14. [Pick-up] Nai He Bridge
"Huh?" Qin looked at Yongque slowly and dullly.
Yongque sat for a long time, his slender fingers tapping on the tabletop intentionally or unintentionally.
A teapot on the table was still warm, and the fragrance lingered, and Qin slowly woke up like a dream and remembered that he seemed to have mentioned a word to Huo An to thank him for the favor of tea.
Inherit the kindness of others, and should be grateful, even if Yongque himself thinks it is an ordinary polite sentence. Qin Slow was honest, and when he was reminded in person, he didn't feel that Yongque was too eye-catching, but he really jumped off the bed in a special way, and meticulously bent his hand and bowed: "The Lord has to take care of it, Qin Slow is grateful, and I will accept a salute." β
Yongque waited for her to react in many ways, either annoyed or disdainful or simply fooled around and didn't say anything, but she didn't expect her to give him a big gift in a proper manner. He didn't know whether to be annoyed or laughed, and when he thought about it, he almost lost his laughter, could it be that he really went back, and he was worried about a girl who didn't open his mouth!
"That's it, it's not worth mentioning the sesame thing, don't toss up and down if you're not in good health, sit down." Once he put away the majesty of his weekdays, his gentle voice seemed to be like the gentle wind and soft rain in March and April, if he were not a eunuch, I am afraid that such a sentence would make the hearts of many girls in the boudoir beat like a drum and their faces were like scarlet clouds.
Qin Slow was also strange in his heart, but he was troubled, did the people in the palace look like him, and his face was sunny and his back was rain? Or...... She took a special look at him, and heard that because of a knife, the waiter's temperament was more eccentric than ordinary people. Don't say that he is a powerful saint in front of the red, he must be even more different from ordinary people!
Her undisguised pondering expression fell into Yongque's eyes, look at what he said, cowardly, cowardly, submissive? It's all a faΓ§ade to deceive stupid people! dared to look at him unscrupulously in front of him, and I thought that I was even more bold.
Yongque poured himself a cup of tea that had not been cold, and took a sip to moisten his throat: "Miss Qin, you said that you and the medical saint are friends, and you have also seen the corpse of the water ghost thirteen in the noodle restaurant that day." Can the medical saint have ever told you that there is any poison/medicine in this world that can kill people so much? β
He was not surprised at all when he asked, and even felt that he could only interrogate her with a pleasant face at this time, and his patience and bearing were excellent. She returned to the couch and sat upright, and suppressed her voice: "Don't hide it from the master, the doctor has mentioned one or two things to me." β
The porcelain bowl that shook between Yongque's fingers stopped: "Oh? β
He was surprised that she was so cheerful.
Qin slowly added in a whisper: "I stayed for a short time, he only said one or two." β
has been delayed for a day, and Yongque has patience with her: "One or two is better than nothing." β
At the beginning, Qin Chu didn't want to hide it, the sound of the lake crackling on the stone shore leaked through the window paper in the distance, and her soft voice was as thin as the green smoke floating on the head of a candle flame and broke off as soon as she pinched it: "I saw Ren Zhongping that day, and after mentioning the death of the water ghost thirteen to him, he told me that there were no internal or external injuries on my body, and it must have been caused by poisoning." And the poison in it is a thing that was introduced to Middle-earth from the Western Regions, and its name is very peculiar, it is called ......" She wrinkled the tip of her nose, thought about it for a moment, and looked at Yongque uncertainly, "Eighteen mirrors? β
"Eighteen Mirror ......" Yongque heard of this strange poison for the first time, if what Qin Que said was true, then he was really shallow. Thinking that Dongchang's eyes and ears are all over the world, and he is also in charge of the internal affairs of the imperial city, what kind of rare things are not in the palace in this world.
Qin Slow then roughly described the poisonous hair of the Eighteen Mirrors in a few words, only skimming over the paragraph where Ren Zhongping guessed that there might be some hiding in the palace.
Until she finished speaking, Yongque's face was still unmoving, which inevitably made her slightly disappointed.
The two of them had their own thoughts, looked at each other for a while, and suddenly there was a grunt in the quiet room, Yongque looked at it in surprise, Qin Slow's pale little face rarely rose an inch of red clouds, she covered her stomach and smashed her mouth: "I'm hungry...... Overseer. β
"......" Yongque's eyelids jumped heavily.
Which woman in the imperial city is not born to be taught the rules of etiquette by a special person, not to mention that her stomach is so hungry that her stomach is screaming, even if she has not eaten a mouthful of rice grain for three days, the person standing there is not squinting, and his eyes are as straight as loose. It's like this hairy wild girl in front of you!
On weekdays, it doesn't matter if she starves to death or starves, he doesn't even bother to give her a straight eye!
Qin Slow is the biggest master of the Great Five Organs Temple of Heaven and Earth, she saw Yongque taking care of her, she rubbed down from the couch with her face salivating, and called him timidly: "Governor, I'm hungry......"
After sitting in this seat for more than ten years, it is the first time that I have met someone who dares to be cheeky with him! He didn't want to pay attention to her, so she took two steps forward and said, "Overseer, it's time for dinner." Aren't you hungry? β
"......" he sighed in his heart, and once again said to himself, what are you talking about with a yellow-haired girl.
"Come on, don't be a fool. Jiang Xin downstairs, they should have prepared their meals. After he finished speaking, he didn't look at her, and just lifted his robe and left.
When he went out on an errand and brought a cook, Qin Slow, who consciously kept up, sighed, I really don't know if it is hypocritical or exquisite?
"Also, do you have small print?" Cheng Qin's girl, Qin's girl, made him tired.
Qin Slow smelled the fragrance of rice wafting up, and his soul was almost gone: "I don't have a word or a nickname, just call me Qin Slow." β
Ah, she smelled the long-lost smell of meat, and Qin Slow's remaining souls flew directly, and she didn't care about what she said: "Or just like my master, tell me to take it slowly." β
Slowly? Qin slow? Please take your time? Yongque chewed and sneered, and directly laughed at Huo An, who came up, and his words trembled unsteadily: "Governor...... Oh, Gongzi, Miss, Jiang asked the little one to ask if he could serve the table? β
Qin was stunned, Yongque glanced at her, snorted lightly and went downstairs with his conceited hands.
With her virtue, where does she look like a little/sister!
There are many people in the East Factory, few of them are familiar with a unique skill such as Qin Guan, and many of them are good martial arts, and there are few people like Jiang Xin who are good at cooking. The so-called times create heroes, this is the celebrant and the admiral, Dongchang Gong Yongque prefers his Huaiyang cuisine, and he is indispensable when he goes out.
With the blessing of Tuo Yongque, Qin Slow was able to taste the craftsmanship of the imperial chef in a rural town like Taiping Town. It's just that......
The table was full of verdant meat, and the only dish with a bit of meat was a plate of scrambled eggs with shrimp.
"The Overseer doesn't eat red meat." Huo An whispered in her ear.
Qin Chu didn't react at all, he lowered his head and picked up the bowl and picked up the rice quietly.
She doesn't ask for much, just a bowl of rice to satisfy her stomach, a tile to cover the rain, and a shop to sleep peacefully, which is enough for her.
Yongque didn't seem to hear the whispers of the two, elegantly picked up the chopsticks, and said lightly before eating: "Eat more, you have to hurry in the middle of the night." β
What? Qin Xuan, who had not closed his eyes from early morning until now, was stunned.
βββββββββββββ
In the middle of the night, the fog on the lake has been swept away by gusts of wind, and the peaceful and graceful Taiping Lake during the day suddenly changed its face at night, and the stormy waves rushed to the ships moored at the pier to the east and west.
There was a bud moon in the sky, thin into eyebrows, and a few stars accompanied it by a few stars, looking coldly at the shore and a few people.
Outside the dock, a half-sized boat sank in the water, and even though the waves continued to wash in, it only shook slightly, showing that the draft was very deep.
Yongque glanced at the sky and stepped onto the boat: "The hour is almost up, let's start the boat." β
Qin Slow, who was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, was almost dragged onto the boat by Huo Anlian, but fortunately, although the sparrows were small and had all the organs, the inner cabin of the small boat was fully covered, and Yongque sat down, and Qin Slow had already planted a pillow in his arms.
The two of them had their own side, and neither of them paid attention to the other. However, as soon as the boat with the anchor pulled out entered the water, the shaking amplitude suddenly increased, Qin Slow was so shaken that he couldn't sleep, and the dizziness poured down by the ginger tea rushed to his brain again, she turned over in frustration, hugged the pillow and quietly looked at the roof of the shed where the bats hung upside down, she slowly said: "Overseer, the dock people said that there are big fish in the lake, what should I do if I hit the boat at night?" β
There was no sound at all on Yongque's end, and Qin slowly thought that he might be asleep, so he sighed unconsciously. Nothing is more envious to her than a good night's sleep, and no matter what worries she has, a good night's sleep will disappear......
"I know water." There was a cold sound from the cabin.
Qin opened his mouth slowly, but quickly flattened it again, and said aggrievedly: "I won't ......"
He responded indifferently and ruthlessly: "Then I can only wronged you to sacrifice your life to feed the big fish, so as to save more than a dozen lives on this ship." β
"Woo......"
It is already difficult to sail against the current, encountering strong winds and waves, and the boat is not small and bumpy like a lonely leaf in the vast Taiping Lake, and there is a sign of turning over at any time. I have to say that all of Yongque's subordinates are capable people, and if you are other boatmen, I am afraid that you will not be able to control the boat and fall into the waves.
After walking forward with difficulty for nearly an hour, Qin Slow, who was lying on the blanket and smelling mint leaves, suddenly stood up and listened carefully: "The overseer......" She didn't wait for him to answer her, and continued, "The fish is coming." β
Before the words fell, there was a loud bang, and the hull of the ship tilted suddenly!
"Yikes!" Qin slowly screamed, and the person rolled to the side like a hemp ball.
Yongque's eyelids were not raised, and with a slight kick of the soap boots under her feet, a beauty who rolled over flew straight towards Qin Slow, and when she could block the forehead she bumped into, she saw her twist her waist in panic, just avoiding the wooden sheath that spit out.
There was a glimmer of almost invisible brilliance in his eyes.
The murderous thing in the water seemed to turn over, and the huge waves brought up made the lonely boat spin, and I don't know what method the fans outside used, so shocked and changed, the boat still did not capsize.
The frightened Qin Slow almost cried and asked, "Overseer, where are we going?" β
The man in the brocade coat in the upside-down cabin did not move, and wrote lightly: "Nai He Bridge." β
