Chapter 326 Unreliable Jing Niang

Zhou Xian walked to the high-level residence hall in the ceremony hall and realized that today was not a good weather, and Tokyo was not a good place... dry and cold! It didn't snow or rain, the sky was gray, but it was very cold.

She could see the messenger waiting in the hall clearly at a glance, and she felt that this person was very annoying. Maybe there was no one around Zhou Duan. The messenger was indeed sent by Zhou Duan. Zhou Xian recognized him and had sent two messages before.

"Take it." Zhou Xian suddenly seemed very rude.

The messenger had to respectfully take out the letter and hand it over it. After receiving it, Zhou Xian said angrily: "Don't send a letter if you have anything to do or not!"

"Where did the villain wrong?" The messenger looked puzzled.

Zhou Xian came to his senses, said nothing, turned around and left. She went back and opened the letter randomly, and read it up in dismay, only to think that Zhou Duan was talking nonsense, all about their leaving Tokyo, it was a purely polite letter.

She sat dullly next to a round table, her snow-white teeth bit her vermilion lips, and thought to herself: I will never take the initiative to have anything to do with him, that's it! Even if he wants to meet again now, I won't agree.

At this moment, the servant who had just come to report the message came in and said, "Madam, someone wants to see you again, he is a woman."

"No!" Zhou Xian blurted out.

The servant was startled and whispered: "Then I'll go and reject her, what excuses should I make..."

"Wait." Zhou Xian frowned, "Since it's a woman, please bring her in, and ask what's wrong."

"Here." The servant responded.

After a while, a tall and plump beautiful woman with a cold expression was brought in. She was wearing a lapel robe. Looking at her expression, she seemed to be a noble lady with a status than Zhou Xian... But Zhou Xian recognized her, and she was just a follower beside Guo Shao, so she was called Jing Niang. Jing Niang looked at Zhou Xian and said with a complicated expression: "Madam Li, can you speak with a step?"

This woman deliberately took the three words of Mrs. Li very seriously, and seemed to have a faint tone of contempt.

"Come here." Zhou Xian glanced at the doors and windows and said calmly.

The woman approached and said coldly: "My son, afraid that you can't confirm that it was the one he sent, so he sent me specially. Have you seen me? If it weren't for this, I really didn't want to do such a thing."

Zhou Xian said coldly: "What kind of serious business does he have? You can speak directly, not to mention those useful or useless."

Jingniang said: "When you go out and turn left and then walk south, you will see Daxiangguo Temple, the largest 'Tokyo Spring Tea' building in the north of the temple. Go upstairs to meet my Alang."

Jingniang's tone was very stiff: "Your husband is now going to meet the Minister of Rites, and he will not come back until dark."

Zhou Xian said coldly: "He found out very clearly."

Jingniang said, "What inquiries? Wang Pu invited your husband, who was instigated by Alang, and said that he should make friends with the Southern Tang Kingdom."

Jing Niang's tone made Zhou Xian feel an insult, and she was both ashamed and annoyed. She blurted out: "No! What kind of thing he wants to do is to be honest and openly? I am not someone else, and I have any friendship. Why can he come and go as soon as he calls me?"

"I really won't go?" Jing Niang asked, looking up and down Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian said: "If you say you can't go, you won't go. You can leave, and you won't stay with you."

Jing Niang nodded: "Then I can go back and say something."

After Zhou Xian waited for her to leave, he grabbed the teacup on the table and wanted to fall down in the air, but in the end he put it back on the table. Her chest was so angry that her face fluttered and her face was turbulent.

After procrastinating for a long time, she realized that this matter was completely because of the poor work of the Beijing girl, otherwise why would Guo Shao have done so much trouble? But Guo Shao didn't seem to have a better choice. Such as this kind of private appointment to go out, she must be sure that it was sent by Guo Shao; otherwise, Zhou Xian would not go out easily for safety. Zhou Xian could not confirm Guo Shao's handwriting. What handwriting could the letter last time have, written on his left hand!

Zhou Xian thought he could not blame Guo Shao, but the most unreliable person was the woman! But there was only such a person around him who had seen him.

She understood that it had nothing to do with Guo Shao, but her mood had been completely destroyed. If it were normal, she would never have hesitated... But today was the last chance to say goodbye.

Zhou Xian hesitated for a while and always felt unable to rest. At this moment, he was very impetuous and had no mood to do anything at all, just worried about what had just happened.

"Come!" She finally shouted, stood up, frowned, "Go and ask someone to prepare the carriage and horses, I'll go to my cousin's house and say goodbye to her."

The servant went out. Zhou Xian hurriedly went into the house and found a newer outfit to put on. After looking at the bronze mirror, he quickly changed his clothes. Then he cleaned up his hair in front of the mirror and applied some light makeup to modify it, especially his lips. He had not adapted to the winter climate in Tokyo, and his hair was a little dry, so he needed to apply some rouge to look better.

After a while, Zhou Xian thought that he had rejected Jing Niang just now, and Guo Shao was still waiting in the teahouse. This powerful general probably doesn’t have so much spare time to do such useless things.

Zhou Xian was suddenly depressed and felt that nothing was going well today! Nothing was done well!

At this moment, the servant said, "Madam, the carriage and horse are ready."

"Yeah." Zhou Xian stood up expressionlessly with a face held back. He did this with no goal at all. Maybe... he could go to say goodbye to Chen Jiali, but he had nothing to do. Although she was intrigued by Chen Jiali, the conflict had not reached the point where she wanted to tear her face and never interact with each other. Isn't the relationship between the aristocratic palaces the same?

The streets of Tokyo are still very peaceful. Although this is a war-torn country, it is the capital. Each street has at least one official shop, and there are tolerances on duty to maintain public security day and night. There are also imperial guards on the important roads.

Zhou Xian took a carriage and arrived at Chen Jiali's mansion in the west of the city.

As soon as he said he wanted to say goodbye to Chen Jiali, Chen Jiali covered her mouth and chuckled softly: "I think you want to ask someone to help me, right?"

Zhou Xian said: "We are going to set off for Jinling tomorrow. He sent someone to say goodbye, but I refused. Now I'm afraid we'll leave when we go to the place where he meets."

"Where is it?" Chen Jiali said, "If my cousin regrets rejecting him, it will not be a big deal. Let's go and see if he is there first; if he is gone, I will send someone to ask him to go there again. What a big deal."

Zhou Xian remained silent.

Chen Jiali looked at her with a smile, turned around and called Aunt Sun in, and ordered: "Please settle the people my cousin brought, and said she wanted to have meals at the house. In addition, she sent a few people, my cousin and I were going out."

After this, Zhou Xian said, "Just go and see. If he has left, I will send me back. It's not that important. I must meet you... I just want to thank him for helping my husband... I said parting, that's all."
