Chapter 852: 851 [The Bitter Girl]
Chapter 852 851 [Cold Girl]
Today, Qinyuan is the most luxurious place in Kyoto. Even the Bamboo House and Liyuan, which have the prince as their backer, have been trampled under its feet, not to mention other manors and pavilions. Even if they imitate Qinyuan and make various changes, I can only follow behind to find some leftover soup and water.
Qinyuan's own quality and layout are superhuman, coupled with Pei Yue's original membership system at all levels, it has already set off a wave of consumption in Kyoto. Especially those wealthy businessmen from all over the world, Qinyuan has become their status-enhancing social network. The first choice of the rich and powerful, there are countless scenes where money is spent.
As more and more distinguished guests arrive, the water mirror, plain wall and cold jade in the outer garden are often overcrowded. When the number of people who have obtained the Qinyuan jade plaque reaches a certain number, the inner garden is finally unveiled, and the luxury is hard to find. The description made those dignitaries say they were in heaven and on earth.
If Pei Yue, who is far away in the south, hears these compliments, he will only chuckle secretly. They are really a bunch of guys who have never seen the world.
Shen's carriage stopped behind the inner garden, in the core area of Qinyuan.
Yang Hu, who had already received the notification, stood by the roadside and saluted, "I have met Miss Shen."
Shen Danmo glanced around and asked with some curiosity: "Why don't you see Shopkeeper Qi?"
Yang Hu answered meticulously: "Something happened on the Xiangyun today, and Qi Min rushed over early in the morning to deal with it."
Before Pei Yuan went to Vietnam, he had already established his commercial territory, with capable people responsible for every place. However, due to the severe drought in Qinzhou, Wang Yong led a group of people to transport grain southward, and at the same time he was also responsible for the Xiangyun's operations in the south. He was unable to return to Beijing in a short time due to the work of establishing a semicolon. Qi Jun is now in charge of the main office in Kyoto, and Qi Min and Yang Hu will occasionally help resolve some unexpected troubles.
Shen Danmo knew this very well, but he didn't ask for details. He just said calmly: "I want to go to the back alley."
The back alley of Qinyuan seems to be ordinary, but in fact it is under the cross surveillance of three groups of people, namely the spies trained by Qi Min and Yang Hu, a group of personal soldiers arranged by Pei Yue and the personnel of Taishitai Pavilion.
Those people were not on Taige's list, but were confidants that Silent Cloud had secretly cultivated over the years, and were handed over to Shen Danmo after he left Beijing.
Yang Hu did not hesitate, nodded and said: "Please come with me."
After a while, Shen Danmo stood in the small courtyard, looking at the maid dressed in the corridor who looked surprised and uncertain, and said to Yang Hu and the maid beside him: "You should step aside first."
Nongyu met Shen Danmo once before, but that time Shen Danmo was accompanied by many people, and he did not stay for a long time. He only chatted with Chen Xizhi for a moment and then left. Today, looking at this girl with an extraordinary background and an indifferent expression, She didn't know why she felt panicked.
Fortunately, a cool voice calmed her down in time.
"Since guests are here, why don't you invite them in?"
Nong Yu came back to her senses and said inside: "Yes, Miss."
She stepped forward to greet Shen Danmo, then led him to the study room, served tea, and then left.
Chen Xizhi put down his brush, closed the account book, stood up and sat across from Shen Danmo, a faint smile appeared on his face, and said slowly: "Miss Shen is here, do you have any advice?"
When she first learned about this person from her father, Shen Danmo was surprised on the one hand that he and Pei Yue trusted each other so much. On the other hand, he was naturally curious, so he came here to meet him some time ago when he was bored.
Girls are always prone to comparisons, and pride is hard to avoid.
Looking at Chen Xizhi, whose bare face had been washed away, it was difficult for Shen Danmo to associate this face with that female devil who regarded human life as nothing. She thought to herself that she had rich experience and knew countless people, even though Pei Yue was still a The concubine, who was struggling to gain a foothold, could see his extraordinary qualities early on, but no matter how she observed, she could not confirm whether Chen Xizhi had truly changed his mind or was hiding it without any flaws.
After a moment of silence, Shen Danmo smiled slightly and asked, "Who are you?"
This is a silly-sounding question.
Since Shen Danmo was able to come to this courtyard, it was obviously with Pei Yue's consent, and it was impossible not to know Chen Xizhi's identity.
Chen Xizhi picked up the tea cup and said calmly: "Pei Yue didn't tell you?"
Shen Danmo said calmly: "I told you."
Chen Xizhi looked at her with a smile, obviously waiting for what happened next.
The seemingly unrelated words in the files appeared in Shen Danmo's mind, gradually forming a thin and hidden line. It was difficult for others to find clues from them, but she had been consulting Taige's files with Shen Moyun's tacit permission since she was a child. He is born with the ability to find the truth from the chaos.
Putting down those complicated thoughts, Shen Danmo changed the subject and said: "A great victory in the southern border. Pei Yue defeated Fang Xiexiao's conspiracy and not only defended Jiangling, but also captured the city of Hanyang."
Chen Xizhi said "Oh" and said with a smile: "Congratulations."
Shen Danmo continued: "Yesterday, His Majesty issued an imperial edict, allowing Han Gongduan to participate in the affairs of the East Government and take over the subsequent peace talks, but excluded Pei Yue."
Chen Xizhi thought thoughtfully and then said: "For Pei Yue, this is a good thing. He is still very young, and his first contribution in this battle is enough for him to officially take over the North Camp of the Beijing Army. As for the credit for the peace talks, The emperor's decision to hand it over to others is enough to show how much he values Pei Yue, after all, too much is not enough."
"Miss Chen's mind changes very quickly." Shen Danmo smiled, but the next moment he said suddenly and sternly: "What are you so nervous about? With such a long speech, are you trying to convince yourself, or are you trying to convince me?"
Chen Xizhi faced her scrutinizing gaze, leaned back in his chair, and said calmly: "Miss Shen wants to interrogate me?"
Shen Danmo said in a deep voice: "Otherwise? Do you think I came today just to get close to you?"
Chen Xizhi felt the aura emanating from her and was a little surprised, but still asked calmly: "I wonder why Miss Shen is interrogating me?"
Shen Danmo turned his head and glanced at the study room, and finally his eyes fell on the desk.
Chen Xizhi's eyes narrowed slightly.
Shen Danmo sneered in his heart, and then said: "I'm just curious about your identity."
The topic turned back again.
The thoughts in Chen Xizhi's mind turned around, and he quickly calmed down and said with a little boredom: "My biological father is the late emperor Renzong, and my biological mother is the legitimate daughter of the Chen family. I wonder if this answer will satisfy Miss Shen?"
If what she said is not a lie, then she still has the identity of a princess, but for Pei Yue, this princess is a secret that must not be disclosed, otherwise it will only bring disaster to his life.
Shen Danmo naturally understood this truth. She did not deny the other party's statement and changed the topic again: "Then please tell me why you continue to do so after Ye Qi spared your life and Pei Yue did not hesitate to bear your hidden danger. Deal with him?"
Chen Xizhi slowly sat up straight and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with cold eyes.
