gift is about to be overturned!

Chen Xiyi's excitement was not beyond my expectations. He was demoted to the ninth level because he was implicated in the court's case of the court's grand ceremony, and changed from a third-rank commander of the Beijing Wei Metropolitan Commander to an eighth-rank governor of Hangzhou Wei. Once the court's grand ceremony reversed the case, he was very likely to be restored to his post, and even further promotion was not known. How could this not make him excited?!

Why didn't you follow your senior brother to Beijing but leave to Jiangnan? Even though you were excited, Chen Xiyi couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Brother, although the emperor appointed Gui and Fang, the court was all Yang Ting and the same party. Yang was afraid that his power would fall and would fight back. I was afraid that the city gate would catch fire and harm the fish in the pond. My younger brother went to Yuyao to protect my teacher Yangming Gong

Chen Xiyi was so clear at a glance, laughed and said: "It's good that my elder brother has lost his composure just now. You have to eat one bite at a time. Yang Tinghe is still in power in the court. The emperor's actions will inevitably be restrained. It may take some time to truly take power. He also said that if there is something wrong with Yangming Gong of Yuyao, he will do his best to support me."

Jie Yu was confused and asked who Gui E, who Fang Xianfu was, and who Yangming Gong was. Obviously, he knew nothing about the affairs in the officialdom. Chen Xiyi was in a good mood and answered them one by one. She finally understood the relationship between the positions and the relationship between them. My eyes looked a little strange: Why do so many scholars have a lot of eyes for you, a traitor? What is the king of Xinjian Bo and you still accept as a disciple? She tsk, she is a Count.

Can you suffocate you to death by saying less? This girl really doesn't leave me any affection, completely ignoring that there is a stunning beauty by my side

Xijue looked at her in surprise, as if she had seen something, and there was ambiguous smile in the eyes that turned to me intentionally or unintentionally.

Don’t love is a scholar... Chen Xiyi also seemed to wonder why Xie Yu didn’t know my origin. I saw that he wanted to say something, so he quickly stopped it with his eyes and asked: Brother, I asked you to inquire about the Nanyang Black Pearl input last time, I wonder if there is any clue?

Chen Xiyi nodded and said: Some people are a little surprised, but things are strange.

He explained that the dynasty originally had trade and transportation with foreign countries, including Ningbo, Quanzhou and Guangzhou. Although Ningbo connects to Japan, Quanzhou connects to Ryukyu, Guangzhou connects to Chameng, Siam, and Western countries, there are Nanyang beads imported from all three places, but the number is different.

However, last year, the authenticity of Japanese tribute envoy occurred. The Japanese tribute envoy Zong Shi, and Song Suqing divided the channels to pay tribute. It was difficult to distinguish the authenticity. The eunuch of Ningbo Maritime Bureau, Lai En, accepted Song Suqing's bribe, favored Song Suqing, and caused Zong Shi to plunder in Ningbo.

The emperor was furious and submitted a memorial to the clerk Xia Yan to suggest the abolition of Ningbo Maritime Warehouse. The emperor made an approval report. Currently, there are only Quanzhou and two Maritime Warehouses in Guangzhou that have transactions on Nanyang beads. Because the emperor's new policy has extremely strict control over the import of luxury goods, the transaction volume of Nanyang beads in both places is quite rare, and it will not exceed one bead a year, and it is expensive.

Besides, it was all smuggled

The one you mentioned has transaction records in both maritime departments, but this year they only purchased twenty pieces in total. Chen Xiyi was alert and saw that I avoided Jie Yu in some things, so she concealed the name of Jiyuezhai.

I know that Chen Xiyi is from Guangdong and Guangxi, and has many friends in Guangdong and Guangxi. She has found so much internal information. It seems that she has used many old relationships. Seeing that he is so concerned, I am very moved.

That's right, I pondered that Jiyuezhai probably used half a bead at the auction on the day of its opening in Suzhou. It was obviously impossible to get it through formal channels. If it were smuggled, Jiyuezhai's semicolons were all in Jiangdong, Ningbo and Songjiang over there.

I said it right, but Song, Yong was controlled by my Hangzhou Guard. I checked the files of the Second Guard and Customs, and the City Bosi over the years. There was no record of smuggling, nor was it included in the suspect. The smuggling in Yong's two offices has always been controlled by Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates are jackal-like. We suspect that most of the suspects who trade with them have a deep background in the world. Like the Murong family, the Leaves Villa, the Cao Gang, the Pai Gang, and even the famous and upright factions like Wudang and Dajiang League and the Tang Gang far away in Shu are suspected of smuggling. The one you mentioned has not yet found to be related to any gang. This really makes me feel strange.

I couldn't help laughing when I heard that so many famous martial arts sects were suspected of smuggling. However, Jie Yu looked gloomy when he heard it. I didn't expect that the scenery of these wealthy families was also tainted.

Chen Xiyi told me again that a few confidants had sent to closely monitor Jiyuezhai's every move, and in a while, it would definitely find its secret. He and I understood that if they really caught the evidence of Jiyuezhai's smuggling, it would be just around the corner.

After the main talk, he started chatting about family matters. Chen Xiyi said that his wife was happy again. The first two people were just about to get him to transfer their positions and were tired and running all the way. They were now in bed to protect their babies, so they didn't come out to pay their respects to me, my uncle.

Unexpectedly, when Jie Yu heard this, he wanted to write ink and immediately wrote two prescriptions and handed them to Chen Xiyi, saying that it was a secret recipe for pregnancy protection. I took it and saw that it was indeed all angelica, donkey-hide gelatin and other supplements. There were only a few medicines that were rarely used in this way. However, after careful consideration, it made a lot of sense. I couldn't help but be surprised: Jie Yu, I didn't expect that you were a famous doctor at a young age, and you were ignorant and asked again: Are you a doctor in your family?

That's right, my ancestors have some other people who have been the emperor's imperial physician. Jie Yu heard me praise her and the clouds on her face disappeared. Are you quite sensible?

I told Chen Xiyi that Jie Yu's prescription could be tried for my sister-in-law. I took out the jewelry I bought for my sister-in-law and handed it to him and said it was a little bit of a bad intention. Xiyi heard that it was a gift from a woman's house, so she thanked her and accepted it.

The guests and guests enjoyed the whole meal. Chen Xiyi was drunk and couldn't even stand firmly. Jie Yu was drunk, and only I was still awake.

Seeing that his brother was drunk, he said he would give me a gift on his behalf and asked a maid to support Jie Yu, but she personally helped me with the fake step.

Relying on Xijue's body, you can feel the plumpness of her body. With the stuttering steps, my arms hit her chest from time to time. After a few times, she was dizzy and her cheeks were so charming under a crescent moon.

She knew that I was teasing on purpose, but she didn't say it out loud. She just bit her teeth lightly, and looked at me with a pair of pretty eyes as if they were angry and resentful. I felt very moved. Seeing that Jie Yu in front of me didn't pay attention to me at all, she took out a string of gold chains from her arms and stuffed them into her hand, and whispered in her ear: Xijue, this is specially given to you by my brother

A trace of surprise flashed across Xijue's face and lowered his head. He just fiddled with the chain while walking, but found that it was much longer than an ordinary necklace. He glanced at me strangely, as if asking, where did such a long chain be worn?

My arm wrapped around her water snake-like waist. Her body was plump, but her waist was as thin as willows. Xijue, this chain is called "Locking Waist", which is worn here. I used some effort on my hand, but I felt that the starting point was really smooth. Put it on, it locks your slim waist for my brother.

Xijue pinched me hard, broke away from my arm and ran away. It was not until I got on the carriage that she approached me and told me quietly: Brother, you must come often in the future.

You're such a thief

Not far from Chen Xiyi's home, Jie Yu, who was originally drunk, suddenly woke up. While rushing toward the city gate, she left a string of sneering.

She was not drunk, and my heart was slightly shaking. I knew that she was keen on six senses. I thought I heard what I teased Xijue. But I was not only thinking about this, but this girl's scheming made me alert. It seemed that some things were about to avoid her.

Although it was already night, I still saw pedestrians coming and going on the official road from time to time, and caravans and escorts that walked at night to avoid the heat of the day. But I had something to do in my mind and didn't pay attention to these night pedestrians until I suddenly heard someone shouting my name

Huh? Isn’t this the youngest hero of Wang Dong, the Chunshui Sword Sect?

I heard the sound familiar. Looking at Xunyin, I saw a young man and woman stopping in front of me. The woman had a beautiful face and a pair of innocent eyes staring at me with a straightforward look. However, it was Qi Luo, who had met at the head of Jiangyuan Dajiang League. Looking at the tall and thin handsome swordsman beside her, the rising and beautiful palace of Wudang is difficult.

Gong Nan still looked arrogant and unruly. At this moment, I looked even more contemptuous. Just when he saw Jie Yu turning his horse's head back to me, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It turned out to be Gong Brother Xian and his wife. I bowed and thought to myself, wasn’t Gong Nan going to Ningbo to investigate the Eagle Claw Gate case? I don’t know what the result is. It’s so late, what are they going out of the city for? But when I looked at Gong Nan’s eyes, I knew it was for the rumor between me and Mrs. Yu. An evil fire rose in my heart, so I deliberately teased him.

Gong Nan did not refute. It was obvious that the relationship between the two was already time to talk about marriage. Qi Luo was even more confused when she heard it. Even the question became very skillful. How can Sister Yu be safe?

Everything is fine, thank you Miss Qi for your concern

Qi Luo suddenly opened his eyes wide. Did you marry Sister Ling or Sister Long? Maybe seeing my smug smile, she suddenly woke up and shouted: Have you really married Sister Ling Long? So, Mrs. Yu... she is really not dead?!

It's a famous sect that kills people! I naturally understand what Qi Luo means. If Mrs. Yu really passed away, Linglong would naturally have to mourn her for three years. Of course, it would be impossible to marry me now. On the contrary, since Linglong has married, Mrs. Yu will naturally still be alive.

The leader of Yu is dead. I can publicly admit in front of my friends that Yu Wuxia is the former wife of Yu, but after all rumors can kill people. Wuxia Linglong will show up in the world before I leave the world. For them, I have to say that the living people are dead against my will. But from another perspective, Mrs. Yu, who is the head of the Chunshui Sword Sect, is indeed dead. The one who survives is my beloved concubine Yu Wuxia.

Seeing the difficulty of the palace, Qi Luo's expression. I know they don't believe what I said, but so what if I believe it, so what if I don't believe it. I didn't live to see other people's faces. Therefore, when I said goodbye, there was no trace of shame on my face. Qi Luo hesitated for a while before saying: If Sister Yu has time next month, please invite them to attend my wedding with Gong Lang.

Although I don't like Dajiangmeng, the innocent Qi Luo is an exception. Seeing that she showed happiness without any hesitation, I sincerely said my blessings.

After Xie Yu met the palace and Qi, he hid far away intentionally or unintentionally. Why, do you know them? I asked

Who doesn’t know about the palace of "Xiaoxiang Sword Rain" one of the three young masters in the martial arts world? Who doesn’t know about Qi Luo, the beloved daughter of the leader of Qi?

There was a hint of jealousy in her tone. I don’t know if she fell in love with Gong Nan, or if she envied Qi Luo for having a good home, but the world is so big that most people will never meet each other in their lifetime. It is really impossible to know and know, just like Sun Buer, Lu Lingxi is famous in the world and is the world's top master, but how many people recognize them?! It is very likely that an inconspicuous old man who passed by you just now is Sun Buer, and the simple lady who is wandering in the temple may be Lu Lingxi.

Jie Yu must have recognized Gong, one of Qi and others, but even the old Jianghu who lived in Jiangnan for a long time like Lu Wei did not know her origin. I think she should rarely come to Jiangnan, so there would not be too much chance of getting to know Qi Luo. On the contrary, the palace is difficult to travel all over the country, maybe I have seen him.

Although Gong Nan is arrogant, he is the best among the younger generation. It is not known that the girl Jieyu is Huaichun is not known. However, she seems to follow me all the way from Zhenjiang this time. Listening to the meaning of her words, at least before I reached an agreement with Murong Zhongda, she was always interested in me, and even believed the rumors in the world. It was only after verified that my image in her mind plummeted.

Could she be a star-chasing person? This thought flashed through my heart. Do you know Qi Xiaotian and Tang Sanzang? After receiving a positive answer, this thought became more and more realistic. After being compared as a reference, a hint of sadness suddenly surged in my heart. Perhaps this is the price of becoming famous.

After entering the city, we rode our horses and headed straight to Yuelai Inn near Baodaxiang. There was still a street away from Yuelai. I felt that there were more people on the street and gathered together in groups of three or five. Some were curious and some were excited. The crowd rushed towards Wutong Lane where Baodaxiang Hangzhou was located.

Jie Yupao came immediately and asked me: Hello, are there any special customs in Hangzhou? Why is it so lively today?

Jie Yu, I am your savior after all, and I am a few years older than you. Isn’t it too rude to call him “Hey”? I said dissatisfiedly

Jie Yu ignored me and stopped a man and asked what happened. The man said happily: You are a foreigner, Bao Daxiang has committed a crime, and the Hangzhou government is sending someone to search the house! Hehe, these things that are rich and unkind should have been done long ago!
