The Sun Mansion is located in the center of the west of Liangzhou City, not far from the market, but it is not too noisy. The houses everywhere are built large and beautiful. Xiao Jue doesn't like to take a car, so the two of them go on horseback. Feinu didn't follow him, and I don't know where he was. He neither protected Miss Song Er like a red fog nor followed Xiao Jue to the banquet. He Yan guessed that he probably went to help Xiao Jue do his business.

Without Fei Nu, only He Yan and Xiao Jue were left. Although Fei Nu was taciturn on weekdays, He Yan could talk to him for a few words. He Yan became nervous when he stayed alone with Xiao Jue. Fortunately, they rode their horses and didn't have to say anything. They had already arrived at the gate of Sun's mansion in about three incense sticks.

When the servant at the door of Sun's mansion saw them, he must have received Sun Xiangfu's greeting in advance, and immediately came forward warmly and said, "This should be Governor Xiao, right? This is Mr. Cheng? The master is already waiting in the front hall." He took the horses of Xiao Jue and He Yan, and ordered another maid: "Yingyue, take Governor Xiao and Mr. Cheng in."

The maid named Yingyue was also very beautiful. It was already September, and the autumn nights were cold, but she only wore a thin gauze dress. If she didn't wear it, there was still a layer. If she said it was worn, what could it cover? He Yan almost couldn't control himself putting a dress on the girl. The man in their barracks once said that he often beat her shirt when she was young, and when she was old, she would inevitably have legs and waist pain. Why bother?

Yingyue spoke, her voice was as gentle as a yellow oriole coming out of the valley, "Please follow me, please come." While speaking, her affectionate eyes stared at Xiao Jue's eyes, so delicate that it could drip out of water.

Even though He Yan was a fool, he knew that this maid was attracted to Xiao Jue. Well, there were not many girls in this world like Song Taotao, and everyone in the world was a vulgar. Xiao Jue's face looked quite terrifying, and there were countless girls who loved him, and He Yan should have expected it.

But no matter how you fall flowers, your heart is as strong as iron. Xiao Jue didn't look at the maid, but instead glanced at He Yan, and said coldly: "Why are you stunned?"

"Ah?" He Yan came to his senses and saw that he had already walked forward, he quickly followed. He thought to himself that this man was really sick, and he would not look at the girl like a flower, so why did he find her fault?

The two of them walked into the gate of Sun's mansion with the maid.

The renovation of Sun's Mansion is very luxurious.

He Yan has never seen the houses of the Beijing officials, but that's it. Although the He family is not as good as the Xiao family, it is still considered an official. If you can name it in Shuojing, the Sun Mansion can be comparable to the He family's repairs. But this is not Shuojing, but Liangzhou. Sun Xiangfu is not a Beijing official, but just a county magistrate.

Three years later, the Qing magistrate had 100,000 silver silver. This was true. He Yan was amazed at the rock bonsai and glazed jade tiles. How could a magistrate afford these? Sun Xiangfu didn’t know how much money and ointment he had plundered. It was true that judging from Sun Ling’s virtue, the Sun family and his son did a lot of evil in Liangzhou, almost half of the local emperor.

She thought to herself, but she didn't know that her appearance was also seen by the people around her.

Xiao Jue's eyes moved slightly.

Young people are not as innocent as Cheng Lisu’s clothes. Although people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, a recruit from the bottom will show their legs when pretending to be a master from a wealthy family. Anything they have done and people they have seen will be engraved in the human body and become clear traces.

Everyone's traces are different.

There was emotion and contemplation in He Yan's eyes, but there was no shivering or nervousness. If he had done this for the first time and went to such a place, such a reaction would be unreasonable.

At this moment, Yingyue had already stopped and rushed into the room, "Master, Governor Xiao and Master Cheng have arrived."

Suddenly, Sun Xiangfu's exaggerated voice sounded inside: "Governor Xiao is here! The officials are still afraid that the Governor and the Young Master will not come. It's good if they come, and it's good if they come!"

He Yan looked up and saw that this man looked so frightened and terrified, and he was not as powerful as he had when he first met in the inn a few days ago. He was not afraid of laughing at him as an official.

Sun Xiangfu did not wait for Xiao Jue to speak, and turned around and revealed the person behind him, smiling: "Mr. Yuan has arrived, too."

This is Yuan Baozhen? He Yan looked at him and saw a middle-aged man with a white face and smiled at them in a friendly manner. In an instant, it overlapped with what He Yan remembered.

When she first met Yuan Bao Town, she was outside the He family's study. At that time, He Rufei had already received his merits, took off his mask, and truly became "General Feihong". As the lady of the second wife of the He family, she was about to marry into the Xu family. When she saw this person, she was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that He Rufei would make friends in the court so soon.

She later asked He Rufei who that person was, and He Rufei said he was the current censor Yuan Baozhen.

"What are you going to do with him?" He Yan just said casually at the time.

He Rufei looked at her and smiled strangely. He said, "What you want to do now is to embroider your wedding dress, not to care about these things. He Yan," he leaned closer, his tone containing the unpredictableness that He Yan could not understand, "You must remember that you are now the lady of the second wife of the He family, a woman."

He Yan didn't agree with it. She didn't know how to embroider, and she was not embroidering the wedding dress. But she understood what He Rufei meant. He Rufei was warning her not to contact General Feihong again.

Are you afraid that someone would find the truth? He Yan sneered in his heart, which was ridiculous that she did not find the murderous intent in He Rufei's words at that time.

Now that I suddenly see my cousin’s friend, how should she get the news she wants?

Before He Yan could think clearly, Yuan Baozhen had already stepped forward and bowed to Xiao Jue first: "Governor." Then he looked at He Yan again: "Is this Mr. Cheng?"

He Yan stared at him and smiled in surprise: "Mr. Yuan."

"I have heard that Young Master Cheng is a young man with great strength and extraordinary weapons. Now when I see him, it turns out to be true." Yuan Baozhen said with a smile: "It turns out that a hero is a young man!"

He Yan: "..."

Isn’t Cheng Lisu a famous "waste boy" in the capital? Fortunately, this person continued to speak and understood that the first thing he did to be an official in the Great Wei Dynasty was to learn the ability to “talk people to speak, and talk nonsense when they met ghosts”.

He Yan had no choice but to say, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm ashamed."

The two of them talked politely here, and Sun Xiangfu rubbed his hands and said in a hurry: "Governor, the subordinate has a reluctant request."

Xiao Jue: "What's the matter?"

"Didn't the dog bump into the governor and the young master some time ago?" Sun Xiangfu seemed very uneasy. "Although the servant taught him a lesson, the child felt very guilty and wanted to apologize to the governor and the young master in person. The servant thought that since he knew he was wrong, the servant would come to ask the governor with this old face so that the unfilial son could have a chance to apologize."

"No one is better than a sage," Yuan Baozhen said with a smile: "Besides, this matter is just a misunderstanding, just to resolve the misunderstanding, the governor will not care. You should call Master Sun over here and clarify with Governor Xiao."

"Really?" Sun Xiangfu excitedly ordered the servant: "Go and call the young master over!"

When He Yan saw that they were singing together, Xiao Jue finished singing the show himself without asking about it, he knew that the two of them must have discussed it in advance. Yuan Baozhen seems to be a guy with Sun Xiangfu, and so, who can be close to He Ruru, who is a kind person?

Sun Ling was waiting outside the hall. Before he could finish his words, he followed the maid in. As soon as he came in, he knelt down at Xiao Jue with a "thump". He Yan almost bit his tongue.

This man had shown his power and was arrogant before. Now, in just a few days, he looked haggard and looked like he was seriously ill. He dressed very simply and gave a big gift to Xiao Jue. He said weakly: "I was ignorant before and had a dispute with Master Cheng. Now I know my mistakes. I hope the governor and Master Cheng can forgive me for being young and frivolous. I will make a comeback and never make any more mistakes."

Is this how young and frivolous? He Yan doesn't believe that this person can never do anything again in a few days. She looked at Xiao Jue, and Xiao Jue looked indifferent. He neither said good nor said bad, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.

He Yan still has to fight this smoothie. Anyway, it’s all about performing the show. If this play is not performed, wouldn’t it be embarrassing at the banquet? She smiled and stared at Sun Ling’s head and said, “What are you saying? That day was just a misunderstanding. Young Master Sun doesn’t have to take it seriously. You can’t recognize the wrong person in the future. This time, it’s okay to meet me and my uncle. If you meet someone who is arbitrary, even if you apologize a hundred times, you will not have any result.”

As soon as he spoke, Sun Xiangfu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly scolded Sun Ling: "Why don't you thank Mr. Cheng. Mr. Cheng is younger than you and has a lot of prospects!" He probably had no choice but to praise him, and said dryly: "Learn from Mr. Cheng more from the future!"

Sun Ling quickly said a lot of good things to He Yan, and He Yan was about to spit out the dinner overnight. She really didn't like to listen to these words. How could this be fooled?

After singing the drama "The magistrate's young master carries a thorn to apologize for guilt", Sun Ling went back to the house. According to his father, Sun Ling suffered a family law after returning home last time. He was seriously ill and could not get out of bed. Today, he came over to apologize for Xiao Jue. Now that he has finished taking the crime, he has to lie back on the bed.

He Yan smiled and said, "Then Mr. Sun, go quickly, don't hurt your body."

I am afraid that something will happen again at the banquet. After all, his son looks like a troublemaker.

After Sun Ling left, Sun Xiangfu said, "Governor Xiao, please sit, and Master Cheng, please sit. When it is a little later, there will be singing and dancing in the mansion. Then we will go to the banquet and enjoy the dance together."

He Yan sat down next to Xiao Jue, and then Sun Xiangfu was talking. What he said was nothing special. He just asked if He Yan and Xiao Jue were used to living in Liangzhou City. The recent weather in Liangzhou City... it was always meaningless greetings.

He Yan's thoughts have always been on Yuan Baozhen.

Yuan Baozhen and He Rufei should be considered friends, right? At least she saw Yuan Baozhen entering and leaving the He family more than once. Moreover, the attitudes of He Yuansheng and his son did not seem to be nodding. So, if Yuan Baozhen came to Liangzhou this time, He Rufei would know? He must have known it. If it were a friend, he might have practiced it before leaving. Then what was going on in the He family? Yuan Baozhen should also know about He Rufei's plans for the next period of time.

But how could Yuan Baozhen say so much to her, "Cheng Lisu"?

He Yan was so confused that he forgot to hide his eyes. Yuan Baozhen was not an ordinary person. After a glance, he noticed that He Yan had been staring at him. He didn't say anything, but he still listened to Sun Xiangfu's words with a smile, occasionally saying a few words, and at first glance it looked very ordinary.

After a while, it was completely dark. Sun Xiangfu stood up and smiled and said, "I see that the time is almost over. Let's go to the hall to have a banquet."

Of course there is no objection to this. Sun Xiangfu walked in front to lead the way, He Yan and Xiao Jue were behind, and Yuan Baozhen was on her right. He Yan thought about He Rufei, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Yuan Baozhen.

She was thinking about things, but suddenly, Yuan Baozhen turned his head. He was a man in the officialdom and was very cunning. He was not smiling at this moment. His eyes were flashing with a glittering light. It was really scary. He actually caught He Yan.

He Yan was shocked and thought to himself that he had been discovered. Before he could speak, he felt that his arm was gently pulled. The next moment, he was blocking her alone.

Xiao Jue's cold voice fell into her ears: "Look at the road well."

She looked in surprise. Xiao Jue was taller than her. In this way, Yuan Baozhen's terrifying gaze was blocked by him and could not see at all. Xiao Jue also looked at the other party and bent his lips, "What are you looking at when Lord Yuan stared at my nephew?"

Yuan Baozhen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "No, the governor probably has misunderstood." He turned around and stopped looking at He Yan, as if what had just happened was just an insignificant joke.

Xiao Jue continued to move forward. He Yan was stunned for a moment and followed. There was something strange in his heart. Although the words "my nephew" refer to Cheng Lisu, she was protecting her. She hadn't had this feeling of someone protecting her for a long time.

Perhaps, never before.

When he arrived at the hall, the banquet had been set up, and a short mat was set up everywhere. He Yan sat down next to Xiao Jue. The empty space in the middle was probably for the next singing and dancing. He Yan actually didn't understand why such a banquet had to invite beautiful women to sing and dancing to cheer him up? It is important to know that the real people disdained this.

But Sun Xiangfu is not a real person after all.

When He Yan looked at the dishes on the table again, he couldn't help but be shocked. What are the auspicious dragons flying together, the Buddha's hand golden rolls, the phoenix tail shark fins, and the dried Lianfu sea cucumbers. The third-rank official family in the capital was like this. It seems that the Sun family's life is very comfortable.

She turned her head to look at Xiao Jue. I have to say that Xiao Jue had a cold face on weekdays. This is not possible, nor is it possible. When she sat at the banquet, she was tired and lazy and she was less indifferent. The leisure in her bones was outlined. He Yan suddenly remembered that this person was the real young master in the capital. He also went to a cocktail party today and had a good night tomorrow. The young master was very stylish. In this way, he immediately had the shadow of the young master of the Xiao family at the banquet.

"Look at what I do," Young Master Xiao's mouth curled, his voice low, and fell into He Yan's ears, "Be careful to reveal the stuff."

He Yan coughed lightly, "I was shocked by my uncle's charm and was just distracted for a moment."

She used to flattering her, and she could say something inexplicably, and Xiao Jue was too lazy to pay attention to her. At this moment, Yuan Baozhen spoke, and he said, "The relationship between Governor Xiao and Mr. Cheng is very good."

"Of course, it's good for your own people." Xiao Jue answered calmly.

Yuan Baozhen was just looking for a story, so of course he wouldn't care about Xiao Jue's attitude. He picked up the wine cup on the table and smiled and said, "I have never understood that in the bitter and cold place of Liangzhou, Governor Xiao is better than here in Shuojing, so why would he come to Liangzhou to garrison?"

He Yan felt a little moved when he heard this, and she was also curious about this question. Xiao Jue is now the governor of the Right Army, and the entire Nanfu soldiers are in his hands, so there is no need to bring a new recruit here. He Yan thought he had been demoted at the beginning, but looking at his arrogant appearance in front of Sun Xiangfu, it didn't seem like he was demoted.

Xiao Jue glanced at Yuan Baozhen and did not answer his question. Instead, he smiled. He asked back: "Yuan Jingshi, why am I?"

Why did this guy kick the ball back again?

Yuan Baozhen is also a powerful person. His smile remained unchanged at all. He immediately used the necessary abilities in the officialdom and said nonsense. He said, "I think the governor must be worried that it is difficult to lead the new recruits. If he changes the generals next to him, he may not be able to lead them well. The governor has never been afraid of hardships, so he volunteered to come to Liangzhou to guard."

After a while, Xiao Jue said, "Is that true?" He asked casually: "What the Censor means is that I think it is a good thing for me to go to Liangzhou?"

"certainly."

Xiao Jue glanced at him and smiled indifferently, "I think that's not what Censor Yuan wants to say."

"Oh?" Yuan Baozhen asked with a smile: "What does Governor Xiao mean?"

"The end of the year will be broken, and the end of the year will not be broken." He spoke meaningfully, "Isn't it because of this that Lord Yuan personally went to Liangzhou?"

The atmosphere immediately solidified. Sun Xiangfu didn't dare to say a word, and was a human being with his tail between his legs. Yuan Baozhen's smile almost couldn't hold on. He Yan looked at Xiao Jue with his head and couldn't help but shout OK to Xiao Jue in his heart.

You compliment me, and I compliment you like you is really meaningless. It’s all lies. No useful things can be done until the end of a banquet. It looks like Mr. Xiao is so powerful that he makes others speechless with just one sentence.

The hidden mystery of this banquet should have been placed on the table so openly!

Yuan Baozhen paused for a moment before laughing: "Governor Xiao is really good at joking. I came to Liangzhou, but I was just ordered to inspect."

Xiao Jue refused to comment.
To be continued...
