Chapter 209
The layout of the shops in the town of Jingkou is about the same, and Darentang and Zhang Xing's shop are the same, both of which are small courtyards with two entrances. The back door out of the front yard is a square courtyard with wells and trees in the yard. Zhang Xing walked through the courtyard with an umbrella, the cold water vapor rushed towards her, and there was a dingdong sound overhead. The shock in her heart calmed down. Yao Mingzhu was obviously more surprised than she was when she saw her, and she also saw that the father and daughter didn't want their whereabouts to be revealed.
It is true that Qingmengshan's experience as a bandit is disgraceful, but in the face of her confession, the other party is still cautious. They didn't want anyone to know about their affairs in Kyoguchi more than her.
There is no need for her to panic at all, if she is not mistaken, Yao Mingzhu should not have come out of the Huaiyang Palace.
Yao Qingshan, that's a fragrant dumpling, isn't the three masters of Qingmeng Mountain more likely to know where Zhang Tianyi's things are than the little shrimp of the stone? Shen Huaijin sent Yao Mingzhu to the Huaiyang palace at that time, in the name of accompanying the old princess, but in fact, he was taking him hostage, and the purpose was to lure Yao Qingshan out. finally lured Yao Qingshan out, they wouldn't let him go so soon.
Even if they got Zhang Tianyi's things as they wished, they would not let them go. Everyone wants Zhang Tianyi's things, and it is a terrible thing to get them. There are only two kinds of people in this world who will not divulge this matter, one is their own person, and the other is a dead person.
Since Yao Qingshan is nestled in this small Jingkou as an ordinary sitting gentleman, he must not have been accepted by anyone. He and Yao Mingzhu are okay, so naturally they will not be sent out by Huaiyang Wangfugong.
When they arrived at the eaves, Sun Baozhu put away the umbrella, and Yao Mingzhu pushed the door open. Invited Zhang Xing in. It's a small house. But a low couch and a table with two people. The water in the teapot on the table was still hot. Yao Mingzhu poured a cup with Zhang Xing and gave himself a cup. "This house is where my father occasionally rests and lives, and he doesn't buy much. ”
Zhang Xing thanked him. Yao Qingshan obviously has real skills, and the shopkeeper of Darentang deliberately took out this room for him to rest occasionally. Although the house is small, there are all that should be used.
"Why did you come here?" asked Yao Mingzhu.
"My eldest brother has opened a new cloth village, and he will often come here to collect cloth in the future, and I came with him. Zhang Xing took a sip of tea and said. "Sister Yao, what about you, when did you come?"

"I've been here for over a month. Yao Mingzhu said with a smile.
Zhang Xing silently calculated in her heart, more than a month ago, Mother Xu of Huaiyang Wangfu had not come to Weijiazhuang, and Weijiazhuang was calm. But the Huaiyang Palace, which is definitely not peaceful, has gone to such an important person, and has not cast a big net to find it? Qingmengshan, the third master, is also a skill, and he can actually bring people out of the Huaiyang Palace. The people were brought out, and they were not in a hurry to leave the Jianghuai area, so they turned around and went to a small town at the bottom of Yuxian County to sit up.
If Huaiyang City is the first nest of Huaiyang Palace, then Yuxian County is definitely the second nest. Gu Xichao said sideways in Yu County. It's just too weak. He is the overlord there, asking for and taking. But this three-master is really bold. Knowing that someone was looking for him everywhere, he was still hanging around with a medical box under the other party's nose. These days, Zhang Xing has seen this third master a lot, but with her eyes, she didn't see the slightest inappropriateness in the other party. If it weren't for Yao Mingzhu's father who got his response, Xu is that these two people walked together, she would not have thought that Mr. Yao, who treated her every day, was Yao Mingzhu's father, Shishi's father-in-law, and the famous three masters of Qingmeng Mountain
Xu is because of this, Huaiyang Palace's mother Xu came later than she expected, she almost thought that Gu Xichao's things were not a matter at all in the eyes of Huaiyang Palace. Now that she thinks about it, the Gu and Shen families may have been hooked up a long time ago, otherwise, Shen Huaijin would not have put Yao Mingzhu in Huaiyang Palace.
This Huaiyang Mansion is really not a good place, I don't know how her sister Zhang Tao is?
Zhang Xing thought in her heart that Zhang Tao was about to ask, Yao Mingzhu spoke first and asked, "Xing'er, do you have any news of Xiaoxuan?" Her fingers slowly swept over the edge of the teacup, looking at Zhang Xing intently, "I haven't seen him since I left Qingmeng Mountain." ”
The filial piety in her mouth is a stone. Zhang Xing nodded and said, "He went to the Great Northwest, and he went with several of his partners in Qingmeng Mountain. ”
"What about after that? Have you heard about him again? What happened to him in the Great Northwest?" asked Yao Mingzhu almost impatiently.
"He went to my house when he was leaving, and he told me about this, and I really don't know what happened next. Zhang Xing said. In fact, Shi said a lot of things when he went to her house, but the things they experienced between them were so weird that she wouldn't tell anyone about it.
As for the stone, to whom he wanted to speak, it was his own business. She could see that the Senior Sister Yao in front of her was not just a sister and brother for the stone. Shi kissed her, believed her, and was willing to tell those hidden secrets to his senior sister, that was all Shi Shi's own business. She will accept it, but she will not say it herself.
Yao Mingzhu's face was obviously a little disappointed. Zhang Xing is also very concerned about the stone in her heart, she knows more than Yao Mingzhu, the stone is not only from a mountain bandit, but also a person who the Shen family wants to get rid of quickly. He ran to the Shen family to serve as a soldier, saying that it was not an exaggeration to tie his head to the waistband of his trousers to spend his days.
However, Zhang Xing still said: "Sister Yao, don't worry, Xiaoxuan will be fine." ”
Yao Mingzhu pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, nodded, and whispered, "I also believe that he will be fine." ”
"Sister Yao. Zhang Xing looked at Yao Mingzhu and said cautiously, "Have you seen my sister in Huaiyang Palace?"
Yao Mingzhu's eyes dodged for a moment, then turned to look at Zhang Xing, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I have seen it, you two are worthy of being sisters, even if you are sick, they are all about the same." ”
Zhang Xing's heart tightened, "Zhang Tao is sick, what is her disease, does it matter?"
"It doesn't matter, don't worry, when I leave the Huaiyang Palace, she will be almost complete. Yao Mingzhu said with a smile.
Zhang Xing breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Tao didn't have any relatives in Huaiyang Palace, and that Miss Gu didn't really treat her well. "What disease does she have?" asked Zhang Xing.
"How can you say that you are sisters?" Yao Mingzhu laughed, "She is also suffering from a cold like you. Qiuhua Courtyard is usually not easy to enter, and I also heard that she was drenched in the rain, so she got sick. ”
Zhang Xing lowered her eyes. She is different from Zhang Tao, she did it on purpose, and Zhang Tao, how could she get drenched in the rain if she is so good? She is also sick, so much so that Yao Mingzhu, who lives in the Huaiyang Palace, knows about it. She's just a little girl in Qiuhuayuan. This is certainly not a trivial matter. It's a pity that she can't go to Huaiyang yet.
"Well, you don't have to worry, I saw her when I left. It doesn't matter if she looks better than you are right now. Yao Mingzhu comforted Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing smiled. Yao Mingzhu asked Zhang Tao again why he entered the palace. Zhang Xing picked up some and said it didn't matter. Yao Mingzhu sighed and said, "Your sister is very sensible. ”
"yes. Zhang Xing whispered. She remembered what Zhang Tao said when she persuaded her to leave the Huaiyang Palace. Zhang Tao still hated Ye Hexiang in his heart, and would rather stay in Huaiyang Palace, rather than be with Ye Hexiang. Now that she has her own shop, she will work hard to make it well, and then take Zhang Tao over. There is no need to be with Ye Hexiang, Zhang Tao's response is that he will agree to leave the Huaiyang Palace.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Zhang Xingyao and Yao Mingzhu both stopped talking. The door opened, and Yao Qingshan stood at the door, shaking off the rain on the umbrella while saying with a smile: "Apricot girl, your family has come to pick up people." ”
Zhang Xing came to the front yard, Hu Chunlai was waiting at the door, and there was a carriage parked outside the gate. As soon as Hu Chunlai saw Zhang Xing, he immediately greeted him and said, "Miss, let's hurry back." ”
"Good. Zhang Xing responded with a smile, and then turned her head to talk to Yao Mingzhu, "Sister Yao, I'll go back first." If you have time, come to my house and look for me, and I know no one here but you. ”
Yao Mingzhu smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll go to your house, you be careful, don't get cold again." ”
Zhang Xing's carriage disappeared in the rain and fog, and the smile on Yao Mingzhu's face was gone. Yao Qingshan sighed and said in a low voice: "Mingzhu, you go back and pack up first, let's leave tonight." ”
"Daddy. Yao Mingzhu still looked outside and said, "I don't want to leave here." ”
Yao Qingshan smiled bitterly and whispered: "Silly girl, my father can't stand you, and my father doesn't want you to follow your father to hide in Tibet, but if you don't, the people from Huaiyang Palace's mansion will be able to find us immediately." ”
Yao Mingzhu turned her head, "Dad, I think she's just like us, and she's also hiding from the Huaiyang Palace." ”
Yao Qingshan's face turned grim, pulled Yao Mingzhu into the cubicle, and asked in a low voice, "Girl, did you see anything after you talked to her like this?"
Yao Mingzhu lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Dad, when I left the Huaiyang Palace, there was something going on in the Huaiyang Palace. Gu Xichao took a fancy to a private woman, but she moved the grain and grass from the Yuxian County Reserve Grain Depot for the girl, and also took away the manpower of the Yuxian Patrol Battalion. Gu Yongfeng was so angry that he punished him severely. However, the old princess loves her grandson, but in private she is preparing to get this girl into the palace. Daddy, do you know who that girl is?"
Yao Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and pointed to the direction in which Zhang Xing left outside the window, "You mean, it's her?"
Yao Mingzhu nodded.
"Is this certain?" asked Yao Qingshan.
Yao Mingzhu nodded again and whispered, "If it weren't for her sister fighting with someone and almost killing someone, I don't believe it would be her." Dad, Zhang Xing's sister came to Gu Xiyun's side to be a girl when she was eight or nine years old. This little girl is very protective of her sister, but she can only listen to her sister's gossip, and almost cripple the gossip girl. ”
