Bondage

The Dengtian Tower is nine stories high and three feet wide. It is usually guarded by the Imperial Army, but the gates can be opened in advance for decoration only during major festivals such as Mid-Autumn Festival.On good occasions, the emperor or the blood of the emperor will go up the tower to pray for the grace of the heavens, to ensure the peace of the world and the peace of all things.

Before the eldest prince revealed that he had lost his personal virtue, he would go upstairs to pray for blessings on behalf of the royal family, but since he was found out by Emperor Wen Hui when he was hanging out with beautiful girls in the palace, he has not received this honor again.

In the past two years, the matter of going to Dengtianlou to light the lamps fell on the third prince Shen Qianbai.

On the opposite side of Dengtian Tower is the most luxurious restaurant in Beijing. This place is far away from Dengtian Tower, and you can take in the scene inside the building.It's just that the Cuiwei Building is not accessible to ordinary people, especially the top floors are occupied by various dignitaries in Shanghai all the year round.

Ordinarily, with the status of the Chengyang Marquis' Mansion, he could have found a wing room on the top floor, but recently the Hou Mansion's reputation has been discredited and he has been excluded.

Jiang Xingjian came to the second floor of Cuiwei Building with a gloomy and ugly face. He pushed the door in and saw Jiang Yan turning around with a soft smile on his face.

It's just that the smile quickly faded when he saw that Jiang Xingjian was the only one who came.

Unspeakable irritability rose from the bottom of his heart, Jiang Yan put his hands behind his back and said, "Brother came alone today?"

Jiang Xingjian nodded: "Grandmother can't do without people. Mother needs to stay and take care of her. Your sister-in-law is ill and cannot come."

Jiang Yan smiled lightly, then turned and looked out the window.

It's just that the hand holding the edge of the corridor unconsciously tightened and tightened, as if he couldn't control the irritability in his heart.

Seeing this, Qingzhai took the teacup and handed it to him: "Master uses tea."

Jiang Xingjian raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Yan, then withdrew his eyes and looked in the direction of Dengtianlou with full of vigilance.Both of them had calculations in their hearts, and neither of them noticed the abnormality of the other.

The room was silent, and Jiang Yan was the first to lose patience.

"My younger brother just saw an old friend and wants to visit him."

"Go and do your work, don't pay attention to me."

Jiang Yan nodded and was about to leave, when he heard Jiang Xingjian say: "Today is chaotic, if nothing happens, why don't you go back to your residence earlier, don't wander around in the street."

"My brother knows."

Walking out of the room, Jiang Yan frowned suspiciously.

Jiang Xingjian's words seemed to have a deep meaning, so he had to put it in his heart, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to go back home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got off the Cuiwei Building, he saw Xiao Jiye standing on the third floor.

Jiang Yan was not surprised that Xiao Jiye would appear here, but this person's presence in the top-floor wing made him a little puzzled.

"You go back first, I'll go upstairs and have a look."

Let Qingzhai go back to the residence first, Jiang Yan went to see Xiao Jiye's room just now.

He has known Xiao Jiye for a long time, although the two have secretly cooperated in many businesses, but he has no idea of ​​the origin of this person.Jiang Yan only knew his surname was Xiao, and he occasionally revealed a Nanqing accent when he spoke.

Originally, Jiang Yan thought that Xiao Jiye was the son of a family in the Nanqing Kingdom, but since Jiang Xingjian said Man Dianxiang last time, he felt that the identity of the other party might not be so simple.

With the accent of the enemy's country and the addition of tribute wine, and entering the third floor of Cuiwei again today, I have to say that this made him quite curious.

Seeing Jiang Yan, Xiao Jiye was not surprised, and directly led him into the door.

There was only Xiao Jiye in the room, Jiang Yan saw this and said, "It makes people very curious that you appear here."

Xiao Jiye chuckled, picked up the wine jug on the table and filled it up for the two of them: "Why are you curious? This Cuiwei Building is originally mine."

Jiang Yan was surprised, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "If I remember correctly, this Cuiwei Building has something to do with Dongchang."

"I remember correctly."

Xiao Jiye laughed wantonly, but did not explain anything else.

Jiang Yan was also knowledgeable and interested, so he stopped asking questions after seeing this.

The two chatted briefly, and Xiao Jiye drank most of the jar of wine, only to realize that Jiang Yan's wine bowl had been placed in front of him, and he hadn't taken a sip.

"Why, are you afraid that I will poison you?"

"it's not true."

Pushing the wine bowl in front of him to the side, Jiang Yan's eyes softened: "I promised her not to drink anymore."

Seeing his expression, Xiao Jiye pinched his cheeks with a click, his teeth sore as hell.

He had also met Song Wan a few times, although it could be said that he was outstanding in appearance and kind-hearted, but why did Jiang Yan behave like this?

"A good man indulges in love all day long, he really doesn't know what it means."

Xiao Jiye shook his head again and again: "Women are like snakes and scorpions, and it's too late to avoid them. You are so foolish that you are at a loss for what to do."

Thinking of his injuries, his eyes darkened slightly, and even a bit of murderous intent was drawn out by Jiu Jin.

When Jiang Yan heard the words, his words were lonely: "No one in the world knows how good she is. Jiang Xingjian doesn't know, and neither do you. No one in the world knows, only I know."

Xiao Jiye was puzzled, and he didn't understand this love even more. He drank the wine in the bowl and walked out of the window porch to look at Dengtianlou.

There is a bright yellow praying platform not far from Dengtianlou, and there are royal people sitting on it.In order to prevent someone from stalking, this altar is very far away from Cuiwei Tower.

Xiao Jiye squinted his eyes, his eyes were obscure.

"looking at what?"

"I'm looking to see if that person is here."

Jiang Yan snorted and said, "Naturally I didn't come."

Emperor Wen Hui had a cowardly temperament. It is said that the prince's fight for the heir was a serious battle that frightened him out of his nerve. He has never been out of the palace for so many years, and today will be no exception.

Xiao Jiye withdrew his gaze and said seriously: "What kind of person do you think he is?"

"cough."

Before Jiang Yan could speak, he heard a man coughing lightly from the next room.The two of them turned their heads together, and a gentle man walked out of the room.

"Second Master Yan."

Song Fu smiled faintly at Jiang Yan, his eyes were full of kindness.

In the early years, Song Wan was a widow in the Hou's mansion, and he wrote to him saying that he would be taken care of by the second wife, so Song Fu had a very good impression of him.

"Master Song."

Seeing Song Fu, Jiang Yan straightened his back unconsciously, the disdain in Cai Cai's eyes was gone, replaced by respect and obedience like a child seeing an elder.

Xiao Jiye looked at Song Fu, and secretly thought that this person looked upright, the appearance of an upright gentleman.After thinking about it, he also called Master Song.

"I have prepared wine and food in the wing room. If you two have nothing to do, why not have a drink with me?"

Xiao Jiye looked at Jiang Yan and asked what he meant.

Jiang Yan said with a smile: "Master Song invited me, I dare not go against it."

The two walked into Song Fu's room, and saw a variety of light dishes and snacks on the table. There were two packs of Liu Ji crispy candies beside the table, and the wine prepared was also made from fruit that was more suitable for women.Jiang Yan glanced over the dishes on the table, and secretly wrote them down in his heart.

When he saw two packs of Liu Ji Crispy Candy, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his complexion became a little hot.

He never knew the man liked these.

Xiao Jiye didn't care about these things, he put two jars of wine on the table, and found Xiaoer to put meat dishes on the table again, then sat down and greeted Song Fu.

Song Fu saw that he acted in a relaxed and unrestrained manner, and gradually became fond of him, so he picked up the wine jar and poured wine for the two of them.

With a smile in Xiao Jiye's eyes, he looked at Jiang Yan curiously when he saw this scene.

I don't know if his sister-in-law's elder brother comes to serve the wine, will he drink it or not?
