VIP chapter content,
After Mo Jiuqing left the medical hall, he came directly to the Yuesheng Restaurant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
And Yan Gong had already told Mo Jiuqing that if there was an emergency to meet in the future, he would come to them from the entrance here.
A small shop that seems to be selling handmade embroidery, after seeing Mo Jiuqing, the shopkeeper immediately got up and said: "What kind of embroidery do guests want to repair, I have everything here." ”
Mo Jiuqing turned around casually and said lightly: "The embroidery I want is unique." ”
As soon as the shopkeeper heard Mo Jiuqing's words, his face changed slightly, and then he said lightly: "Guests, please come with me, I probably have embroidery here that guests need." ”
After that, the shopkeeper kicked the shopkeeper who was dozing off to wake up, and then respectfully took Mo Jiuqing into the back of the small store.
"The master walks through this dark compartment all the way in, and you can see Yan Gong. The shopkeeper looked at Mo Jiuqing and pointed to the flickering lights and said.
Mo Jiuqing nodded, and quickly walked into the dark grid.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper did not leave, anyway, he was waiting in the room, although he had also heard that Yan Gong had said that the master was cautious, but this master was a woman, and he was afraid that she was careless and did not notice that someone was following behind her.
Mo Jiuqing followed what the shopkeeper said and kept walking inside, and when the intersection suddenly opened up, it was a small courtyard.
And Yan Chengcheng was basking in the sun in the yard, although he was basking in the sun, he was also very vigilant, and immediately got up to greet Mo Jiuqing after seeing him.
"Master, why are you here?" Yan Gong looked at Mo Jiuqing who suddenly appeared, and asked with some surprise.
Mo Jiuqing stepped forward to help Yan Gong and said, "You don't have to get up, I'll leave in a while." ”
With that, he helped Yan Gong back to the chair again.
As soon as Yan Gong saw Mo Jiuqing, he couldn't stay idle, so he immediately got up and took out the big red robe in the room, put it on Mo Jiuqing, and then sat down.
Seeing this, Mo Jiuqing also knew that he couldn't stop the old man, so he waited quietly for him to make tea for himself.
"Master, is there something wrong with you coming here, is Shisu's body better?" Yan Gong sat down, and then asked a little nervously.
Mo Jiuqing nodded and said, "I do have something to ask you and Jing Liu for help, as for the perilla, it is almost fine, and you can go back to the house with me after a few days of cultivation." ”
As soon as Yan Gong heard Mo Jiuqing's words, he was relieved. But he immediately came to the spirit and said: "The master's business is our business, you know what I commanded, no matter what I put on this old bone, I will complete it for you!"
Hearing Yan Gong's words, Mo Jiuqing couldn't help laughing and said: "Yan Gong, what you said is too serious, do you think I have something important for you to do, I just got such a pattern, but I don't know the source, I hope Yan Gong you help me check it." ”
Mo Jiuqing said, and took out the pattern on the neck of the black-clothed dead man he had drawn last night and handed it to Yan Gong, who looked at the pattern drawn by Mo Jiuqing, and looked at it but couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"This pattern texture is really strange, if the master is not in a hurry, I will wait for Jing Liu to come back and ask him, if it doesn't work, we will send someone to check. Yan Gong looked at the pattern on the rice paper in his hand, and said with some confusion.
As soon as Mo Jiuqing heard Yan Gong's words, he nodded and said: "I'm not in a hurry about this thing, Yan Gong, you can find it slowly, but this pattern involves a wide range of things, don't make a big deal about it, you can find it privately, if you really can't find it, it's not very important." ”
Yan Gong memorized Mo Jiuqing's words, but automatically ignored the last sentence.
This is the first task that their master tells them, no matter what, they must complete it well, if they can't even complete the first task well, then how can they be embarrassed to face their master.
"Master, don't worry, the old man knows. Yan Gong nodded.
Mo Jiuqing and Yan Gong sat and basked in the sun, thinking that it was not too early to come, so they planned to go back first.
"Master, if you don't dislike it, I'll send someone to protect you secretly, this time the capital is too chaotic, yesterday a master of that Shangshu was assassinated and thrown in the alley, the death is extremely miserable, Jing Liu's kid went to see it and came back was scared, if the master doesn't dislike it, I will pick two higher martial arts to secretly protect the master. Yan Gong looked at Mo Jiuqing, who got up, and asked seriously.
As soon as Mo Jiuqing heard Yan Gong's words, although his face was still indifferent, he complained slightly in his heart, if he let people protect himself, then his actions would be restricted to a certain extent.
"Gong Yan, don't worry, although I left the General's Mansion, my grandfather is also safe, and I won't go out at night, when the shiso is better, the warbler will return to me, and then I don't have to worry about someone to protect my safety." Mo Jiuqing smiled faintly.
As soon as Yan Gong heard Mo Jiuqing's words, he felt that it made sense when he thought about it, so he didn't force it anymore.
Mo Jiuqing came out of the dark compartment and saw that the shopkeeper had been waiting in the room, and there was a touch of appreciation in his eyes, this shopkeeper was a man with brains...
"Master, this is the embroidery that my subordinates chose for you. When the shopkeeper saw Mo Jiuqing coming out, he immediately greeted him and handed Mo Jiuqing a piece of fine embroidery in his hand.
Mo Jiuqing took the embroidery and said lightly: "Why did you follow Yan Gong and them?"
"The subordinates were rescued by Yan Gong and Jing Liu four years ago, because the subordinate hometown was plagued, and the imperial court closed the hometown of the subordinate in order to prevent the spread of the plague, and the subordinate escaped by luck, but almost died on the road, and was seen by Yan Gong and Jing Liu, who came back from the border, so they were able to survive. The shopkeeper was a man with a handsome face, and when he said these words, he had a grudge in his eyes towards the imperial court, but when he spoke of Hikoko and Jing Liu, he was full of gratitude.
Mo Jiuqing said quietly: "Then do you know my identity?"
"Yes. The shopkeeper didn't expect Mo Jiuqing to suddenly ask, but he still answered seriously.
"Since you have such a deep grudge against the imperial court, then you should also know that I have an inextricable relationship with the imperial court, since you can still be loyal to me like this?" Mo Jiuqing half-raised her red lips, and the flickering light and darkness made it impossible to see her face at the moment.
When the shopkeeper heard Mo Jiuqing's words, his body was shocked, but after thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Although the subordinates don't know why Yan Gong and Jing Liu swear their allegiance to the master so much, but Yan Gong and Jing Liu are the life-saving benefactors of their subordinates, and whoever they are loyal to, then the subordinates will follow who they are loyal to." ”
Listening to the shopkeeper's words, Mo Jiuqing narrowed her eyes, and the dim light flickered, and no one could read her thoughts at the moment.
"You don't need to be loyal to me, you just need to be loyal to Hikoko and Jing Liu, as for me, you just treat me as a passer-by. Mo Jiuqing turned around and left the room, but his shallow words were a little meaningless.
And after listening to Mo Jiuqing's words, the shopkeeper's eyes flashed, looking at Mo Jiuqing's back thoughtfully, but he immediately followed in a moment.
After leaving the embroidery shop, Mo Jiuqing returned to Ye Mansion alone.
The shopkeeper just now was not simple at all, a thoughtful and shrewd person, and with a grudge in his heart, it was impossible for him to easily succumb to such a place, his gratitude to Yan Gong and Jing Liu was true, but the hatred in his eyes was the most real, and this kind of hatred even far exceeded his gratitude to Yan Gong and Jing Liu.
It is impossible for such a man to stay in this embroidery shop forever and forget his grudges for a lifetime.
It seems that the time and space and this dynasty I am in now are really a bit interesting.
Back at the palace, the attendants handed over the invitation from the shogunate.
"County Lord, this is the third invitation sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion, the last time it was sent by the master, the lord tore the invitation like thunder. The attendant handed the invitation to Mo Jiuqing, and exaggerated the expression on Ye Junxiao's face when he saw the invitation.
Seeing this, Mo Jiuqing couldn't help laughing, but this time he opened the invitation and looked at it.
"Mrs. Mu's birthday?" Mo Jiuqing said lightly.
The attendant nodded and said, "I don't know that the county lord doesn't know that this Mrs. Mu's birthday every year is very grand, and everyone in the entire capital knows about it." Every year, the lord is invited, but the lord has never been there once. ”
As soon as Mo Jiuqing heard the attendant's words, he thought for a while and said: "In this way, you go and tell Uncle Kuang and ask him to help me pick a gift, and when the time comes, I will go instead of my grandfather, if I don't go every year, I am afraid that others will give others the opportunity to gossip about my grandfather." ”
When the attendant heard this, his eyes flashed inappropriately: "But if you go, the county lord, the lord may be angry." ”
"Grandpa, I'll solve it, you go find Uncle Kuang for me first. Mo Jiuqing said indifferently.
When the attendant saw this, he didn't say more, and after saluting, he quickly went to the housekeeper in the house.
And Mo Jiuqing also went straight to Ye Junxiao will be in the study at the moment, watching a few attendants stumbling over with things along the way, Mo Jiuqing also roughly guessed that he was afraid that there were guests in the mansion.
After thinking about it, Mo Jiuqing dismissed his plan to go to Ye Junxiao now.
She is not a person who likes to talk too much, and she doesn't know what to say when she sees guests, so as not to embarrass her grandfather.
Thinking like this, Mo Jiuqing challenged his body and planned to leave, but just after taking a few steps, an attendant hurriedly trotted over from the front and said, "County Lord... The county lord, the lord asked you to go to Fu Zhuxuan. ”
Mo Jiuqing listened to the maid's words, half raised his eyebrows, Fu Zhuxuan can be said to be his grandfather's favorite courtyard, generally except for himself and his grandfather, there is no more than one person can enter, I didn't expect that the guests who came today were actually in Fu Zhuxuan, which surprised Mo Jiuqing.
"Which guest made Grandpa go to Fuzhuxuan?" Mo Jiuqing asked lightly.
When the maid heard Mo Jiuqing's words, she said shyly: "It's the fifth prince who is here." ”
