Chapter 214: Searching for Chapters
Zhao Shuo sent his father-in-law and mother-in-law away, with a smug smile on his face, and went to the east courtyard to see his son coming. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Zhao Mo saw his expression, he knew that he had persuaded Master Wang to lend a hand, and he didn't need to say anything, so he directly made a gesture to him: "Congratulations to my father for getting what he wanted." ”
Zhao Shuo laughed: "Good boy, he really deserves to be my son, you can guess without me saying it." ”
He sat down on the chair with a smile, saw Xiaolan bring tea up, looked at her twice, and waved her and Xiaomei to go down.
Xiaomei and Xiaolan were depressed, but they could only obey orders. Originally, I wanted to hide outside the window and eavesdrop, but who knew that Zhao Shuo or Zhao Mo didn't plan to close the door and window. All the windows and doors in the main house were wide open, and there were other servants in the courtyard doing business, and they could not hide and eavesdrop. There was no way, so they had to leave.
Zhao Shuo pretended to be inadvertent, paid attention to the back of the second daughter, and then whispered to his son: "I have ordered someone to carve the fake chapter, as long as you can fool the past, you don't have to carve it too finely, you can get it after about three or four days." It's just that when the time comes, how to convince these two girls that it is a real seal and successfully cover the fake letter will have to be thought out thoroughly. ”
Zhao Mo also lowered his voice and said: "Father, don't worry, his son has a belly case, and he should be able to fool them." After that, he attached it to Zhao Shuo's ear, and explained it like this for a while. Zhao Shuo showed a satisfied smile: "Yes, it's really thoughtful." "I picked a few innocuous little faults, made some modifications, and then made a plan.
Xiaomei and Xiaolan naturally didn't know that Zhao Mo's father and son were setting up a trap, ready to lead them to jump in. Since that day, Mr. and Mrs. Wang have come here, and the relationship between Zhao Shuo and Xiao Wang seems to have eased a bit, and they no longer quarrel every day. Zhao Shuo left home every day to go to the court and on errands, went home to see his sons, and rested in the main courtyard at night, seeing nothing unusual. Xiao Wang's family was at home, neither looking for Lan Xue's mother and son's bad luck, nor did they mean to trouble Zhao Mo, the stepson, as if they had really settled down, and even Lan Xue's son Xiao San'er washed the third, she did not come forward to provoke, but let Lan Xue gather a few maids and servants for a long time. This family seems to have suddenly entered a period of peace, and it can't even find a reason to sow discord.
However, even though the atmosphere in the house is so peaceful, Zhao Mo is still very strict with the little maids around him, and he has always not allowed the girls to leave the hospital, nor allowed the little girls to enter the second door. If it weren't for his father Zhao Shuo's summons, he would only go back and forth between the outer study and his own yard, and never go anywhere else. Every morning, I went to the outer study on time for half a day, went back to my yard for lunch, and stayed in the house honestly in the afternoon to read and practice calligraphy. He is like this himself, and the girl waiting next to him doesn't want to leave the yard and go somewhere else. Xiaomei and Xiaolan entered the house for four or five days, but they didn't even have a chance to be discharged from the hospital, and they were very anxious.
What made them even more anxious was that Zhao Mo inadvertently revealed in his conversation: "After living for a few days, it must be almost time to leave." My father was going to Changping on an errand in a few days, and he had to stay outside for at least three or four days. If I stay here, I will inevitably have to be worried, so it is better to go back to Qin's house to worry. ”
When Xiaomei and Xiaolan heard this, their faces turned white. They had discussed it in private, and they all felt that they could not delay any longer. If they wait until they leave this house with Zhao Mo, they haven't been able to complete the task assigned to them by the King of Liao and the step-concubine of the King of Liao, and they will definitely be punished when they go back!
Princess Shu can't force her to take her stepson home every time she sees Xiao Wang, right?
It just so happened that God helped them. One day, Zhao Mo went to the study outside the study early in the morning to read and do homework, and after an hour, he suddenly ordered the mother-in-law on the second door to come to the east courtyard to pass the word, and said: "Brother Mo went to the study to do his homework today, saying that he forgot to bring an important book, and ordered you to send someone to send it over." It's a blue-skinned notebook.,The words 'homework book' are written on it.。 Be quick, my brother is waiting to use it. ”
Xiaomei and Xiaolan were overjoyed, and they hurriedly responded, and when they turned around, they went to Zhao Mo's desk and bookshelf to rummage, and sure enough, from under a few books in the corner of the desk, they turned out a blue-skinned book, on which were written the words "homework book".
Xiaomei flipped through it with some curiosity, and found that it was the notes made by Zhao Mo when she was reading the book, so she said, "This must be it." It's strange, how could it be called like that?"
Xiaolan looked at the cover: "This handwriting is not written by Brother Mo, it seems to be more immature." Could it be that someone else sent it?"
Xiaomei put the book away: "It doesn't matter how it came about, we will send this book to the study, and there will be an excuse to go into the study to find the seal that the princess said." She raised her feet and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Xiaolan: "I'd better go." I'm careful. The seal that the princess showed us, I remember what it looked like. ”
Xiaomei glanced at her: "I remember it too." At the beginning, the prince and the princess specially ordered us to remember clearly, and my carefulness is not inferior to you. ”
"What's so noisy about this? Beware of delaying business. Xiaolan Zhengse said, "That's good, no matter who we go to the outer study today, we can't guarantee that we will be able to complete the errand." If it doesn't work out today, I'll change you next time, how about it?"
Xiaomei hesitated for a moment and nodded reluctantly: "Okay, you are not allowed to cheat!"
Xiaolan smiled: "Don't worry." What's so bad about that?"
She took the notebook out of the second door, because she was ordered to come down by something, and no one stopped her along the way. She successfully came to the outer study of Chao Si Wanlong, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Zhao Mo sitting behind the bookcase. She couldn't help but hold her breath, because it was the seat of Zhao Shuo, the male master of the house, but now she lent it to her son. She probably only needs to stand by Zhao Mo's side for a moment to find Zhao Shuo's private seal!
Zhao Mo was practicing calligraphy, and out of the corner of his eye, he had already seen Xiaolan come in, but he pretended not to see it, but she didn't move for a long time, he was impatient to wait, so he took the pen and raised his head: "Why is it so slow?
Xiaolan came back to her senses and hurriedly presented the book with both hands. Zhao Mo took the book and looked at it: "That's it." Okay, that's all right, you can go back. ”
How could Xiaolan be willing to go back like this? She had already quickly looked at the layout in the study, and said softly: "Brother, you don't have anyone to wait here, I'll stay?"
Zhao Mo said: "No need. There's someone waiting for me here. As he was talking, Jiang Cheng walked in from outside the door: "Brother, there are a few distinguished guests outside, all of whom are uncles from your clan." Uncle told you to come and pay a visit, and you will have lunch later. ”
Zhao Mo hurriedly responded and said to Xiaolan: "I won't go back at noon, you can eat by yourself." With that, he left the outer study with Jiang Cheng.
Xiaolan couldn't believe that she was so lucky! Even the only obstacle was gone, she didn't look for things at this time, when would she wait?
She quickly searched around the bookcase. It's a pity that there is no trace of Zhao Shuo's private seal before and after the bookcase, but there is a spare seal, which is placed diagonally on the edge of the printing box on the side of the inkstone.
She turned her gaze to the shelves and cabinets on both sides of the wall, and was about to go over to look for them, but she heard someone enter the room, and she hurriedly ran back to the bookcase and stood, making a look of not squinting.
The person who came was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old servant, quite handsome, neatly dressed, and seemed to be the one waiting in this study. When he saw Xiaolan staying alone in the study, he was still a little puzzled: "Where are you a girl, what are you doing here?"
Xiaolan had to answer: "I'm Brother Mo'er's girl." My brother forgot to bring a book today, so he ordered someone to send a message back to the East Courtyard and asked me to bring it over. Just now, the uncle ordered Steward Jiang to call his brother out, saying that he wanted to meet a few distinguished guests. I'm afraid that my brother will still have orders, so I don't dare to leave lightly, and I'm waiting for him to come back here. ”
The little guy suddenly realized and said with a smile: "I know, you are Xiaolan, right? I thought you had already gone back to the East Courtyard. My brother went to see the guests, and he wouldn't come back without lunch. You're waiting here for nothing, so let's go back first. Then he stepped forward to pack up the stationery on the bookcase, pressed the paper with a paperweight, covered the inkstone, put the used pen into the water bowl to wash and hang up, poured the water in the water bowl into the urn under the window sill, picked up the idle chapter, walked to a small cabinet in the corner, took out a key from his waist to open the lock, and took out a book inside.
Xiaolan's pupils contracted rapidly, staring at the book. The little guy opened the book cover, revealing the contents inside. It turned out that it was not a real book, but a multi-treasure box made into a thick book, which was divided into compartments and various seals. The most conspicuous party in the right way, the big red robe bloodstone seal, is the goal of her and Xiaomei's trip.
As early as in the Liao Wang's Mansion, the step-concubine of the Liao King gave them a detailed introduction to the appearance of the seal. In fact, whether it is the king of Liao or the step-concubine of the king of Liao, they have not paid much attention to this seal, it is the second young master Zhao Li in the early years for some reason, I have observed it in private, only to know that it is carved from the bloodstone of a good red robe, I heard that it is the marriage of the Tang family of the concubine of the Liao king in the past. The eldest young master Zhao Shuo liked that this square seal stone was red, symbolizing the birth of the main room, so he made a private seal with it, and it was tightened very tightly on weekdays. It was not easy for the three of Liao's step-concubine mother and son to collect an old letter printed with this seal pattern, but unfortunately the imprint on it has been somewhat blurred due to the age and poor preservation, otherwise it can be imitated by the imprint and a fake one. But in order not to be discovered, it is safer to use the real seal.
Seeing that the target was close at hand, Xiaolan couldn't help but take two steps forward. However, after the little guy put the idle medal into the treasure box, he quickly put the lid on the box, put the treasure box back in the cabinet, closed the cabinet door, and took the key to lock it. From start to finish, his movements are sharp. Unless Lan risks knocking him out, there's no way she'll get past him and steal the seal.
Of course, she couldn't startle the snake, so she could only reluctantly look at the cabinet door, racking her brains to figure out how to steal it. She couldn't help but secretly pay attention to the keychain on the little girl's waist a few more times.
The little girl turned around, saw that she was still there, and rolled her eyes: "Why don't you leave? Go quickly, this is not the place for you girls!"
Xiaolan reluctantly walked into the second gate, because she was still a little absent-minded because she was worried about the seal. When she reached the second gate, she almost bumped into Frost head-on.
Shuang'er recognized her and took a sip: "Don't you have long eyes?!You're walking around, where are you going?"
Where did Xiaolan have the leisure to take care of her? said casually: "I sent something to my brother in the outer study, and I was about to go back to the East Courtyard." After saying that, he hurriedly left, not noticing that Shuang'er frowned, looking at her back, his face showing a little vigilance.
