Xuanhui was shocked, and remembered that the ear was in the purse of the dress. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info pretended to be silent on his face, touched his ears with his hand, and said, "It's really gone, I don't feel anything, I thought it was there all along...... Maybe the horse ran upside down. ”

When Concubine Xian heard this, she said anxiously, "What are you doing riding so fast?" Even earrings can be turned upside down! If you do this again, you won't be allowed to go!" ”

Xuanhui secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly coquettishly said: "What the mother concubine said is true! I won't be like that again! Seriously, I'll ride slowly for the rest of the day. Do you say it's good? After that, he pretended to ask someone to go to Xiyuan to find it.

Concubine Xian said: "That's it." The minions are very slippery, go to find them now, where else can you find them? It's just a reward. ”

Xuanhui secretly stuck out her tongue and began to coquettishly ask Concubine Xian to eat.

When Pei Minzhong moved out of the Xiping Marquis Mansion, he did not live in the mansion of the Chengguo Mansion in the capital, but bought a four-entry courtyard in Changqingfang, not far from the imperial city. On weekdays, there is only one master in this house, and a dozen or so domestic servants brought from Jinling, as well as slaves bought in the capital.

At this time, Pei Minzhong was standing in front of the bookcase in the study and writing in big characters, but he was thinking about today's case in his heart.

Combined with the answers of those oarsmen, the tone of Steward Chen, and the news heard by his subordinates, Pei Minzhong was almost certain that the case was related to the Cheng'en Mansion. There is a master in the house who is very short of money to spend, so he thought of forming a new dragon boat team with no name to defeat the winning general Fuyuan Dart Game. If you had put a lot of money on the dragon boat team of Chen Ji Grain Store in the gambling house in advance, today's victory would have made a profit of tens of thousands of taels of silver. The news from the subordinates from various gambling houses in the capital confirmed this speculation.

The person who set up the game was very shrewd, and first found the dragon boat team of the original Chunwang Mansion to ensure that Chen Ji would definitely be able to participate in the competition on May 15. At the same time, this person is very ruthless, or he is in urgent need of a large sum of money, so that he can be ruthless and use two lives to ensure that he wins the game.

With this in mind, Pei Min Center was slightly cold. This case is presided over by the Shuntian Mansion, and it is not a matter under the jurisdiction of Jinyiwei. When he wanted to ignore it, he really couldn't bear it.

Those oarsmen, although they have a skill, are still coolie sellers after all. Maybe he served in King Chun's Mansion that day and could save a few rewards. But when a person reaches middle age, he goes so suddenly, leaving behind a family, and he feels sad when he thinks about it.

But if he wants to give justice to the deceased, Pei Minzhong doesn't know if he can afford it. It is taboo to interfere with other people's duties beyond his authority, although his title of son is superb, but after all, the official title with real power is only a fourth-grade official in Jinyiwei. is still the power-leaning Chengen Gong of the government and the opposition, and if he is not careful, he will affect his father.

Pei Minzhong's brows became tighter and tighter, and the words under his hands became more and more stagnant. He threw the pen aside with a "snap" and sat down in his chair in contemplation. Perhaps, the only feasible thing is to present all that he knows to the emperor. Although he also thinks that the emperor's chances of winning against Shangcheng Engong are very small, it is man-made after all. If you don't do it, you will have no chance of winning.

He was about to call someone in to pack up the bookcase, when the door to the study opened, and a pretty figure walked in.

"Shizi, Fang Cai Rong really took a burden and handed it to you. The slave and maid looked like clothes, so they were ready to pack it up and wash it before giving it to you. Unexpectedly, one of the purses in the baggage contained a pair of earrings. You see......"

This maid's name is Qibi, and she was once the personal maid of Pei Minzhong's grandmother, Mrs. Chengguo. Because Pei Minzhong wanted to stay in the capital to be the prince's companion, Mrs. Tai sent Qibi over to serve.

Qi Bi is one year older than Pei Minzhong, almost seventeen, born with apricot eyes and peach cheeks, pretty and lovely. Speak softly, unhurriedly. She is delicate and very good at needlework.

Pei Minzhong listened to Qi Bi's words and knew that she had unwrapped the baggage that contained the clothes worn by Xuanhui without permission, and she was a little annoyed in her heart. He said coldly: "Rong Zhen, have you ever asked you to dismantle and wash it before giving it to me?" ”

Qi Bi heard that his tone was wrong, and hurriedly pleaded guilty: "The son of the world is angry!" It's the servant who is good at it! Pei Escort didn't explain anything, he thought it was the clothes you changed when you went out today, and thought that he would wash them first before ......"

Pei Minzhong interrupted her and said, "Grandmother didn't send you here to let you find out what I do on weekdays, right?" ”

Qi Bi hurriedly knelt down, his eyes were already full of tears, and he said aggrievedly: "Shizi, how can you let the servant deal with himself by saying such things!" The maid thought that the prince was alone in the capital, and there was no one to take care of things around him, so he thought that he would worry more about himself......"

Pei Minzhong said impatiently: "No need! Just keep yourself to your part. If there is such a thing in the future, I will not spare it! Go and bring me that baggage, with all the clothes and ears in it. Go back and think about what is your duty! ”

Qibi got up, wiped the corners of his eyes, and went to get the baggage. She glanced at Pei Minzhong aggrievedly, and when she saw that he didn't look at herself, she was secretly annoyed in her heart, and Ying Ying gave a salute and withdrew.

Pei Minzhong took out the pair of earrings from his purse and looked at them carefully. This is a pair of white jade ears, the whole body is crystal flawless, and the polishing is very smooth and delicate. Both earrings are large and thin in the middle, the back end is slightly pointed, and the front end is polished into a bead style. Holding it in the hand is slightly weighty, and it looks small and cute, just like her.

It took him a long time before he carefully put them back in his purse, and then put them in the drawer under the bookcase.

In the past few days, Xuanhui has not been able to block Pei Minzhong in Chongwen Hall. He always seemed to come in when the hour came, and as soon as he left school, he went straight out of the palace through the door of the male school. After a few days, Xuanhui gradually forgot about the earring.

On this day, she accompanied Concubine Xian to Cining Palace to greet the Queen Mother, but she ran into the queen, the concubine, and the eldest princess.

The concubine was talking about King Yu's choice of concubine: "...... The saint said that Cui Shilang of the Criminal Department and Master Feng of the Hanlin Academy are all knowledgeable and loyal to the country. Cui Shilang's eldest daughter and Feng's second daughter are both twenty-eight years old, and they are as good as Yuwang. What does the Queen Mother think? ”

The Queen Mother smiled indifferently and said, "I haven't seen these two ladies again, so it sounds naturally good." You all have ideas, so don't worry about the old woman. ”

The concubine gritted her teeth in her heart, the last time she was so atmospheric, it wasn't because she didn't ask her. This time, I gave enough face, and I came to ask and put on a face. However, the Queen Mother had a sentence that matched her wishes, so she smiled and said: "The Queen Mother is right! These ladies are all famous. Where can we know what is going on in the deep palace? If you want me to say, call the young ladies of the two families to come to the palace to sit, and the queen mother will also give King Yu a palm. What do you think? ”
