Chapter 34
Chapter 34
A Xu chased after him, but Shen Yi refused to accept the move..
"Really?" A Yuan didn't understand where her young master's determination came from, "How did you know, young master?"
Because this is Xu Muzhou's method to test Shen Yi.Xu Xiuyu didn't expect to do business with the imperial court through the Prince Regent's Palace.
Xu Xiuyu is now the eldest son in charge of the Xu family. He came to propose cooperation with sufficient reasons and a qualified identity. It stands to reason that Shen Yi shouldn't have met and refused immediately.
What's more, the Xu family and the Prince Regent's House have no grudges in the past, and no enmity in the near future.
But Shen Yi did it anyway, which was tantamount to telling Xu Muzhou that he didn't want to meet Xu Xiuyu for other reasons, and what else could this "other reason" be?
Naturally, he knows that Xu Xiuyu is now obeying Xu Muzhou, that is, he has not forgotten the memory of those days in Xu's house.
Ah Yuan suddenly realized, and wanted to say that the young master is so smart!But after thinking about it, I felt something was wrong: "..but, what if Lord Shen received the eldest son? Does this mean that...he forgot about us?"
Coincidentally, at the same time that A Yuan raised his confusion, someone in the Prince Regent's Mansion on the other side of the capital also asked the same question.
——Si Heng said: "Then Zhuang Bai, you can recruit that young master Xu. If so, wouldn't Xu Muzhou make a mistake?"
You don't know him.Shen Yi thought in his heart, and only said: "He will not make a mistake, asking his elder brother to come to visit is just the first step. Even if I meet someone, Xu Xiuyu must have prepared a few questions waiting to ask Me. I don’t know at which step I will reveal my truth.”
"With Xu Xiuyu's stupid brain, he couldn't think of these things. He must have been taught by others."
"Actually, from the moment Xu Xiuyu came to visit, I haven't forgotten about him, so I'm destined to be unable to hide it."
Shen Yi saw it very clearly, and made the right decision, "It's better to reject him directly."
This is equivalent to Shen Yi expressly telling Xu Muzhou that he is not afraid of him seeing it, or in other words, it doesn't matter.
How did Xu Muzhou's temptation succeed?So what if you fail?It has nothing to do with Shen Yi.
However, to be able to come up with a bad move for Xu Xiuyu to be the stone of temptation, Shen Yi unconsciously felt a strange sense of relief and familiarity in his heart.
Because Xu Muzhou is still the same Xu Muzhou, you don't know what kind of small calculations he will have in the next moment, this treacherous energy hidden under the beautiful appearance once made Shen Yi deeply obsessed.
The person who was once obsessed by Shen Yi is sitting in his nameless courtyard at this moment, drinking the hot tea just made by the little book boy, while watching Pei Yunchu take a few flower branches and trim them.
Acting calmly, he already had a plan in mind: "Since he really remembers me, then I have to go see him."
The "meeting" that Xu Muzhou refers to here is naturally a meeting where you can sit down and discuss a few words face to face.
"No matter what reason he has, no matter his difficulty, or being coerced by others, disappearing at this wedding...he has to give me an explanation."
Zhuang Bai's disappearance also took away most of Xu Muzhou's joy. Although it has been half a year now, the feeling of being abandoned is heart-piercing and everlasting.
When Xu Muzhou thought about it, his eyes couldn't help but dim.
Seeing that the young master had a bad expression, Ah Yuan quickly put on a smiling face: "Young Master, you keep your heart in your stomach, Zhuang... Mr. Shen's affection for you, all of us can see in our eyes."
"Didn't Mr. Shen want to be with the young master at the beginning, and it will definitely not change now!"
"He must have some difficulties! You go to see him, and everyone can talk about it, and you can reconcile! But... how do you "meet" him, young master? "
On the second day, another rare visitor came outside the Prince Regent's Mansion.
It's just that the person who came this time was much more expensive than the previous eldest son Xu Xiuyu. Shen Yi didn't even have the room to refuse this person - Xu Zishan, the old man of the Xu family, visited Prince Shen's mansion in person.
Of course, this was also Xu Muzhou's strategy.
He asked Xu Xiuyu to sort out what he said yesterday about the joint business with the imperial court into a book, and hand it to the old man for review, and then said that he had no way to go.
The old man loves his eldest grandson the most. It is the first time that Xu Xiuyu has undertaken a business with the royal family since he took charge. If it can be done, Xu Xiuyu, the "head of the family", will be able to gain a firm foothold.
So Xu Zishan was determined to visit Shen's house once for this purpose.
As for Xu Muzhou himself, he was wearing simple civilian clothes at this time, pretending to be an accountant, and followed Xu Xiuyu.
It's not that his true face is shameful, but that he plotted against the old man of the Xu family in order to meet Shen Yi, but he didn't know that he would visit the Xu family when he came to the capital from Xialiang County.
He also didn't want to get involved with the current Xu family, so he could save a lot of trouble by dressing up in disguise.
It's just that Xu Muzhou may not know that his face is [-]-[-]% similar to his father Xu Huan when he was young.
Logically speaking, even after 12 years, the old man should have seen something strange at a glance.But Xu Zishan didn't seem to recognize him at all. He didn't respond at all to the unfamiliar accountant brought by his eldest grandson.
In fact, this situation went smoothly beyond Xu Muzhou's expectations, and he had even thought about how his "counter" should respond if the old man questioned it.
But he was eager to see Shen Yi, and he couldn't care less about the old man's attitude.
The housekeeper of the Prince Regent's Mansion invited them into the mansion and placed them in the main hall, and the Prince Regent, Shen Yi, was waiting for them there.
After half a year, seeing that person's face at such a close distance again, even though Xu Muzhou had already made mental preparations, the throbbing in his heart was still so strong that he could not ignore it.
Staring at Shen Yi secretly for a while, his eyes finally fell on the swollen belly.
At the beginning of the acquaintance, Zhuang Bai talked nonsense about "giving birth to a doll". Who knew that the doll is really there now, but when he and the child's father meet again, it will be like this.
Shen Yi's stomach seemed to move, and he adjusted his sitting posture slightly.
But in Xu Muzhou's eyes, this scene made him, the old iron tree that hadn't bloomed for thousands of years, feel warm and weak, wanting to touch that cute and plump protrusion.
However, Shen Yi's expression did not change at all.
Xu Muzhou was standing behind Xu Xiuyu's chair, so close to Shen Yi, he had clearly seen it, but turned a blind eye, and asked the old man politely:
"Why did Grandpa come in person? It's really frustrating to the younger generation. If there is anything, please send a message. The younger generation should come to visit your old man."
Xu Zishan is a great hero of Fengguo. When the late emperor was around, he was supposed to be promoted to a rank, but he was unwilling to accept it. So up to now, the Xu family has no actual official title except for the name of "noble merchant".
Everyone called Xu Zishan, and they could only call him Grandpa Xu, nothing else.
Mr. Xu is a self-acquaintance. He didn't have much contact with the Shen family before, but now he treats Shen Yi as a friend who forgets his age: "It's not because of my family's rain repair."
"The old man is just worried about his life. Lord Shen still doesn't understand it now, but he should understand it after a while. Haha, it's the same for elders."
Shen Yi couldn't help covering his abdomen with the hem of his clothes, vaguely feeling that the old man meant something.But from Xu Zishan's face, nothing can be seen.
At this time, Xu Muzhou, as the accountant, walked up to the Prince Regent instead of Xu Xiuyu, holding a slip of papers in his hand: "Last time, I think the prince was busy, and my eldest son missed the opportunity to meet the prince."
"But the Eldest Young Master has put his mind to the idea, and still wants to ask the prince to take a look."
There was something in Xu Muzhou's words, he wasn't talking about Xu Xiuyu, he was clearly talking about himself.
Because of the disguise, people who are not familiar with Xu Muzhou will naturally not be able to recognize him for a while, but it is not difficult to find the clues after a closer look.
Si Heng and Shen Jinghe, who were sitting on Shen Yi's side, had good eyesight, and they could tell that something was wrong with the accountant.
It seems... Could it be Xu Muzhou?
Both of them were surprised, Si Heng was surprised that Xu Muzhou had come to the capital, and was even standing in their Prince Regent's mansion now!
As for Jing He, his mood is too complicated.
"What the eldest son wants to do this time is the business of "running errands".This kind of idea is novel, and it is an unprecedented ingenuity. For the convenience of the prince and the emperor, it has been compiled into a volume. "
"It's just that there are many details in it. I wonder if the prince would like to listen to you and tell you a little bit?" Xu Muzhou tried his best to fight for the opportunity to speak with Shen Yi alone.
Mr. Xu said at this moment: "Hey, you are not sensible, there are many people in this capital, if you want to talk to the regent, you should go to the back hall where there is no one."
"In this way, the old man and Lord Shen can rest assured."
Xu Muzhou was surprised, he never thought that the old man would intervene at this time.Although the intention is not yet clear, but in terms of the result, it should be counted as... helping him?
Shen Yi's expression remained the same, it didn't look like he wanted to go to the back hall alone with this "counter".
At this time, Shen Jinghe stood up and took the Chinese scroll in Xu Muzhou's hand: "Grandpa Xu's thinking is reasonable, even in the place where you live every day, you should be careful that the walls have ears, we people in the capital, if we are not used to it, we have to get used to it. "
"It's just that Grandpa Xu is here. As the head of the family, how can my cousin leave the distinguished guests behind? Why don't I go to the back hall with this accountant to discuss everything clearly?"
With Xu Muzhou's status, he has no right to choose, and can only wait for Shen Yi to make a decision.
And Shen Yi seemed to think for a moment, and showed the first smile in today's meeting, but this smile made Xu Muzhou feel strange.
Perhaps Shen Wangye wanted to tell him that what was in front of him now was not Zhuang Bai who had lost his memory in Xu's house, but the regent Shen Yi who had killed countless people and used thunderous methods.
Shen Yi took the scroll from Shen Jinghe's hand, put it aside casually, and said: "You don't have to go. I will forward this scroll to Your Majesty. It's just that everyone in my house doesn't know how to do business, so whoever is going to Don't get involved, it's the safest way."
"Naturally, I won't watch either."
