After dinner, Qingqing did not leave Chu Yun's house, but said: Let me tell you something.

Chu Yundao: Let's talk about it.

Qingqing said: During the time I went down the mountain, I felt that the Ren family was very good, and that family was just one of my daughters. They wanted me to stay there. What do you think?

Chu Yundao: I said that I would give you a month, but I didn't say that you would be there all the time.

Qingqing said: But I didn't promise you to stay here forever. Even if what you say is true, that family is not my family, but as long as I am willing to live with them, it is all my business, and no one can stop it.

Chu Yun looked at her and was speechless. After a while, he said, "Do you know who you're talking to?"

Qingqing sneered: Naturally I know. A bandit leader deep in the mountains.

When Chu Yun saw her look like that, he felt funny. Dao: Then tell me what a bandit leader usually does when someone says no to him?

Qingqing said: Are you talking about burning, killing and looting?

Chu Yun smiled: "It's so simple, your imagination is too vulgar. After speaking, seeing that she stopped talking, he said: That's it. If you want to go down the mountain secretly, it's impossible. I'd better stay here and wait until I'm willing. Okay, you go back.

Qingqing didn't want to listen to some foul language from his mouth, so he didn't have words. And when he heard him say that, he did not linger any longer, but arose, and went out.

When I went back to the room, Qingqing was depressed, it seemed that I couldn't go back to Ren's Mansion earlier, but it was okay, it was clear in the letter, at the latest in January or February, thinking that I should be able to go down the mountain at that time.

Within a few days, Lu Shui returned to Xifeng. The day before, I went to Ren's Mansion to find Qingqing in person, but she was still not there. Although Lu Shui felt strange, he didn't want to ask in detail, so he had to go back.

It is said that in the Xifeng Palace, two little eunuchs gathered together and whispered, and one of them held a letter in his hand, which was stamped with the seal of "encryption". The two hid in the corner of the palace, one said: A few days ago, the adult asked me to send this fold in, I didn't agree that day, so I sent it, and then I sent this "encryption" fold, but it was a chore, earlier someone accepted a bribe to help an adult send a copy in, the emperor saw it, he was furious, and demoted the lord on the spot, and the palace people were even more unhappy, and the emperor expelled him from the palace to open up wasteland on the border. When I think about that situation, I feel pitiful.

Another person exclaimed: In that case, you still dare to send him this recital?

The man: Who would have thought that he would send someone to me every day to send me two taels of silver, and say that this is something that makes people enjoy wealth? As he spoke, he picked up the fold and shook it in front of his eyes. He added: Whether what he said is true, I don't know, but it is too dangerous to take this trip for him. But now the two of us are together, if it's true, we will enjoy happiness together, if it's something else, then ask my brother to help my brother.

After hearing this, I thought that I didn't need to come forward on my own, it would be good if it was really a blessing, and if it really came to that moment, it would just be a plea for mercy, and it would not hurt me. He said: Okay, that can't be helped. I don't think that the adult will hurt himself. I think there's still a chance for this, so you can just go.

The man nodded, said goodbye to him, and went to the emperor's study. At this time, in the imperial study, Yu Xuan was reviewing the folds. In recent days, more and more have been gathered, and everywhere there have been accusations that the treasury is insufficient, the fields are barren, and the peasants cannot live and work in peace and contentment. Although he proposed to Li He to borrow two silver taels last time, he agreed to it that day, but after a long time, no one sent it, and it seems that he needs to go again and ask what is going on. It was when he was troubled that he saw a eunuch bow in, bow his head and step forward and said: Your Majesty, this is an encrypted twist handed over by an adult to a slave. After speaking, he handed over the recital in his hand with both hands. The eunuch on the side hurriedly stepped forward to take it and presented it to Yu Xuan. Yu Xuan listened to the movements in his hand, took the fold, and saw the word "encryption" on it, and looked up to see the palace man below, who had been standing there with his back bowed.

Yu Xuan tore open the sealed note and flipped through the fold. Suddenly, something fell out, Yu Xuan caught it and looked at it carefully. This thing is Qingqing's jade pendant, which was also given to her by Yuxuan six years ago. When Yu Xuan saw it, he recognized it, and recalled that it was given to a little girl who had escaped from the desert six years ago. So why is it here?

Yu Xuan asked: Who presented this?

The eunuch had been standing aside, waiting for the emperor to ask questions. When he heard the voice, he was really startled, and hurriedly said: If you go back to the emperor, it was handed over to the slave by an official master. The lord said that he was the magistrate of Qipin Yamen and managed the area of Qingshui Street.

Yu Xuan said: You go out.

The man said "no" and bowed down and withdrew from the temple.

Yu Xuan looked at the jade pendant carefully, his fingers stroked the dragon and phoenix carving on it, and a trace of coolness passed over. Seeing the tassels hanging below, he suddenly showed a smile, and after putting the jade pendant close to his body, he continued to review and fold. After a while, Yu Xuan took a holy decree and handed it to the eunuch, asking him to go to the lord's mansion to announce the decree. The eunuchs who can serve the King of Qi are naturally more unusual than others, and their ability to observe words and colors is perfect, and about this matter, about this holy decree, he naturally guessed some reasons and results. After receiving the holy decree, he went straight to the lord's house.

That lord didn't think about tea and dinner for a few days, and it was all done by those eunuchs. I went to ask for it for days, but I was refused. Thinking that no one could resist the temptation of money, he sent someone to take the silver taels every day and send them to his home, and finally reluctantly agreed today. I have been waiting at home since the early hours, and I will be shocked at the slightest disturbance outside the door. When it was time for dinner, Madame invited her to eat. I didn't know the taste of eating, and suddenly saw the servants in the house running to report: Master, someone from the palace came outside the door, saying that it was to spread the emperor's will!

When the adults heard this, they hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and rushed out without waiting for the lady to ask. Seeing a eunuch standing outside the door waiting, holding a yellow cloth in his hand, he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: Hello father-in-law, please come in!

The father-in-law smiled and nodded, and after the two of them gave in to each other, the father-in-law walked forward, and the adult followed. When he arrived at the front hall, his father-in-law coughed and straightened his waist. Seeing this, the adults hurriedly led a group of family members and servants to kneel down in front of them. Seeing this scene, the father-in-law unfolded the yellow cloth and brought out the meaning of the holy decree one by one. At the end, he stepped forward to help the adult and said with a smile: "The servant is here to congratulate the adult! If there is anything to disturb in the future, please take care of it."

The adult took the decree from his father-in-law, and said with a smile: What my father-in-law said, if there is anything I can help, please tell my father-in-law directly. I'm afraid that there will be a lot of inconvenience for me in the future, and I ask my father-in-law to say a lot of kind words when he arrives.

My father-in-law smiled: That's nature. patted the adult's shoulder again and said, "Okay, the emperor's will has also arrived, and the slave will go back." As he spoke, he walked to the door.

The adult hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and said with a smile: Father-in-law, please wait for a while. After speaking, he glanced at the housekeeper next to him. The housekeeper was also clever, and when he saw the old man's view, he knew what was going on, so he nodded and went to the account room to get fifty taels of silver. The lord took all the money to his father-in-law, and said with a smile: This matter is annoying to my father-in-law, please accept it!

My father-in-law couldn't help it, so he had to accept it, and said with a smile: My lord is really polite! Okay, if there is anything in the future, just tell me, if you help, you should do your best.

When the adults heard this, they nodded their heads, laughed with them, and kept saying: Father-in-law walks slowly.

The father-in-law received the silver taels, and naturally he was in a good mood, and walked out of the house with a smile all the way.
