The two of them talked about their lingering love, and time flew by quickly before they knew it. It was already dusk. They got out of the car hand in hand and stood side by side by the lake, watching the sunset as it set in the west. The evening reflected the magnificent shadows on the lake.
Yan Biyun and Su Jin looked as if they were immortals.
Yan Biyun reached out and took out a small cloth bag from her arms. She opened it gently and revealed a piece of snow-white crystal jade. Su Jin recognized it as the big three-yuan jade pendant. A closer look revealed a faint crack in the jade.
"Do you still want this piece of jade, Mr. Lang? I accidentally dropped it on the ground and there was a little scar. Fortunately, it didn't fall apart." Yan Biyun said with some regret.
Su Jin smiled and said: "Since I have this big three-yuan jade pendant on my waist, my position has been empty."
Yan Biyun glanced at Su Jin gracefully and said: "I don't know how many beautiful jade can be hung in one belt, so don't coax me."
Su Jin smiled and said: "Three thousand ladles of weak water are enough."
Yan Biyun poked his forehead with her slender fingers and said, "Don't tell these lies. How about Rou Niang? How about Huan Niang? I don't know how many more there will be in the future."
Su Jin was stunned and speechless. He really couldn't say too much about this matter in front of a woman like Yan Biyun. Everyone tacitly understood how luxurious it was for women in this era to have one love all to themselves, even for Su Jin.
People who came from later generations have never stopped hunting for beauty. What's more, Yan Biyun knew that no matter her age or status, she was not worthy of Su Jin, and she couldn't ask Su Jin to do anything.
Su Jin also knew that he could not abandon Huan Niang and Rou Niang. He had already promised in front of the two sisters that abandoning them in the end was more hateful than being a philanderer, so naturally he remained silent.
Su Jin knew that Yan Biyun had been ill for a while at the end of August. The temperature difference between morning and evening was already too big and he couldn't let Yan Biyun stand in the wind for a long time. So he said: "Let's go back to where you and Mr. Yan live?"
Yan Biyun said: "Since Yingtian Mansion has my family's property, I naturally live in the east of the city and in Fenglou, where my uncle lives in the official post. There are many officials coming and going there, and it is not suitable for the slave family to live."
Su Jin said: "How about I send you off to Feng Louzhong? I'll take a day off tomorrow and we can go out and play together."
Yan Biyun rolled her eyes at him and said, "Have you ignored what I just said? You and I can only communicate in secret. Tian Mansion is a big place. The governor here, Tang Jie, and his uncle are not very close to each other. On the surface, he is kind and friendly. In fact, this Mr. Tang Jie is
He is a member of King Teng's faction and has a lot to do with Prime Minister Lu in the court. How can we not be careful? Let's take you back to your residence. Anyway, I will accompany you in Yingtian. I recognize your residence and miss you. I will go to see you in the evening. Do you agree?
?”
Su Jin was a little depressed when he saw the pleading in her tone, but then he felt relieved. Yan Biyun was a considerate and virtuous and filial woman who cared about other people's feelings. How could he make it difficult for her? Su Jin could also see what Yan Biyun said.
His Highness, Prince Teng, is not someone to be trifled with. Tang Jie, who talks like a prude, is not afraid of himself, but it would be inappropriate to harm the Yan family.
Su Jin suddenly remembered something and said: "I live in a rented house in Nancheng, but there is Mr. Xia from the capital who shares a house with me. Mr. Xia's father seems to be a high-ranking person, maybe you will know him.
."
Yan Biyun frowned and said, "Is your surname Xia? What's your name?"
Su Jin said: "The name Xia Silin seems to be a pseudonym."
Yan Biyun said: "Fake name? How do you know."
Su Jin immediately told the story of how he met Mr. Xia. After hearing this, Yan Biyun looked at Su Jin strangely and said nothing.
Su Jin smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Yan Biyun said: "Since you know that she is a woman disguised as a man, why do you live in the same house with him? You may have ulterior motives."
Su Jin called out to Tianqu and stamped his feet: "I have never had such an idea in my conscience. I was in a hurry when the day came and I had to go to school the next day. I really needed to find a place to settle down. Besides, Xia Silin was noisy with me."
It’s just a compromise that makes a fuss. What’s the point?”
Yan Biyun chuckled and said, "Just assume that what you are telling the truth is true. Even if you don't think so, Miss Xia may look at you and you won't know."
Su Jin stretched out his hand to take Yan Biyun into his arms and said: "I am a poor man, who would treat me well except the kind-hearted host Yan Dong's family? I never thought you would be jealous."
Yan Biyun smiled slightly, pushed Su Jin away, pointed to the forest and said: "Don't hug me, Xiao Xian'er, they are watching in the forest." After a pause, he said: "There are many officials named Xia in Beijing, but they are said to be in high positions.
I'm afraid there is only one who is currently serving as Shaanxi Economic Strategy's pacification and recruitment envoy in the northwest frontier."
Su Jin said in astonishment: "Are you the envoy? Isn't it possible that Master Fan is also under him?"
Yan Biyun nodded and said: "Master Fan Zhongyan and Master Han Qi are both his deputy envoys."
Su Jin clicked his tongue and said, "If you are so powerful, what is your name, Master Xia?"
Yan Biyun said: "Master Xia's name is Xia Songzi. Qiao became famous for his talents when he was young. Biyun is not sure about the specific deeds, but he did have a daughter at his knees. I even met her. Last year, the Dragon Boat Festival Emperor gave a banquet to the slave family to accompany my uncle.
I saw her when I entered the palace. She is a beautiful woman, but Master Xia probably didn't call her Ling'er Ling'er because she was from the Four Forests."
Su Jin smiled and said: "Could it be the bell's bell?"
Yan Biyun said: "I don't know. If it's really her, you won't be able to go to the house."
Su Jin said: "Why can't you go?"
Yan Biyun said: "Master Xia Song and my uncle have different political opinions. The two of them often quarrel with each other in the court, which gives the emperor a headache. If I go, I will inevitably be bumped into by her. If Miss Xia informs Master Xia of the matter, Master Xia will definitely meet."
If you use this to impeach your uncle, you are asking for trouble."
Su Jin nodded and said: "That's why, according to what you said, we can only secretly meet in the wild like today."
Yan Biyun spat: "A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory and what it says about a tryst in the wild is so unpleasant."
Su Jin said with a playful smile: "Little lady, give me a smile."
Yan Biyun punched, but Su Jin couldn't move with his pink fist. Su Jin stretched out his mouth and kissed her forcefully, saying: "How about I ask Sui'er to find a shared house in Nancheng to move out. I don't want to see the cat making trouble."
It’s not a good feeling in my heart.”
Yan Biyun listened to what he said and said with an amused smile: "Well, actually, this is just speculation between the two of us, maybe there is someone else."
Su Jin also said: "I don't think it's necessarily Miss Xia. In fact, she has a good relationship with me and is quite caring."
Yan Biyun pondered for a while and said: "Mr. Lang, don't blame Biyun for being talkative. If you don't mean anything to her, it's better to stay away from her. You may not understand the thoughts of a good woman. Once she likes you, it will be difficult to handle."
Su Jin joked: "If there's anything difficult to do, just let it go."
Yan Biyun snorted and said, "I think if you knew what kind of person Mr. Xia was, you wouldn't say such things."
Su Jin stuck out his tongue and said: "What kind of man-eating beast?"
Yan Biyun said softly: "I'm afraid he is even more powerful than a beast. There are rumors in the capital that Mr. Xia has killed countless people and commanded the northwest army for many years. He has a bad temper and is often blamed. I remember that on Miss Xia's fourteenth birthday, an official inadvertently said something disrespectful to Miss Xia at the banquet."
On the second day, he was found quartered in a back alley. Do you think he is more ferocious than a wild beast?"
Su Jin said in astonishment: "So cruel? Why can't Miss Xia show any anger in her body?"
Yan Biyun said: "Miss Xia is Miss Xia, Master Xia is Master Xia. How can we say the same thing? Master Xia regards her as the pearl of her palm. How can she allow you to date Miss Xia? The result must be..."
Su Jin answered with a smile: "I don't even know how I died after being quartered in a shady alley."
Yan Biyun said: "It's good if you know."
Su Jin laughed loudly and said: "Are we worrying in vain? I have nothing to do with Miss Xia and I have done nothing to help her. I'm afraid where will Mr. Xia come from?"
Yan Biyun said: "I just want to remind you that you are not jealous. You can test her in case she is not Xia Song's daughter. If you like her and she likes you, there is no harm in accepting it. If she is Xia Song's daughter,
It’s best to find a courtyard and leave as soon as possible.”
Su Jin smiled bitterly and did not want to get involved in the matter without asking for confirmation. He took Yan Biyun's carriage out of the path by the lake and drove all the way to the city.dd
