Chapter 189: keep promise
Although Xie Wei had already put on his clothes and even washed up a bit, he was only wearing a thin white robe, his hair was loosened by the green wood hairpin, and his expression was calm, so he was a bit more easy-going than when he was usually dressed up undisciplined.
Jiang Xuening knew it was just getting up.
After all, when Xie Wei was ordinary, from the tip of his hair to the corner of his robe, he was unmistakable.
When she was facing Xie Wei, she was mostly afraid, so compared to the previous presumptuousness, she seemed very cautious, and thought for a while and replied: "Mr. People come to bother Mr. after passing the transmission first. If Mr. is inconvenient, the student will come back another day."
Xie Wei finally took a look at her.
There was a flash of silence in the eyes, and when the lips were tightened, there was more impatience, but he only pointed to the seat opposite to her, motioned her to sit, and at the same time called: "Daoqin, add some bowls and chopsticks .”
When Jiang Xuening entered the door, she didn't dare to get too close. At this moment, her body froze slightly and stood still.
Xie Wei sneered: "You want to stand and watch me finish eating?"
Jiang Xuening finally woke up.
In the past two years, Xie Wei could be said to be keeping a low profile in the court, once he left the capital and came to Jinling, he clearly had something to discuss with her, and time was urgent, so he had to let her talk. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if she didn't sit down and wait for Xie Wei to drink porridge instead? Even if she is not embarrassed, the other party may not be able to eat this porridge comfortably.
It was she who was confused.
Over the years, I have taken care of a lot of things, and I have dealt with many people. Why did I get nervous and make mistakes when I first met?
Feeling a bit depressed, Jiang Xuening scolded herself secretly, and hurriedly said, "Then thank you sir, respect is worse than obedience", then hesitated, or walked to the table and sat down.
This location is just across from Xie Wei.
There is only a table between the two.
Outside, Daoqin came in with some bowls and chopsticks, took the bowl, and wanted to serve her porridge.
Xie Wei didn't raise his eyes, his slender fingers held on to the ivory chopsticks, put a chopstick of lotus root into the bowl, and said, "Doesn't she have long hands?"
Jiang Xuening's eyelids twitched.
Daoqin's scalp was even tighter, and she didn't dare to look around. She said "yes" in a low voice, and quickly put down the bowl and walked out.
This posture is almost like Lord Hades.
In the past, Xie Wei was always good-tempered, and there were few things in the world that could make him turn cold. Even in his previous life, when he raised troops to rebel and slaughtered the royal family, he was also gentle and gentle, without much murderous intent.
But now...
If it had been two years ago when she didn't realize it, Jiang Xuening might have put on a smiling face to coax the young teacher to calm down, but now she doesn't dare to go beyond the rules.
She just pretended she didn't hear anything, and comforted herself that perhaps Xie Wei had just woken up and had a temper, so she hurriedly poured half a bowl of porridge for herself, and drank it in small sips.
Xie Wei didn't say anything.
Even though a person like him has a cold face, his behavior is very decent and pleasing to the eye, which reminds Jiang Xuening of when he went to Beijing.
At that time it was not Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie.
I just thought it was a distant relative of the Jiang family, a sick young master who was too good-looking. Holding Zhang Qin halfway into the car, although she said little, her every move was different from those of her former playmates in the mountain village, just like the breeze in the mountains and the bright moon on the pine.
She was already worried about going to Beijing.
Will those wealthy families in the capital look down on me who grew up in the countryside?
She has never studied any etiquette poems and books, and she has heard a lot from the accompanying mother-in-law, but she still doesn't understand anything...
Meeting such a person, she couldn't help but look down at herself.
Fear and inferiority intertwined, and she forced herself to pick up the shelf, raised her jaw, resisted him, despised him, and showed strong hostility towards such a person.
She deliberately knocked over his teacup and tore his piano score...
It's just that secretly, unable to restrain the feeling of inferiority, quietly imitated him, trying to learn a little bit, and let people look up to him when he goes to the capital.
I still remember that when Xie Wei was not in the car and tore up his piano score, the sick young man who didn’t say much all the way, took the piano score that had been torn out several pages for the first time, and asked her: "What are you doing?" of?"
She pretended to be stupid: "What?"
Hearing the words, the other party slowly turned cold, and the veins on the back of the hand holding the piano score popped slightly, but smiled at her abruptly: "This time I will treat you as young and ignorant, if there is another time, you can try again." .”
Frankly speaking, even though the person surnamed Xie has a sickly face and a somewhat sleepy demeanor, she has a good skin after all, and she looks really good-looking when she smiles. It is inevitable that she was dazzled when she was young, and at the same time, her back felt cold, and she was a little bit affected. frightened.
But the other party turned around and returned to the car after speaking.
Jiang Xuening didn't take this sentence to heart, she just thought that this person was just speaking harshly. It's just a distant relative who depends on others, she is the daughter of a high official in Beijing, how dare he do anything to him?
So not only did he dare to tear up his piano score, but he also smashed his piano in a fit of anger when he was in trouble, and he didn't see what this person really did to him.
It wasn't until after returning to Beijing that he accidentally learned of Xie Wei's identity.
At that moment, a gust of cold air rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her forehead, causing her to shiver coldly, and she felt a little bit afraid.
The ignorant are fearless.
Jiang Xuening drank the porridge in silence, when she thought of this, she bit the spoon in her mouth and smiled.
Xie Wei heard that he looked up at her.
Jiang Xuening's mind was distracted for a moment, revealing a bit of her nature's feet, her eyes were fixed on Xie Wei, and her figure immediately stiffened.
Xie Wei's eyes fell on the spoon she was biting.
Jiang Xuening shyly put down the spoon.
Xie Wei asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Jiang Xuening originally wanted to answer perfunctorily, but it can be seen that Xie Wei has a cold face, and he does not have a refreshing smile like before. For some reason, he feels that he is not used to it, and it is not very comfortable. He even thinks of Shen Zhiyi's side The predicament that may be faced, my heart is full of panic, in the end I still slowly said: "It's just that I suddenly feel that things are not, and people are not..."
Even though her makeup is light, she still has a bright face.
After two years, the exquisite facial features have fully grown like a peach blossom on a branch. When the thick eyelashes drooped slightly, there was a bit of tranquility and melancholy in the thin shadows cast.
Xie Wei suddenly remembered that summer day, the little green apricot on the window sill.
The faint irritability in my heart surged up again.
He once warned Zhang Zhe not to provoke any troubles, but how has his troubles been less than Zhang Zhe's? However, after all, it crossed the line and showed clues. This is never what he should do.
Xie Wei, who didn't have any appetite at all, put down the small white porcelain spoon, landed on the edge of the bowl, and made a small bumping sound for the first time, and said, "Have you read the secret letter for you?"
Jiang Xuening's fingers trembled slightly: "I've seen it."
She recalled the content of the secret letter, her eyes turned red suddenly, and she choked up with sobs: "His Royal Highness is a princess of the dynasty, of royal blood, and the Holy One is her dear brother. Why is it so cruel to ignore family affection?!"
The secret letter was originally an urgent report from the border, and it was reported as a matter of the royal court of Tatar.
One is the barbarian clan, the wolf is ambitious, and has been recharging their energy for two years, and has begun to secretly rectify the soldiers and horses, fearing that there will be changes, which will be unfavorable to the Central Plains; There will be changes in the Chatartar incident, and the secret message is to ask the court for help, hoping to escape from the royal court before the war starts!
That was Shen Zhiyi's cry for help.
In her previous life, she only knew the ending, but she didn't know that as a concubine princess, Shen Zhiyi had sent a letter asking for help to the court before the accident, and she didn't know that the emperor Shen Lang, Shen Zhiyi's elder brother, would give such a reply—
Give three feet of white silk and a cup of poisoned wine!
Before Tatar makes any move, he should kill himself first, so as to avoid being a hostage, being bullied and humiliated, and maintaining the dignity of the princess and the glory of the family and country!
Xie Wei had already read the secret letter, and asked her calmly: "Tomorrow I will leave for the border, can you go with me?"
Jiang Xuening looked at him: "What are you going to do, sir?"
Xie Wei narrowed his eyes and said, "If you don't know what to do, why did you come today?"
Jiang Xuening didn't speak.
Xie Wei said: "The Eldest Princess is not dead. When the war starts next spring, she will become a hostage, which will put the dynasty in a dilemma. The court's money and supplies are just beginning to move, and preparations are still urgent. They will never go to war in advance to save someone. You want to welcome the princess back , or welcome back the princess's coffin, it's all in this thought."
Although it was indeed expected, when Xie Wei said these words, Jiang Xuening still felt her heart tremble, and there was a feeling of being caught in the torrent——
Is there any way to welcome back the princess instead of her coffin?
She was full of emotions, closed her eyes, and clenched her hands tightly.
Xie Wei suddenly laughed: "Scared?"
Jiang Xuening gritted her teeth: "How could that be!"
Xie Weiben was the big winner in the end, and now that Yan Lin is full of wings, even if he raises an attack in advance, there may not be no chance of winning! What's more, how could she just watch the princess be given to death?
She promised.
Hold that piece of homeland and welcome her back to the homeland!
only…
Jiang Xuening slowly opened her eyes: "I promised the princess that I will not miss the appointment. But sir, have you really thought it through?"
Xie Wei's smile faded, he looked back at her, and said slowly: "I will not break my promise."
