Chapter 22: Floating Dreams Are Short
Outside the street, it was already the fifth watch.
Su Zhu suddenly opened his eyes, seeing that the room was still dark, he couldn't help but lose his mind, why did he sleep so calmly tonight, he almost forgot about business, Ziyu must have been waiting outside the house.
Pulling open the thin quilt covering his body, Su Zhu was slightly stunned, this is what he helped himself cover. Thinking of the ridiculous night last night, my face suddenly flushed. I don't know when he left, it's five watches, I think I'm in a hurry to go to the morning court!
Su Zhu wanted to call Ziyu in first, but he just got together, but he saw that he was still wearing the light gauze clothes, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, he shook his head, so he went to change into a bed clothes first, and after lighting the candle, he softly called Ziyu who had been waiting outside the door in.
Ziyu heard the lord of the house call her, knocked on the door a few times, then pushed the door in, and then knelt respectfully beside Su Zhu, curled her hair and sideburns, and waited for Su Zhu to get up and wash in the morning.
At this time, Ziyu also changed out of the sassy men's dress, and restored the red makeup of her daughter's house. A well-fitting purple beautiful dress, with long hair shoulder to shoulder, tied with a hairband of the same color, her eyes are as bright as stars, and there is no extra bead embellishment on her body, but it is difficult to hide the essence of beauty.
Although the Lord got up later than usual today, Ziyu still couldn't help but be curious and didn't ask questions, but quietly helped the Lord comb his long hair as straight as a spring waterfall as in the past.
Su Zhu smiled unconsciously, this weekday, Ziyu's girl's mouth is like a bird, but now she is becoming more and more honest and quiet, and she is a little unaccustomed to it.
"What's the matter, but you have something to ask?"
Su Zhu blinked, and there was no strictness between master and servant in his words, but a little more cordial and gentle.
"Lord, you ...... Have you taken a fancy to the one who is called Shlauzi?"
Ziyu has been by the Lord's side for many years, and she has never seen her so gentle with any man.
Su Zhu smiled, it seems that even Ziyu didn't recognize it, what about the true face of this Xiaoyaosheng, Su Zhu's eyes flowed, and he was hesitating whether to sue Ziyu, Xiaoyaosheng was the future aunt she sneered at and hated to the bone?
After meeting Gao Chen that night, Ziyu has never waited to see Gao Chen, she has been loyal to Su Zhu's side, and she can't tolerate anyone bullying the master.
"That Xiaoyao is really hateful, we originally had a good plan, but this was mixed up by him, and we have to redeploy!"
Ziyu was a little indignant.
Originally, tonight's combing ceremony was originally set up to invite the fake free student, that is, Chen Si into the urn. Because they have already found out that this person is most likely a spy sent by a certain country, and the identity of this person seems to be unusual.
In order not to startle the snake and catch them all, the lord set up this bureau to lure him into the urn, and while trying to drag Chen Si in an idea, he lured the snake out of the hole, so that the forces lurking in the capital behind him surfaced and threw themselves into the net.
The original plan went very smoothly, and Chen Si was also a freak, obviously a spy of the enemy country, and he knew how to use Li Daitao's strategy to successfully lurk in the capital and escape the tracking of the secret agents, but his behavior was so indulgent that he didn't know how to restrain himself, but it became more and more eye-catching. This man's mind really can't be measured according to common sense!
No, as soon as the rumor that the top brand of the Drunken Immortal Building, the Suzhu girl, was disdainful, he leaned over to Luo Wang, and the lord made a little trick, and he willingly jumped into the trap.
But I didn't expect to kill an obstacle halfway, look at the situation, it seems that this person is the real free life, but I didn't expect to be stirred up by him, and things will develop in another direction, which also forced Ziyu and the others to change their plans without waiting for the rabbit.
"I don't know what that Xiaoyao Sheng said to that Chen Si in the end, so that Chen Si fainted on the spot......"
Thinking of this, Ziyu was also a little curious, and couldn't help but ask.
Chen Si didn't really faint, but took advantage of this expedient measure to get out. His identity must have been recognized by that carefree student, but if he made a few threatening words, Chen Si was in a hurry to get out, so he naturally didn't dare to entangle him more!"
Su Zhu used a wooden comb to manage his long hair hanging down on the sideburns, while thinking about last night's clever serial schemes, step by step tricks and tricks, such a thoughtful and resourceful person, it seems that he really underestimated him!
"In this way, Chen Si is not stupid, but that carefree life is inevitably too deep in the city, right?"
If such a person cannot be used for himself, then it will be a curse to keep it!
Ziyu said this to remind the Lord, and by the way, to find out what the Lord's attitude was towards this person.
Yes, Ziyu is right, can such a person really be completely controlled and controlled by himself?
"You...... Like...... Me?"
For some reason, this sentence suddenly came to mind, and Su Zhu's heart couldn't help but be confused, and the hand holding the wooden comb pressed heavily on the dresser.
"Gao Wei's eyes are sharp, his ambitions are too big, and he will be difficult to control in the future, and that Gao Chen can be completely controlled by you and used by you!"
The words of the imperial grandmother's words are still in my ears.
Su Zhu suddenly felt sad in his heart, between himself and him, can there really only be conspiracy and power tricks, and calculate each other?
"I'm afraid you can't kill him, because he's your future aunt!"
Su Zhu said this lightly, and continued to comb his long hair.
"What, what ......"
Ziyu was dumbfounded, she couldn't have imagined that such a person with the tricks of the city government was actually the waste who seemed to be full of money last time? But after thinking about it, she felt that it was not right, and this anger rose up at once, and said:
"That person is actually Gao Chen? Damn, he is obviously a person who wants to be a concubine, why do you dare to linger in the land of fireworks and be unclear with other women......?
The more Ziyu spoke, the more angry she became, and she actually forgot to be proportionate.
Before Ziyu could finish speaking, Su Zhu interrupted her with a hint of a hint, and said:
"My marriage with him is involuntary, and I will be a husband and wife of a fake phoenix in the future, do I want him to guard himself for me, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, if he has a woman outside who is used to and raised, what does it have to do with me?!"
In the end, some of the youngest daughters' families knocked down the vinegar jar, which was sour and a little weird.
Ziyu immediately closed her mouth with interest, if this lord gets angry, the consequences will be very strict!
Coincidentally, someone outside the house asked to see him, and it was the owner of this drunken fairy building, the old bustard!
Ziyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly went to invite the old bustard in, she was nominally the proprietress of this drunken immortal building, but she was also one of the secret agents secretly cultivated by the lord, and this drunken immortal building was one of the strongholds of the secret agents, specializing in collecting intelligence and accumulating wealth for the organization.
Although the organization was subordinate to the imperial court, it was a secret agency and was not known to others, so it could not be allocated from the treasury in an open manner, which required the organization itself to raise money. And this drunken immortal building is the place with the widest source of wealth.
The old bustard restrained his usual appearance of loving money like his life, and also respectfully saluted Su Zhu, knelt down on one knee, and said seriously:
"My subordinates have seen the Lord!"
On weekdays, she is used to seeing the old bustard's appearance of worshipping high and stepping low, greedy for money and profit, and Ziyu is a little unaccustomed to the serious, respectful and polite proprietress in front of her.
It is also thanks to her image of loving money and life that it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so it is not easy to be noticed, although this drunken fairy building is the industry of the organization, but except for the old bustard and one or two stewards who are secret agents of the organization, everyone else is an ordinary person who doesn't know anything.
It is precisely because of such a rigorous style of conduct that the preservation of the organization has always been a secret in the imperial court!
"Mom doesn't have to be like this, get up quickly!"
According to her seniority, Su Zhu has to call her aunt!
This organization was inherited by Su Zhu from the imperial grandmother, and these capable generals were all ministers who assisted the imperial grandmother wholeheartedly.
Ziyu hurriedly picked up the seat cushion, respectfully handed it to the old bustard's feet, and then stepped aside.
"The rules cannot be abolished, and it is natural for subordinates to meet the Lord!"
After speaking, the old bustard knelt on the cushion and glanced at Ziyu, which frightened Ziyu all over, as if accusing her of being a girl who never knew how to follow the rules.
Su Zhu couldn't help but smile bitterly when she saw it, her mother's personality was completely opposite to Aunt Luo Xia, Aunt Luo Xia had a generous personality, while her mother seemed a little strict, even Su Zhu was afraid of her.
She and Aunt Luo Xia have always served by the imperial grandmother's side, just like Ziyu and Hongyu are to Suzhu, they are extremely important and indispensable right-hand men.
"Well, what my mother said is very true! But what happened, and my mother actually came to tell me in person?"
Su Zhu hurriedly diverted the topic.
"Fang Cai's subordinates came down to report, and the people sent to monitor Chen Si's master and servant followed them all the way to one of their strongholds, which was an ordinary farm yard in the southwest, I thought that someone would come to meet them, but I never thought that they actually escaped from the dark passage, and their whereabouts are unknown!"
Su Zhu was secretly taken aback, it seems that this operation ended in failure!
"Although we failed to catch them all in the end, it was not in vain, at least I knew that this group of people was a spy from Chen Guo. It seems that in this capital, there is indeed a secret stronghold of the Chen State and a force that has become powerful. Since he has taken root in the capital, he is not afraid that he will not be able to find that big tree. ”
The old bustard seemed to be very satisfied with the young master, and nodded appreciatively.
"Lost in the east, harvested mulberry. That's the second thing I'm going to tell the Lord. ”
After the old bustard finished speaking, he clapped his hands three times, and a maid pushed the door in with something in her hand, and then respectfully put the things in her hand on the table, and then bowed down and retreated.
What appears to be a painting, a letter, and a box with an engraving on it is on the table.
Su Zhu raised his eyebrows slightly, isn't that engraved seal the seal of Xiaoyaosheng?
Sure enough, when the seal was taken out from the box, the stone was indeed a high-quality Huangtian stone, and the tentacles heated up, which was absolutely extraordinary. And that name seal is indeed engraved with the words 'Xiaoyaosheng Seal' in a small seal, and there is a small gap in the corner.
These plain bamboos know, but I never thought that this section also has lettering, the handwriting is vigorous and powerful, self-contained, and it is also a small seal carving, and there are two lines of poetry written:
A dream is short, have you ever missed your youth?
Su Zhu frowned, as if he understood why he cared so much about this seal.
"This seal is what the carefree man said he was going to give to the Lord!"
Well?
Su Zhu was slightly stunned, he said that he wanted to give this seal to himself?
He said, if the Lord asks the reason, he will tell you that too many people in the capital have been thinking about Xiaoyaosheng recently, and he really shouldn't attract too much attention. And the seal was given to the Lord as an atonement for sins!"
Hehe, he's going to hide from the amorous debt owed by the fake Xiaoyaosheng, it seems that these days, he didn't dare to use the identity of Xiaoyaosheng to appear, and he didn't dare to come to her, so he took this seal to ask her to help him keep it, and second, to make amends for himself.
It's a light thing to say, do you think you can forgive him by making amends?
......
Ahem, Su Zhu was unconsciously a little distracted, and was reminded by her mother, so she hurriedly reined in her mood.
"Who sent the painting and the letter?"
Su Zhu said, then opened the painting, and when he looked at it, he couldn't help but cry and laugh, isn't this the one that Xiaoyaosheng painted at that time? When I saw it again, I actually had a feeling of becoming more and more peculiar, and even seeing two things, they were actually related to that guy!
Didn't this painting fall to the Chen family? How could someone deliberately frame this painting and send someone to give it to themselves? What other intentions did this have? Could it be that the person who sent these things had something to do with the Chen family? The Chen family was also very wealthy in the capital, so did they know something?
Su Zhu opened the letter curiously, there was a letterhead and a note inside, on which was actually a note of five thousand taels of silver, and the name on the payment actually said - Gao Chen!
She understood this time, where did Xiaoyaosheng's money come from?
Su Zhu stroked his forehead and lamented, how unlucky this is tonight, the more people who don't want to think about it, the more people desperately want to think about it!
I took the letterhead and took a look, and wrote two lines of words on it in Juan Xiu's small letters:
Today, Changchun Garden is waiting for the big shelf, Chen Xiaoyu!
Chen Xiaoyu, the daughter of Chen Yuanwai?! This is really fate!
The corners of Su Zhu's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, it seems that this weak-looking daughter is not as simple as it seems!
"Mom, is this the turning point you are talking about?"
Su Zhu knows that this is not easy.
The old bustard nodded, this is in favor of Su Zhu going to the appointment.
"Okay, then I'll go and meet this young lady!"
Outside the window, the dark sky began to turn white, and a new day began......
