After the meal, Yan Zhi walked up to Zhu Qingheng with the invitation and asked, "Is the girl going to Miss Xu San's appointment at noon?" ”

Zhu Qingheng wiped his hands and said, "Naturally." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Then Chunjun accompanied Mrs. Ling. Mrs. Ling's bedroom was still lit with a thick plum fragrance, and the white silk tent was still put down, only showing her shadowy figure. Zhu Qingheng had felt that this shadow was really thinner, but he never thought that there would be a skeleton behind it.

I heard Mrs. Ling's soft voice sound: "Did you quarrel with you last night?" The tone was very kind, but with a hint of tiredness.

Zhu Qingheng licked his lips and smiled: "After Chunjun woke me up, I didn't dare to sleep." ”

Mrs. Ling said: "If the master is not here, they will make too much of a fuss." You didn't sleep well last night, do you still have the energy to play with Xu Yatou? Do you want someone to talk to her and say you'll go next time? ”

Zhu Qingheng said in her heart: "Is she doubting that she refuses to let herself out of the house?" Or is it simply thoughtful? She wasn't sure for a while, thought about it, and said with a smile: "I sleep during the day, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night." Anyway, I don't have much to do right now, but if it's inconvenient right now, forget it. ”

Mrs. Ling said, "What's so inconvenient. ”

The two said a few more words, and then asked Zhu Qingheng to go back. Zhu Qingheng went out of the door, and was blown by the wind, only to realize that he was in a cold sweat. This summer shirt is thin, and I don't know if it's through or not. After settling down, he said, "It's okay left and right, let's go to the West Courtyard to see Brother Luo." ”

Chunjun was puzzled: "It's not convenient now." ”

Zhu Qingheng said: "What's the matter?" Chunjun didn't say this when she went to the West Courtyard before.

Chunjun said: "The thief was not caught yesterday, and the doors of the east and west courtyards were sealed. Either the girl sent someone to see if the door was open again. ”

Zhu Qingheng's heart froze, and he said casually: "Oh? What do you do by sealing that door? ”

Chunjun looked around and said in a low voice, "I heard that the thief last night may have come in from the West Courtyard." ”

Zhu Qingheng sighed in her heart, and carefully recalled what happened last night, she didn't think that she showed anything last night, nor did she think that there were really thieves who broke in last night, why did she suddenly have this statement? Laughed dryly: "Then forget it." It's never too late to go back when you find out. ”

Zhu Qingheng returned to the room, and it became more and more difficult to sit still. She saw that although the maids in the house were acting as usual, the laughter and laughter of the past were almost gone. Occasionally, one or two guards with knives would walk by the door, all burly and tall, and they didn't know what to patrol. I don't know if she has a ghost in her heart, or if there is really something, she always feels that someone in the dark has been watching her, waiting for her to show her feet.

After a while, Yan Zhi waited for her to change into the clothes that came to the guest, and went to the box to find the jewelry to wear. Zhu Qingheng took advantage of this time to check his things, and when he saw the five letters pressed under the pillow, his heart was cold and astringent, and he couldn't help but think: "That Mrs. Ling didn't know what it used to be, but now she has become a skeleton. This family has problems, and Ling Gongzi must also have problems. Daddy, how can you be willing to marry me to this family? ”

But where will the envelope answer her.

He took out Mrs. Xi's sword book from the package, and the jade bottle containing the last Great Turning Pill, and carried these letters in his arms. After a while, Xiuba came over and said, "Girl, the car is ready." ”

Zhu Qingheng nodded and ordered: "Yan Zhi will go out with me, Chunjun, you can stay here and watch the house." If anything is important, send someone to tell me. ”

Chunjun was suspicious that when she met with Miss Xu San before, she made Zhu Qingheng hate her by saying the wrong thing, or watching Chunque use herself as a raft to belittle Zhu Qingheng made her think more, so she smiled and said: "Guangyanzhi, this girl, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of the girl." ”

Zhu Qingheng smiled: "Then let Xiuba go with you." You also know that the house is in a mess now, and we have to keep a principal in the room. ”

Chunjun was sure in his heart, nodded and said yes.

So Zhu Qingheng went out with Yanzhi and Xiuba. The banquet held by the third girl was in the courtyard of her family on the outskirts of Luoyang, and the carriage walked a short way, Zhu Qingheng suddenly stopped, lifted the curtain and said, "I see that this pastry on the side of the road is very novel, Yanzhi, do you know what this is?" ”

Yan Zhi said: "It's a peony cake, and it's also our specialty." If the girl wants to eat, go back and ask the kitchen to make one. ”

Zhu Qingheng said: "Why is it so troublesome, I think this child who sells cakes is also pitiful, just buy a few here and try it." So when he got out of the car, Yan Zhi was stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed.

Zhu Qingheng walked up to the child who was carrying a basket and selling peony cakes, the child was about seven or eight years old, and there were a few patches on his brown shirt. Seeing them coming, he was not afraid, grinned, and showed the gums that were missing a few teeth: "Two sisters, do you want to buy cakes?" ”

Zhu Qingheng said: "How much does your cake cost?" ”

The child said: "Wuwen one, these are all peonies grown by the family, but they are sweet." ”

"I want three." Zhu Qingheng said and took out the money bag, took out the copper coin, and said to Yan Zhi beside him, "Yan Zhi, can you help me go there and buy a bowl of rock sugar pear water?" Yan Zhi naturally responded. Zhu Qingheng saw her turn around, handed the twenty wen to the child, the child took oil paper wrapped four and handed it to her, Zhu Qingheng broke one of them and stuffed a paper ball into it, put it in the child's basket, and then pressed his basket and said, "I want you to do me a favor, this ingot of silver is all yours." ”

The child blinked and smiled, "You say." ”

"You go to sell cakes outside the west courtyard of the Yingwu Marquis's Mansion, blow this whistle, and a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old wearing a blue cloth coat will come out. When the time comes, give him all this basket of bread. Remember, this basket of bread can't be sold to anyone else. ”

The boy took the silver, put the whistle around his neck, and nodded his head in good faith.

☆☆☆

The courtyard of the Xu family is very exquisite, and the courtyard also deliberately attracts the water of the Luo River to surround the rockery in the courtyard, with red flowers and willow green, warblers singing and swallows dancing, a prosperous image. The eldest girl who came to be a guest was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was the daughter of Qu Shangshu in the middle of the court, but she was not the most proud here, except for the master of Miss Xu San, who was another Xing girl. This Miss Xing is not only Miss Qu's cousin, but also the unfinished wife of Miss Xu's second brother. Therefore, he often helps next to Miss Xu San.

The girl Qu was very neglected during the banquet, and Zhu Qingheng listened to it, only to know that this girl Qu was the girl who was invited to the palace by Concubine Shu to a banquet and was framed for breaking the hosta. Zhu Qingheng was very sympathetic to her because she had heard the gossip about this from Lotus before. Even if you are framed, it is still such a clumsy method. But the little emperor was confused enough to believe it. And she heard the girl next to her that she knew that the hosta was a relic of the little emperor's biological mother, and it was the only thing brought from outside the palace in the past, and the history went back to a long time ago.
