Chapter 152: After the West Wind Shakes
Looking around the four walls, the books are built all over the walls, densely packed, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the classic room of the Criminal Department, and the neatly arranged books in front of you are not scriptures, poems, nor historical documents, this is the history of the exclusive Criminal Department, from top to bottom, the books arranged by the year and the month are recorded in every criminal case handled by the Criminal Department over the years.
She wandered around the week, and then returned to the row of shelves closest to the door, scrutinizing the time on the spine of each book.
'Heaven bless February 2'
'God bless the second year of March. ’
……
It's been less than half a year, but those past years seem to be past lives.
They were all gone, leaving her alone......
She stood on tiptoe, removed a book from the first row of the shelf, opened the cover, and trembled through the heavy pages, intently searching for a record related to the word 'Lu' in each column of text.
"Yuan Xin. ”
Before she could find what she wanted to see, a clear call came from outside the door of the book room, calling a name that did not belong to her.
She turned around, looked at Yin Qixiu who was walking towards her, and put the book back to its original position without a trace, and she quickly called out a sweet smile in men's clothes: "Qi ...... No, Lord Squiro!"
She jumped in front of him, winked at him mischievously, and pretended to make an official salute: "The lower official has seen Lord Shilang." ”
She is now his squire and the courtier.
Yin Qixiu's eyes were full of love when he looked at her, he liked her to be so lively and happy, even if he was sometimes a little unreasonable, a little tempered, and a little whimsical, he could accept it, but he felt that the naughty and bad nature she unintentionally revealed in front of him was closer to her true appearance.
"Why did you get here? Didn't I tell you not to run around? Although you now have an official rank and status on the surface, after all, you are new to the official office, and you haven't learned all the rules, what if something happens?"
He was always very careful with himself.
She hugged his arm and said coquettishly: "I just love to play, how boring do you want me to stay in the Shilang Court all the time?" There are so many books here, I am curious to come and read them...... What did I do wrong? Can you punish me?"
Looking at her bird's cute appearance, his heart was full of tenderness, and he nodded the tip of her nose, "Okay, don't make trouble, how can I be willing to punish you?"
She smirked and let go of him, "You're looking for me, what's the matter?"
Yin Qixiu saw that there was no one around, so he said straight to her: "Oh, today, I walked with my cousin all the way, and I told him about me and you......"
"What? What do you mean?"
Yin Qixiu was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't help but be happy, and said: "My cousin is a bachelor of Hanlin and is very close to my family, he has promised me to accept you as a righteous daughter, and you can join their clan, so that I can marry you back home, and my father will not object...... My cousin is very good to me, he won't reveal where you came from......"
"No!" she blurted out uncontrollably, refusing to be.
Yin Qixiu was stunned, "You don't want to marry me?"
She realized her gaffe, quickly changed her attitude, acted docile, and said, "No. I just don't want to ...... so fast What's so good about getting married? It's not fun to be an official yet, and I've just entered the Criminal Department, so you can let me play a little longer. ”
She tried her best to defend herself coquettishly, acting innocent, knowing that he would eat herself.
But he thought about it at this time, looked at her, and couldn't hide his disappointment and doubt: "It's still you...... You just want to use me in the Criminal Department?"
Her heart trembled, and she still insisted on acting on her face, pretending to be angry and puzzled: "You! How can you think of me like this? What am I trying to do when I enter the Criminal Department? I don't want to accompany you all the time? You even suspect that I have ulterior motives? Yin Qixiu, you are too much!"
Her tearful appearance is pitiful, but it does not mean that she is absolutely persuasive, let alone for such a perennial trial and questioning person?
He seemed to be able to feel something, but he didn't want to dig deeper.
In the end, he compromised first and said in a low voice: "Okay, it's me who is suspicious." If you don't want to get married, you can't do it first. Don't be angry. ”
She felt a sour feeling in her weak heart, and she didn't dare to look into his eyes anymore, threw herself into his arms, and snuggled up to his chest, "I gave myself to you, so I am naturally willing to marry you." Qi Xiu, you must know that you have a prominent family background, a powerful father, an official position and a family...... But I only have you, you are my only way to live......"
"I live in Luo Hongge, I know that I am not the best-looking girl, nor the most talented girl, let alone virtuous, but you have taken a fancy to me alone, do you know how grateful I am to you? You are the best person I have ever met. I want to thank you for never asking about my past, and please believe that my future is only about you. ”
He hugged her and kissed her forehead: "I believe." I don't care about your past, I will give it to you in the future. ”
She buried her face in his arms, holding back her sour tears, and felt a trace of sweetness and stability in her heart that had not been seen for a long time, but this feeling immediately made her feel a shameful sense of deep self-blame, and she hurriedly suppressed it and extinguished that little hope.
Raising his eyes, he could vaguely see the books in the first row on the shelf, "March of the second year of God's blessing......
The tighter you hugged him, the colder and harder your heart seemed to be.
She put away her tears, put on a coquettish smile, hooked his neck like a kitten, pulled his collar and exhaled a few breaths inside, and whispered in his ear, "Lord Squire, have you been with your subordinates...... Did that?"
He was so ashamed that his ears were hot, and he smiled: "My subordinates are generally only men, and you know my hobbies......"
She wrapped her arms around him, led his body to turn, and kicked the door, "Then you can try it now, it's in this official office...... Isn't it more interesting?"
……
They straightened their clothes and buns, opened the door, and walked out one after the other, there were few people in the Criminal Records Division, but Yin Qixiu still felt particularly weak, and glanced back at Lu Yuansi, her face was still faintly crimson, and she smiled evilly at him, winking mischievously.
Yin Qixiu's heart was ethereal, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.
walked out of the Criminal Records Division and transferred to the Shilang Court, where there were already members of the court waiting for him.
The lower officials saluted him, and Yin Qixiu went up to the hall and took a seat.
Then the lower officials greeted each other, the order was orderly, and the official etiquette was cumbersome, they were not familiar with this new young writer, and Lu Yuansi let go of his voice, the number of etiquette was not bad, and he generously said to the public signatory, and naturally took over the conversation, led to the topic, and continued to discuss yesterday's unfinished business.
Yin Qixiu looked at her coping with it, and was indeed a little surprised.
This kind of her, no different from the other signators, is better than any of them in terms of playing official tones, and some people privately ask her where she is from and what her background is......
Who knows? This seemingly ordinary little student is from the former No. 1 family in Chang'an?
Her father is a first-grade Xiangguo, her eldest brother was the secretary of the second-grade Ministry of Works, and her second brother was an official to the fourth-grade squire......
Even if she is playful and willful, she has been exposed to officialdom since she was a child, so why is it difficult to be a seven-grade main writer?
Is it necessary for a woman to be an official?
Gu Qingning can do it, she doesn't believe that she can't do it.
