Yu Mingzhi was finally able to step out of this room, and Zhu'er still had to stay where she was.

The woman didn't give her a moment to speak, but winked at Zhu'er, trying to tell her not to act rashly.

Before Zhu'er could react, Yu Mingzhi was "invited" out of the house by the woman's arm, and the door was slammed shut.

The courtyard is very chic, there is a small pond in the center, in which there is a pure white hibiscus, blooming in the morning light, a few red carp under the lotus leaves come and go freely, the cobblestone path is neatly trimmed green grass on both sides, a swing is supported in the middle, a beautiful magpie is parked on the pedal board, "chirping" chirp, see someone passing by and do not hide, tilt the head, black bean-like eyes to look over.

The magpie has been considered a bird of joy since ancient times, and good things will happen when you see it.

Yu Mingzhi hopes that the trip will go well.

Further on, the prismatic window can see the lush bamboo forest, but there is no way to see through the bamboo forest to see the scene outside.

There was a small sedan chair with a blue curtain parked at the gate of the courtyard, Yu Mingzhi consciously got into the sedan chair, looked at the figure reflected in the curtain and squatted down and stood up, and then the sedan chair was lifted up, turned around and walked to other places.

The sedan chair is a little stuffy, it is not like the normal sedan chair with small windows on both sides, and the curtain has also been manipulated, and it is motionless in the shaking.

Why can't I see half of the scene outside in this house?

When she accompanied her father to Beijing to report on his work, she visited several of his colleagues and friends, and their homes were not as luxurious and elegant as here, and the decoration was exquisite, indicating that she had never been there.

So. There is a good chance that you will have the opportunity to come here in the future.

And the owner of the house didn't want to reveal his identity, at least on the bright side, he maintained a good relationship with Qin Ji.

Coupled with the rings and poetry collections that appear here, can it be said that the owner of the house wants to use Shan Jing as a substitute for the dead ghost, and seek benefits with Qin Ji, and then no matter whether he succeeds or not, he will not reveal his identity, and plan more things in the future?

Yu Mingzhi figured this out, and further concluded that he would not have to worry about his life, as for Qin Ji......

The affairs of the court can only depend on himself.

Just thinking about it, the sedan chair fell to the ground.

The woman lifted the curtain. looked respectful and bowed to Yu Mingzhi and said, "Please get off the sedan chair Miss." My master is in the house. ”

Yu Mingzhi came out with her skirt, and the sedan chair actually stopped at the door of a side room, only two doors were open, and the sedan door was just against the door frame. I can't see left and right. She stepped into the room. The sedan chair remained quietly in place. The two palanquin bearers stood on the side of the door, as still as stone statues without moving.

She looked into the room again, and the décor was the same as the one she was living in. However, there is a layer of bead curtains hanging in front of him, and each bead is round and crystalline, reflecting a brilliant light under the sunlight falling from the skylight, but in this way, the vision is blurred, so that people can't see behind the bead curtain.

In addition, there is a layer of white veil, and a graceful figure can be faintly seen.

She was stunned, thinking that the owner of the woman's mouth would be a man.

The man chuckled and said, "The girl didn't expect their master to be a woman, did she?" ”

Seeing that the other party saw what he was thinking, a disapproving smile appeared on the corner of Yu Mingzhi's mouth, "Why talk nonsense." Why don't you ask Madame to explain my intention in inviting me here? ”

Judging by the shadows, the combed bun should be a married woman.

And the voice, which sounds a little dull, is likely to be the other party covering his mouth with a handkerchief, afraid that she will hear it in the future.

The lady said, "You have a bit of a resemblance to the personality of the Qin Sheren. ”

Yu Mingzhi said: "It seems that you have seen him, what requirements have you made, I am a little interested in knowing." ”

Mrs. said: "Naturally, it is a requirement related to his own interests, don't worry, girl, we will never embarrass Qin Sheren, and this matter will also have a lot of benefits for him." And inviting the girl to the cold house to stay for a few days is because she doesn't want the people of Qin She to be distracted. I heard that he often visits you and cooks for you, which is very considerate. ”

Do you even know how to cook and cook? Yu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes, and the wind blew through the bead curtain, making a crisp sound.

The relationship between her and her husband and Qin Ji is by no means simple.

Madame said: "I see that the girl is calm and generous, in this place, I can't tell whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, but I can handle it calmly, this temperament is very compatible with the Qin She people." I like girls more and more. ”

"If you like it, why don't you see it for real?" Yu Mingzhi was deliberately aggressive.

The lady said: "If you are fated, you can meet in the future, and the girl does not need to be anxious." The girl sits, how tired it is to stand and talk. ”

Yu Mingzhi didn't see anything outside, and sat down on the circle chair next to him.

Madame spoke again: "I wonder how much the girl guessed our identity?" ”

Yu Mingzhi said: "You have a relationship with Shan Jingwei, the waiter of the Chinese book. ”

The other party is secretive, and she is also half-truthful.

Madame chuckled a few times, "The girl is very careful. I've got some pastries here, so I'd like to ask the girl to try them. ”

A little maid came out from behind the curtain, placed a plate of pastries on the small table beside Yu Mingzhi, poured another cup of tea, and then retreated behind the curtain.

"Girl, please use it."

Yu Mingzhi was observing the little maid just now, and when she opened the curtain, the small gap, the wind blowing from the window hit her face, with the fragrance of lotus flowers.

The owner of the house really loves lotus.

However, the true face of the man behind the beaded curtain and veil could not be seen at a glance under the girl's caution.

She lowered her eyes and picked up a piece with chopsticks, the slightly transparent snow-white glutinous rice skin revealed a touch of dark red, she took a small bite, the surface was soft and glutinous, and the red bean paste inside was sweet and not greasy.

The lady took a sip of tea and asked, "This is my favorite glutinous rice and red bean cake, do you like it?" ”

Yu Mingzhi nodded, "It tastes good." ”

Madame suddenly asked in a stern tone, "Isn't the girl afraid that I will poison it?" ”

"Didn't Madame say that we would meet in the future?" Yu Mingzhi said indifferently: "Besides, your family and Qin Ji seek common interests, we are friends." Not an enemy. No ally can kill each other before they achieve their goal, so I don't think you will do anything to me. ”

Before she could finish speaking, she heard hearty laughter.

If there is no need to hide it, what kind of person would this lady be? Yu Mingzhi suddenly became a little interested.

The lady said, "Girl, try that mung bean cake again, and if you like it, I'll ask someone to bring you some more at noon." ”

"Thank you, ma'am." Yu Mingzhi took a sip of tea before eating the mung bean cake, which was smooth and sweet, but compared to the mung bean cake at a dim sum shop she often ate in Xiangzhou. It's a little worse.

"The girl doesn't seem to like this mung bean cake very much?" Madame asked.

Yu Mingzhi didn't like to be so polite with them. said bluntly: "It's really not as delicious as Qin Ji brought me." ”

Madame laughed, "The girl is full of Qin She's people in her heart." However, I heard that you are only following the orders of your parents, and you have only returned to the capital together from other places before, how can you have such a deep affection? ”

Explore her relationship with Qin Ji again? It's even more troublesome than the emperor and queen. Yu Mingzhi said: "The grace of saving lives." Repay by example. And although the time spent together on the road is not long. But that's enough. ”

Madame shook her head and sighed, "Time is too short. Isn't it knowing the face of the person but not the heart? ”

Yu Mingzhi asked rhetorically, "What about the lady and the single waiter?" ”

She spoke in a firm tone, as if she was sure that the woman was Shan Jingwei's wife.

Madame sneered, "If I had known that Shan Jing was a womanizer. I won't be able to get married, but it's a pity that it's too late now......"

"Why don't you get along, Madame?" Yu Mingzhi asked seriously.

The lady was stunned, "The girl agrees with this." ”

"Since it doesn't go well and I regret it, why don't you reconcile and find another good son-in-law to be more comfortable."

"......," Madame did not immediately accommerate with her for the first time.

Yu Mingzhi smiled, "Thank you Madame for your kindness, but I don't need others to guide me and Qin Ji's marriage." ”

After a while, the voice of the lady sounded again from behind the tent, "It seems that I underestimated the girl. ”

The little girl was so cunning and clever that she deliberately knocked on their marriage, only to get a sentence that meant the same thing as accusing her of being "nosy."

"But...... The girl is younger, although I didn't poison your food and red bean cake, but there are some other condiments in the mung bean cake, and it is precisely because this affects the taste of the mung bean cake. In fact, what you just ate was from the same pastry chef as the one you bought for you by the Qin Sheren. ”

Yu Mingzhi was expressionless, and drank tea slowly, "So what?" ”

Her reaction like this made the words that Madame had originally prepared nowhere to say, suppressed the breath blocked in her heart, and shook her head helplessly.

"As long as Qin Sheren cooperates, the girl will naturally be safe and sound. This is not a test of your feelings. ”

Yu Mingzhi got up, "The relationship between me and Qin Ji doesn't need you to verify it. ”

Madame's heart suddenly became a little more cheerful, "Girl, don't you dare to test, afraid of disappointment?" ”

Yu Mingzhi said coldly: "The relationship is a matter between me and Qin Ji before, and others have no right to interfere." ”

"......" Mrs. sneered, worthy of being Yu Yanshen's daughter, "It's extremely interesting to chat with the girl today, but that's the end of it." Let's go back and rest, and please eat the food after that, and there will be no other things. ”

"Farewell." Yu Mingzhi was not ambiguous, got up and returned to the sedan chair.

The curtain was compacted, and it was a little bumpy back to the previous yard.

Zhu'er walked around the room anxiously, as soon as she heard the sound of the door opening, her eyes looked over, and when she saw that it was Yu Mingzhi who came back, she happily jumped up and hugged her.

"Miss, they didn't do anything to you, did they? Are you hurt? ”

Yu Mingzhi grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "I chatted casually, which made me more sure about something." Pearl, how are you? ”

"Is Miss really okay? Didn't eat what they gave you? Zhu'er first cared about Yu Mingzhi's physical condition, and the true face of the "master" had been put aside for the time being.

Yu Mingzhi pulled her to sit down on the chaise longue, and repeatedly assured that she had not been hurt in any way.

Zhu'er stared into her eyes and looked at her again, "Miss is fine, Zhu'er is relieved." Who is their master, has the young lady seen it? ”

Yu Mingzhi shook his head, "She hid behind the beaded curtain curtain, covering her mouth even when she spoke, and she seemed extremely cautious, so I didn't know her identity." She tested how much I knew, and told me that they were doing it for the benefit of Qin Ji. ”

Zhu'er disdainfully, "How can there be such a conspiracy for interests." ”

"So they want to blame Shan Jingwei for this incident." Yu Mingzhi touched his chin, "They did this to take advantage of Qin Ji's hand to get rid of Shan Jingwei?" Caused by the internal dispute of Zhongshu Province? The people who want to do this the most are undoubtedly King Yi's people, but with their ability, how can they invite such a master? ”

"Who the hell will they be......" Pearl's agony.

Yu Mingzhi shrugged, "One day in the future, we will see their true colors." ”

Pearls asked, "Didn't they say when we could leave?" ”

Yu Mingzhi said: "No matter what time it is, you can't act rashly. ”

Zhu'er pursed her lips slightly, "Zhu'er listens to Miss, where do you dare to assert yourself." ”

Yu Mingzhi smiled: "Okay, good, our pearl is the most well-behaved." ”

The two of them talked together, passing the time as they did at home.

At the other end of the house, the lady walked out from behind the beaded curtain, lazily looked at the bronze mirror held by the maid, tidied up the golden hairpin on the bun, and then listened to another maid come in to report.

"There is a guest here, the master invites you to come over."

Madame didn't raise her eyes, staring at her delicate face in the mirror, "Is it him again?" ”

The maid replied, "Yes." ”

Madame chuckled, "If you want to have a chance of winning this matter, it is useless to come to us to beg us." ”

She sorted out the jewelry, and then slowly walked out of the wing, and then passed through the two moon cave doors, and there was a boundless courtyard outside.

In the afternoon of this day, Qin Ji returned to the Yamen of Zhongshu Province, Gu Zhongyi was sitting idly drinking tea in the middle of the room, and Zhongshu Ling was sitting next to him, with an old face with a kind smile, whispering something to him.

As he was about to step through the door, a figure stepped in and greeted him eagerly.

"Qin Sheren, have you eaten it?"

Qin Ji looked at Shan Jingwei lukewarmly, and sneered in a low voice: "Shan Shilang, let's shut up and close the door." ”

Shan Jingwei knew that something big was going to happen when he heard it, and the big thing must be the one entrusted to the people of Qin She, right? Originally, he saw that Qin Ji didn't move at all, which made him anxious for a long time, but now he finally waited for the result.

He crossed the threshold and quickly closed the door, blocking out all the inquiring eyes outside.

Gu Zhongyi looked at Qin Ji, who had an unfathomable face, and then glanced at Shan Jingwei, who was unabashedly happy, and a disdainful smile quickly flashed on his face.

Qin Ji sat down across from them, and Shan Jingwei sat next to him.

He poured a cup of tea and drank it, and then said slowly: "I asked the emperor what he meant, and he thinks that Shan Shilang is young and promising, and he is the best choice for the next Zhongshu Ling, so he ......"

As he spoke, he then covered most of his face with the tea cup and gave Gu Zhongyi a look.

Gu Zhongyi immediately became angry, and when he came up, he punched him in the face. (To be continued.) )
