Bai Lu didn't expect the girl to think of herself, so she went to the third girl excitedly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When I got there, I realized that the six girls were sending a chore, and looking at the cold and frozen faces of the three girls, Bai Lu felt that the hairs on her body stood up.
The six girls expressed their apologies in a cautious manner, and then put down the tray that held five small porcelain bowls and respectfully withdrew.
Before she could go far, she heard a faint commotion in the third girl's room, thinking that the tray had already died, so she didn't dare to stay, and hurried away.
Mu Jingyun's face turned pale with anger, what does Mu Zhiyue mean by this, it is not enough for her to be humiliated, does she have to come and make up for it again, and now she uses this Laoshizi five-color drink to remind herself of the humiliation just now.
She really misunderstood Mu Zhiyue, she really wanted to apologize, after all, she didn't hear a word of Mu Jingyun's slander against her, she only knew that the third sister was affected by her and was affected by Xia Yi's anger, which made Bai Lu go this way.
In Xia Yi's room, a young man with an ordinary appearance and a gray face stood with his hands tied.
He was dressed in a blue-gray muslin short brown, the cuffs of his trousers were tightly tied up with coarse strips of cloth, and a pair of black cloth shoes on his feet were covered with dust, and even the tips of the shoes were a little torn, and it looked like he had never changed his clothes after a long journey.
The young man's eyes were staring straight at Xia Yi, waiting for Xia Yi's further instructions.
Xia Yi, who was sitting on the spacious Arhat Collapse above, no longer had the same unrestrained face as before, his face was solemn, his eyes were shining, and he was looking at a note in his hand.
The note was not large, only the size of an adult's thumb, and the folds were not visible, and the only few words on it were also sharpened, but they were still legible.
"Praying mantis catching cicadas", there are only four short words on the note, and the handwriting is familiar to him.
Xia Yi frowned and looked at the young man, "Has he ever said anything else to you?"
The young man shook his head, Xia Yi's eyes dimmed, what kind of dumb riddle was this person playing.
The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the cicada should refer to the person himself, but who is the praying mantis.
Thinking about the dynamics of the DPRK and China after the incident, there is nothing worth noting, the only thing is that he left the capital to come to this Fengyang.
Xia Yi felt a pang in his heart, if the only change in himself was the source of the praying mantis catching cicadas, then would this praying mantis be the third prince who brought him to Fengyang.
But wasn't the third prince's trip to secretly investigate the matter of the illegal salt in the Lianghuai Salt Farm, why was it involved in that person's affairs.
Xia Yi was a little puzzled for a while, waved his hand and said, "You go down to repair first, and I'll look for you if there is any problem."
The young man bowed and retreated, Xia Yi stood up from the Luohan collapse, rubbed it with one hand, and the note in his palm turned into a piece of powder in an instant.
He walked to the window and opened the closed sash, a hot wind blew, and the crumbs in his hands fluttered out with the hot wind, and in a blink of an eye, there was no trace.
Looking out of the window, the scenery of the Mu Mansion looks much better than the Han Mansion, and the courtyard is larger than the Han Mansion, which shows that the heritage of the century-old family is still there.
Thinking around, Xia Yi was sure in his heart that if the third prince was really the praying mantis, then the cicada he wanted to catch might be in Fengyang, but he didn't find it for a while.
But why did that person have to go through several twists and turns to bring a letter to himself from thousands of miles away in Fengyang, Xia Yi only thought about it and understood, thinking that it was a trick to make the third prince think that he was looking in the wrong direction.
Xia Yi couldn't help but think of that person's situation, and his heart was gloomy.
In the past few years, he has followed his grandfather's orders and done many things for him under the cover of his identity, but he still can't change his current situation, and he has to rely on himself step by step, and now there is no way back to this point.
In the corridor outside Xia Yi's room, Fang Ziyu was looking at the Lingyan who came over with great interest, looking at the tray and then at the Lingyan, with a playful light in his eyes.
"You said that your girl asked you to give it to Xia Gongzi?", this thing is a bit unbelievable, only three hours after leaving Xia Yi's side, a little girl rushed to give him a drink?
He knew that Xia Yi was outstanding, but he had never been a likable character, and his reputation was so good that there was a little girl who was not afraid of death to rush up?
However, he still knows his cousin better, don't look at him as a fool of himself, but he is not ambiguous when it comes to serious things, and his mind is more flexible than ordinary people, and even bad ideas and ghost ideas are much more than those of these families.
But others don't know as much as he does, so today's events are strange.
Ling Yan's facial expression did not change, she came to excuse Xia Gongzi for the girl, but she didn't expect to meet this strange son outside the door of the guest room where Xia Gongzi was resting.
Nodding and about to say something, the closed door of the guest room suddenly opened, and Xia Yi walked out of it refreshed.
Due to the rising heat, Xia Yi ran back to Han's house to catch Imperial Doctor Zhang, so he was sweating, and when he first arrived at the guest room, he instructed the little servant in Mu's house to bring water to bathe him.
At this time, he was just wearing a long shirt of Songjiang Sansuo cloth provided by Mu Fu, and the white robe was no longer as gorgeous as the red clothes he had seen in the morning, and it looked like it added a little bit of a feeling of Yushu facing the wind.
Xia Yi ignored Fang Ziyu who was standing on the side, stepped forward, looked at the five glass cups on the tray in the maid's hand, looked at Ling Yan again, and asked uncertainly: "Is this really what the sixth girl of your family asked you to send?"
He couldn't believe it, the little girl began to tease herself and waited outside the courtyard for two hours, and then he broke in and killed her brother, and her eyes made Xia Yi have to believe that if she had a knife in her hand, she would definitely stab herself unceremoniously.
Now he gave himself a five-color drink, and he was forgiven so easily?
Ling Yan nodded respectfully and politely and said: "Well, our six girls said that they offended Xia Gongzi a lot today, and this five-color drink will be used as an apology, and I hope that Master Xia Gongzi will not remember the villain, don't worry about our girl."
Ling Yan obeyed Mu Zhiyue's instructions and did not mention the matter of Imperial Doctor Zhang, but it did not mean that Xia Yi did not mention it.
"You say this is your girl's apology? How to calculate the matter of the imperial doctor, but I found a life-saving miracle doctor for her, is she going to expose this matter like this, and plan to kill the donkey if she unloads the mill?"
Ling Yan didn't expect Xia Yi to ask this question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
simply didn't say anything, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said: "Xia Gongzi's words will definitely be told to our girl, and the girl has her own decision." The girl also instructed the slave maid to hand over the origin and recipe of the five-color drink to Xia Gongzi", after speaking, she handed the neatly folded paper to the little girl next to Xia Yi.
This little guy is still from the Mu Mansion, Xia Yi followed the three princes alone, and he didn't bring anyone with him.
The little girl took the piece of paper and presented it to Xia Yi, Xia Yi didn't know what Miss Mu Liu meant, she gave herself a prescription, and she thought that she would find someone to do it.
At that time, it was purely curiosity and being provoked by Miss Mu Liu's disposition to not admit defeat, so she followed with a blank eye, which one was really greedy to such a point.
Fangzi is transcribed on very ordinary white paper, unlike the nobles in the capital who love to use flower notes no matter what they write.
He prefers this kind of white paper and black characters are clear and clear, and when he looks up, he sees that the white paper is written uprightly with hairpin flowers: Yan Shigu's "Great Cause Collection" contains: "There is a Zen master first, and Renshou often provides for it, making five-color drinks, taking Fufang leaves as green drinks, and roots as red drinks, buttermilk as white drinks, black plum syrup as Xuan drinks, and Jiang Gui as yellow drinks.
