Legacy of the old dynasty

Zhang Qiling waited in the room all night, but Wu Xie did not come back.If it was Mr. Suijie who went out, there would be nothing wrong with it. It is not surprising that Mr. Suijie rested at the Wang's mansion when it was too late.It's just that after dawn, I waited left and right, but no one was seen.

So he sent Pan Zi to Wang's house to inquire, but when Pan Zi came back, his face changed drastically, and he reported that the servants of Wang's family said that he watched Mr. Wu leave the mansion yesterday, got into the sedan chair, and went all the way south.

Wu Sansheng went to court early in the morning, but he has not returned yet.He had no choice but to come to the prince's mansion alone, and he didn't prepare a letter of worship, but only asked for his opinion.

As a result, the doorman replied that Mr. Xie also went back to his residence last night and did not stay at Wang's house.

Arriving at Jie Mansion again, the disciples did not make things difficult this time, and when they saw him coming, they respectfully led the way.He was worried, so he opened his mouth and asked the doorman if there were any guests staying overnight last night.

Although the disciple doubted his rashness, he still answered him "never".

Only now did Zhang Qiling feel that something was wrong.

Xie Yuchen was practicing kung fu in the garden, and a soft sword was danced by him so tightly that the cold was overwhelming.Zhang Qiling didn't know that he would do this, but now he has no time to take care of it.

Sure enough, when Mr. Xie heard that Wu Xie had disappeared, the sword fell to the ground with a clang.

Xie Yuchen was silent for a long time, and finally sighed.

This matter has to start from last night.

It was normal for the Palace to star in a new play yesterday.But after the play ended, the prince sent someone to invite Wu Xie to go, but what he said was commonplace, but it was a bit unusual.Xie Yuchen was originally an exquisite mind, he guessed [-]% if you did one point, and became suspicious as soon as he heard it.Later, he coaxed Wu Xie to bring him some food, but actually asked the butler in the palace.

The housekeeper had already accepted his situation, and it was not a secret, so he told the truth.

Six years later, the emperor got married and made the Wang family the queen.However, there has been nothing since then. At the beginning of this year, there were rumors that the Queen Mother instructed the emperor to choose a concubine, and all the places immediately selected women of the right age to enter the palace as a candidate.In the past few months, all the good-looking women have been engaged in marriage. They are afraid that once they are selected into the palace, they will not meet each other in life or death.The prince is in the inner court, so it is not surprising to get the news. If the prince also takes action, it must be true.

The housekeeper said: "Master did indeed talk to Madam about the selection of concubines, and he also mentioned the son of Wu Shangshu's family." Having said this, he lowered his voice, "Today, Master asked Mr. Wu to speak, and Madam and Miss were also included. Room. I think it won't be long before Mr. Wu will be our son-in-law." After speaking, he smiled again.

After Xie Yuchen thought about it, he still had to tell Wu Xie about it.The orders of parents and the words of matchmakers have never been controlled by themselves.But in the past few days, seeing the deep affection between those two, he really couldn't bear to say it.He only thought that if he really couldn't turn back, he would tell Wu Xie, and if the two of them had any regrets, they could find ways to make up for one or two.

How did he know that Wu Xie was so decisive.

Zhang Qiling didn't wait for Mr. Xie to finish speaking, he stood up "huh", ready to leave.

"Master Zhang," Xie Yuchen called out from behind him, "please stay a little longer and listen to me."

Zhang Qiling didn't seem to want to hear it.He turned around and cupped his hands towards Mr. Xie, only uttering two words "Farewell".

Bearers are hired.Before noon, Pan Zi found it on the street and brought it back to Wu's residence.It just so happened that Wu Sansheng came back from the court and was shocked to learn that Wu Xie was missing.It was too late to change the official uniform, so he questioned the bearer first.

The two bearers were shaking like chaff, and they couldn't speak well.He only said that when he left the palace that day, the young master said to go back to the mansion here. Seeing that he was almost at the gate, he changed his mind somehow and said to go outside the city...

Wu Sansheng was furious immediately: "He will go as soon as he says! I don't even look at the time, how can I let him mess around!"

After all, the older bearer had seen some of the world, and gradually calmed down, he bowed his body and said, "Don't blame me, sir, we are sent by others to do our job, and we can't make the decisions ourselves. But I think that The young master speaks calmly and looks calm, not like an impulsive person."

Zhang Qiling asked at this moment: "Where are you sending him?"

The bearer replied: "The young master got off the sedan chair after he left the city gate, and sent us both back. I don't know about the rest."

After Zhang Qiling heard this, he waved his hand, and Pan Zi led him away.

Wu Sansheng asked: "Didn't Xiao Xie go to the prince's mansion to listen to an opera yesterday, and it's so good, why..."

Zhang Qiling had no choice but to tell Wu Sansheng what he heard from Xie Yuchen.

After Wu Sansheng listened, his expression gradually calmed down.Then he asked Wu Xie if he had any silver with him.Zhang Qiling replied that there should be some scattered silver in Wu Xie's purse, although it is not much, it should be safe for a while.Wu Sansheng nodded, then went to the back room to wash his face and change clothes, and after coming out, he drank a cup of tea and said: "That kid Xiaoxie is such a clean person, it's hard for him."

Zhang Qiling was holding back, but hearing what Wu Sanxing said, he almost couldn't hold it.The four words "clean and clean" were stabbed straight, like a sharp knife cutting one's heart.

He also heard Wu Sanxing sigh: "This child..." He seemed to have nothing to say.After a while, he said, "I'll write a letter in hand immediately and find someone to take it back to Hangzhou. But now..."

Whether to find or not to find, Wu Sansheng also encountered difficulties.

The Wang family intends to get married, and judging from Wu Xie's intentions, they must be unwilling.It's okay if you don't want to, but this time it's the Wang family, not only the Wang family that helped them just now, but also the Wang family that has resigned.Little did they know that the prince submitted a letter to resign this time, although the emperor did not allow it, but the prince's intention to go was decided, and the reputation among the people was even higher.

Such a dilemma forced Wu Xie to leave.

After pondering for a while, Wu Sansheng said: "Since that's the case, it's only said that Wu Xie went out for a trip, and the date of return is undecided. After all, let's delay it for a while before making any plans. It's just that this child was raised at home with rich clothes and fine food, so it's inevitable that he will have to eat it this time." It's a bit of a pain. I just have one thing that I don't understand..." He looked at Zhang Qiling, and said, "If you think about it for the sake of official career, or persuade him to have this marriage, why don't you even Let me know?"

Zhang Qiling smiled wryly and shook his head.

If there is anyone in this world who understands him best, it is Wu Xie.

So he knew in his heart that if he came to ask him, would he be willing to go with him.

His answer must be——

No.
