Chapter 238: Drizzling Rain

When Jiang Xuening woke up from sleep, there were already some noisy noises outside. She slept well, so she didn't feel any discomfort waking up. When she got up to tidy up, she casually asked, "Has Wei Liang entered the city?"

Lian'er and Tang'er, two maids, have also been following her recently.

At this moment, Lian'er combed her hair and smiled sweetly, saying, "I've come in. I came to see you in the morning, but when I met Mr. Xie and said you're probably still asleep, I sent him to see the farmland outside the city first. He also said that when you wake up, I'll let you know and go find him there. However, in the afternoon, I still want you to spend half an hour coming out and come back early to practice the piano."

Jiang Xuening was immediately speechless.

She still remembers last night when Xie Wei said she didn't need to practice the piano this morning and asked her to sleep in well. Unexpectedly, if I don't practice in the morning, it will still be the same in the afternoon. It's really something that Xie Ju'an can say and do.

She just doesn't have any objections either.

After hearing Lian'er say that Weiliang met Xie Ju'an, he didn't think much about it. After eating some Congee, he went to see Shen Zhiyi's clothes first, teased the little Shen Jia who was already babbling, and then asked someone to prepare the car and go out of the city to find Weiliang.

When she left the mansion, the message was delivered to Xie Wei.

Jianshu said, "Before leaving, Miss Ning went to see the princess again."

Xie Wei sat in the pavilion brewing tea.

The osmanthus planted around has a faint fragrance.

Upon hearing this, he furrowed his brows lightly, and a faint hint of Yin Wu flashed through his eyes. However, with an ordinary tone, he asked, "Shen Zhiyi didn't talk to her nonsense, did she?"

Jianshu shook his head and said, "Never before."

Xie Wei finally caught his eye, took a cup of tea, and poured the purple sand tea cover with the first hot cup of tea.

After a while, he said again, "She's quite clever. The city is chaotic, and the princess's safety is always on the line."

Jianshu understood and only said, "Yes."

Xie Wei said nothing and calmly brewed tea, as if waiting for someone.

After about half a quarter, Dao Qin led people into the garden.

Xie Wei grabbed an empty tea cup and stood on the steps by the pavilion, looking up.

Zhang Zhe was not dressed in official attire, dressed in a simple navy blue robe. His solemn face, as usual without a smile, was like a pine and cypress rooted in rocky cliffs and unmoved by wind and rain, or like a firm rock towering against the frost and snow, making people feel a bit calm.

A person's temperament is almost immediately apparent.

Without fear or concealment, two or three years have passed and I am still pure and upright.

Gripping his fingers tightly while playing with the tea cup, Xie Wei slowly relaxed his emotions. As he saw the person approaching, he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang came from the capital. Xie was busy with something and couldn't personally welcome him. He only sent people below him, and I still understand."

Zhang Zhe was originally a quiet and reserved person, but when faced with someone as eloquent as Xie Wei, he naturally appeared to speak less.

And he knows he doesn't have any chemistry with Xie Wei.

At this moment, he arched his hand and said, "The court has an order to come and lobby. Thank you, Young Master."

He had set off from the capital last night and arrived at Zhending Prefecture in the early morning. Unexpectedly, he was still at the post station outside the city gate when he was stopped by a group of people and temporarily refused to leave.

The leader is the sword and qin beside Xie Wei.

It is said that their husband has heard of his grand visit, and due to the chaos of the world, they specially sent someone to come and receive him, so as not to turn around and cause trouble, and be reprimanded by the court for "beheading the envoy.". However, Xie Wei is also busy with matters, so I'm afraid I'll trouble him to wait a bit.

So unexpectedly, they were not allowed to enter the city.

As it was almost noon, someone from Zhending Mansion said something to Daoqin before finally starting again and meeting Xie Wei here.

Xie Wei looked at him and said, "At first I heard that I was dizzy when I was still in the court. Mr. Zhang is neither in the Ministry of Rites nor in Honglu Temple. He is just a minister of the Ministry of Justice who has nothing to do with this matter, and he is not good at speaking. The emperor sent you to be a lobbyist, which is really unique and surprising."

There is a hint of probing in these words.

Zhang Zhe had two hands in his hands, his wide sleeved robe hanging down, but he didn't speak in a roundabout manner. He only said, "They thought that in the Battle of Tongzhou, I would do my best with Young Master and have a connection with Miss Jiang. They should be the most suitable person."

When Xie Ju'an listened to the "Battle of Tongzhou", he didn't feel much, but when he heard the word "there is a reason", he somehow felt a continuous stream of sour gas surging out.

He sneered, "Unfortunately, the court was wrong."

Zhang Zhe and he were not just colleagues who had jointly eradicated the Heavenly Cult, but even when they were in Tongzhou, they were already very difficult to deal with, or in other words, he was very taboo about this person.

Zhang Zhe didn't speak.

Xie Wei said again, "Come and be a lobbyist. You should have a chip. What chip did the court give you?"

Zhang Zhedao said, "Jiang Mansion."

As is well known, regardless of whether it is true or false, Xie Wei claims to be from the Xie family in Jinling. After a person ascends to the capital, he is the only one with the same surname Xie in the government, without any relatives or reasons.

And the news of Jiang Xuening by his side is not difficult to gather.

After coming and going, the court thought of first controlling the Jiang Mansion as a bargaining chip to restrain Xie Wei, which was a normal thing.

He remembered the turbulent situation in the court these days and said, "Mr. Jiang hasn't been to court for almost half a month. People inside and outside the Jiang Mansion are not allowed to enter and exit at will, so even the cook who buys groceries has to be checked three or four times before being released. Although there is no well-known house arrest, in fact, it is not nearly the same."

Xie Wei felt amused upon hearing it.

He turned the white porcelain tea cup around in his hand and gently placed it back on the tea table. Not only was there no mercy between his eyebrows and eyes, but there was also a hint of interest in his smile: "This is good. Recently, I have been thinking of the grievances Ning Er suffered a few years ago. They were unlucky, so I didn't have to turn back and specifically look for their misfortunes."

Zhang Zhe looked at him.

Xie Wei didn't realize how much he had said, nor did he avoid his gaze. He even turned his head to him and said, "Speaking of which, Jiang Boyou was quite envious of Lord Zhang back then, and I had some old friends with him. When Lord Zhang returned to Beijing, I might as well bring a message for Xie, asking him not to worry too much. I have taken good care of Ning Er."

The words fell to the ground, somewhat tinged with anger.

It was clear that he had not said a word yet, but he was impatient and said: "Xie and Yan Shizi were returning to Beijing on behalf of the Royal Highness Princess. They raised the flag of King Qin, and asked Lord Zhang to go back and report truthfully. After two days, the army will have a good rest, and will surely wipe out the Tianjiao, save the imperial court from fire and water, and eliminate the rebellion from the Forbidden City."

This is a direct order to expel customers.

Zhang Zhe won't be unable to hear it.

Just following Shen Lang's instructions, sending him to lobby was just a cover up. Whether to see Xie Wei and Yan Lin, and what kind of negotiation can be reached, it doesn't matter that much.

A gust of autumn wind blows.

The sky, which was originally covered with a few white clouds, drifted with large, low and dark clouds, and the lazy sunshine that had fallen in front of the steps faded a bit.

It seems like it's going to rain.

He stood under the pavilion, looked up, and now this place remembered that time and that place.

It's just that summer is already over.

A autumn rain and a cold, this courtyard is devoid of the lotus leaves and blooming flowers that once filled the lake of the summer resort.

At this moment, he should have saluted Xie Wei and then bid farewell.

Just stopped when it was time to turn around.

The thin eyelids lifted, with a hint of sharpness that was not smooth. Zhang Zhe stared at him for a moment and then said, "It's fake that Shen Lang sent me to lobby. I saw the princess in the dark and it's true. I have another item to deliver."

Xie Wei's pupils contracted sharply.

However, Zhang Zhe didn't say anything anymore. He just arched his hand and turned down the steps, heading straight to meet Shen Zhiyi.

Knife, qin, sword, and book stood by, all amazed.

When Zhou Yinzhi came to Xinzhou earlier, he also delivered something to His Royal Highness Royal Highness Princess.

Xie Wei is aware of it.

There was only one thing that she had shown kindness to Jiang Xuening, and two things that still had some value for utilization. He did not ask anyone to investigate what it was, and Shen Zhiyi did not show any unusual behavior.

Now there's another Zhang Zhe

Why did he tell Xie Wei so clearly about what he should have done to cover up?

Jianshu frowned and said, "Why don't we send someone to stop him?"

Xie Wei remembered that when he was in Tongzhou, he searched through the secret letter he had written to the Heavenly Sect as a Dujun with his sword, qin, and book. However, when he turned his head, it was in Zhang Zhe's hand. However, he did not use this thing for any writing, only returned it to him.

Now there is another mention of Shen Zhiyi

The mismatch between him and Zhang Zhe is well known to each other. He wouldn't think that the other party, who is so solitary and unsociable, would form cliques and stand on his side. In fact, when he returned the confidential letter to him, he had a murderous heart.

But at that time, he was still someone in Ning Er's heart

At the thought of this, Xie Wei pursed his thin lips even tighter, his face covered in frost, and ultimately suppressed the surging emotions, saying, "No need."

I'm not afraid of the situation itself.

What I'm afraid of is not knowing about it.

Seeing the gloomy and rainy sky, he became increasingly frustrated and decided to brush his sleeves before leaving, leaving a message: "After seeing Shen Zhiyi, tell him to leave quickly. Don't let him stay in the city for a moment!"

Dao, Qin, Jian, and Shu have been with him for many years, let alone since this morning when they have been working. How could they not know what he truly fears below his words?

Finally managed to get rid of Miss Ning Er.

If these two people were to meet up

The two of them exchanged a glance, tacit agreement.

Xie Wei returned to his room and, feeling uneasy, flipped out a scroll of Daoist scriptures to read. After a moment of silence, he could hear the rustling outside the window, realizing that it was actually raining.

Autumn leaves drift yellow, desolate and cold.

After watching for a while, the restlessness in his heart was washed away. At this moment, he remembered that Ning Er would come back later to practice the piano. He put down the Taoist scripture in his hand, took off a piano hanging on the wall, untied the piano bag, and carefully tuned it.

Yesterday, when he was listening to Ning Er play, one of the strings relaxed slightly. Although the sound he played was only a millimeter apart, if he didn't adjust for a day and every day he was almost a millimeter apart, then he didn't know where the difference was.

The slender fingers tightened the strings bit by bit.

Xie Wei thought to himself that since it was raining outside, the little scammer and Wei Liang would not continue to be busy in the fields. They should have returned earlier, so he stopped his fingers and ordered Jian Shu to say, "It's cool outside and the rain is heavy. Tell the kitchen to prepare a bowl of ginger soup to ward off the cold."

Jianshu was ordered to make a trip.

However, when he returned, his expression was somewhat off.

Xie Wei stood by the piano table, leaning his hand diagonally on the piano. As soon as he had finished tuning the previous string, he lightly flicked it with his hand, and the vibrato murmured. A hint of smile appeared on his lips.

It's just that it's a purchased piano, it's better to make it yourself.

When I have free time in the future, it's time to take a photo for Ning Er Zhuo.

===Kunning Section 294===

He saw Jianshu come back and casually asked, "Has the person come back?"

Jian Shu bent her knees and half knelt: "Miss Ning Er came back earlier due to the rain. She was driving at the city gate and happened to bump into Mr. Zhang. She... it's all because of my subordinates' incompetence in handling things!"

He hung his head and dared not lift it.

I dare not even say exact words.

The curve on Xie Wei's lips froze for a moment, then slowly dissipated bit by bit, like a page of colorful paintings in water, slowly fading away, becoming a particularly calm and frightening black and white.

I didn't blame them.

His gaze rested on the trembling string, and he asked softly, "Ning Er went to find him, didn't he?"

Jianshu felt unprecedentedly suppressed: "Sir..."

It seemed as if a piercing pain was piercing in, and Xie Wei's fingers resting on the piano gradually tightened. He couldn't resist the deep and fierce aura. With his eyes down, he grabbed the piano and smashed it into the corner of the table.

There was a loud crash.

The piano has come loose and the strings have broken.

He stood silently, looking expressionless.

My slender fingers were hanging on my side, and a strand of blood flowed down the cut wood.

Outside the window, there is a drizzling rain.
