Chapter VI Stratagem

The autumn afternoon sun penetrated the porch and fell on Zige's pillow, and her long eyelashes left a half-bright light and shadow under her eyes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoA soothing incense burns quietly, and the room is filled with a faint aroma of herbs.

"Brother Zhen......"

A barely audible whisper escaped from the corner of Zige's lips. She lay on her back on the couch with her eyes slightly closed, a faint smile on her face.

After more than 20 days of tiring carriage and horses, and thinking about it all the time, Zige always had trouble sleeping at night. Fortunately, with Hongshang by her side, she prepared incense and decoction remedies, and her complexion gradually improved.

"You and your sister...... When will you get married......

Hongshang was sitting aside sorting out the letters, and when she heard the words, she glanced up at her, and her expression changed slightly.

"Ge'er, what do you remember?" She said softly, seeing that Zige was still asleep, her eyes fell back on the letter in her hand.

These days, after they left Luzhou, they went all the way north, passing through Qing and Liang Prefectures, and entered the territory of Yongzhou at this time, which was not long before the capital Jiangdu. After saying goodbye to Li Jing, the Marquis of Ruyin, their journey was not smooth, and it can even be said that they had frequent adventures.

In the small town of Qingzhou, wild beasts disturbed the villagers of a village, repeatedly destroying crops and stealing poultry. After Zige asked the reason, he left a bag to guide the villagers to set a trap to trap the beast. In the end, they found that all the so-called disasters were all played by the village chief, so that they could fish in troubled waters and win people's hearts.

In Shengjing, the capital of Liangzhou, they once met a wealthy businessman who cried bitterly on the street about the disappearance of his eldest daughter, and the government was powerless to search for the culprit. Zige walked around his house and asked a series of questions, and then he knew the cause and effect of the incident. But she didn't say a word, and still left only a bag to break her plan. It turned out that the merchant's concubine had lost her father, and ordered the merchant's daughter to be taken away and hidden under the coffin, hoping to take the opportunity to bury her alive so that his son could embezzle the family wealth. Fortunately, when the merchant learned of this, he arrived in time and rescued his daughter unscathed. When he looked back and wanted to thank Zige, he found that she had already left.

……

There are many similar things. In addition, Zige also relieved the difficulties of the people who met in Pingshui, offered advice to the government, and sought justice for injustice. With the power of Qingluan's retribution, she knows everything about her surroundings, and she can often point out problems with a sharp point when she speaks.

However, Zige has been benevolent and righteous all the way, although she has made a lot of friendships, but it also makes her exhausted, just now she was obviously discussing the situation in Beijing with Hongsheng, but she fell asleep unconsciously.

Hongshang pursed her lips and smiled, looking at her carefree sleeping face, secretly curious. The outrageous and grinning song I used to know, but now it seems that he has grown dozens of years older overnight, not only is his words and deeds more stable and generous, but there is also a little more indescribable and unclear sorrow between his eyebrows.

Just when she was out of her mind, the door was pushed open forcefully, and Mu Lijun dragged a young man into the house with a smile on his face.

"Junjun! The song is still resting......"

Hongshang hurriedly lowered the curtain to cover it, but saw that Zige had opened his eyes alertly, sat up and looked at the two.

"Junjun, why are you so rude? Hurry up and let go of Lord Liang. ”

Zige said solemnly, changing the conniving attitude of turning a blind eye on weekdays. Mu Lijun knew that Zige was really angry this time, so he gently placed the man in the banquet, and then stood aside obediently.

"Big brother, I'm sorry, Jun Jun didn't mean to."

His eyes are bright, and when he speaks, he is cute and cute, which is hard to breathe.

"That's it, childish ignorance, and blame me for not lingering in front of the girl's room." Lord Liang straightened his clothes and nodded to Zige, "In Xia Liang Zhongzhi, for Changping Taishou, I came here today to thank the girl for her previous help." ”

"Your Excellency, this is just a gesture. But the adults have a heart, and follow all the way here. Zige got off the bed and sat down calmly across from him, "I wonder if Lingtang is okay now?" ”

"The tired girl is worried, she is now at home, and everything is fine." He took out a red cloth bag from his bosom, which was embroidered with a phoenix with jasmine branches, and the needles and threads were all from the hands of the red clothes, which was exquisite, "Thanks to the gift of the girl that day, the family was relieved, and Liang had nothing to reciprocate, so he prepared some small gifts, and I hope to be able to thank the girl in person." ”

"Why be polite, your lord is really polite."

He placed a name tag on the table. "Earlier, I heard that the girl was going to enter Beijing to start a career, and I also have a lot of old friends in Beijing, and I have a little thin ground in my hands. If the girl wants to find a good place to work, she can mention my name to these people. ”

"In this way, An Ge thanked the Lord for this kindness." Zige laughed.

"I don't know what kind of business the girl wants to do? Liang may also be able to help in the future. ”

"An Ge used to sing in a music workshop in Luzhou, but then the music workshop failed, so he had no choice but to go to Beijing to ask for some business. This bag is just an example of Ange's daily frolic with his sisters. Zige pointed to the bag in his hand and smiled faintly.

"The girl has the opportunity to be a ghost, and it is too humble to say that she is frolicking." He raised his glass to replace the wine with tea, and saluted, "Then I wish the girl's new music ......."

"Qingluan Pavilion." Zige added in due course.

“…… Qingluan Pavilion, business is prosperous, everything goes smoothly. ”

Zige also raised his glass and drank it all with a smile.

After Zige sent Liang Zhongzhi away, Hongshang finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "You gave the recipe I wrote before to Lord Liang's mother?" ”

"yes...... I already have a piece of blessed land in Beijing, and if I don't recommend him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get it. Zige sighed, "Along the way, we have done so many things openly and secretly, just to prepare for entering Beijing." ”

"Ange wears makeup at the beginning of July and summer, and the bluebird has nine long songs. But the mirror of the hanging pavilion is there, and the smoke and rain are in the hall. Hongshang playfully recited the poems written casually on the rice paper, "Since it is the old business of Kaile Fang, why are you so tired these days to make wedding clothes for others?" ”

"This music shop is still handed over to Aunt Zhao to take care of, and it is still a guise for Qingluan Newspaper. However, over the years, the development of informants has been stagnant, and I have taken the opportunity to intersect with these people, and I can also know a lot of the dynamics in Beijing, and these people I have made friends with will always come in handy. Zige reached out and rubbed his temples, a hint of tiredness on his face. Seeing this, Mu Lijun stepped forward to pinch her shoulders flatteringly.

"But the Hanging Pavilion Mirror is in the ...... Have you inquired about the whereabouts of this Muhammad Qizhen Mirror? Seeing that there was no one around, Hongshang stepped forward and asked softly.

"Back then, the treasure mirror disappeared mysteriously, and the palace was baptized by a witch curse, and there were few people who knew about it." Zige sighed, "Mu Qizhen was born, and it has been a ...... for thousands of years."

Legend has it that the ancestors opened up the world with the Qizhen Mirror and ordered the three states. This mirror thus gathers the aura of the world, which can show the rise and fall of ancient and modern. The ancestors knew that the people in the world were greedy, and they were afraid that everyone would set off a bloody storm in order to seize this mirror, so they ordered the Mu clan to guard the Qizhen Mirror for generations, and lived in the land of Nanzhou, not involved in world affairs. A hundred years ago, one of the Mu clansmen was unwilling to be subservient, and ran away to help the Xiao family set the world, and later went to Beizhou to establish a country of Xianbei, and Nanzhao's national strength was declining.

Although the Xiao family has a treasure mirror hanging in the hall, but a few generations later, there are playthings and unscrupulous children, who give up this river and mountain to others, the world is in chaos, and the Qizhen mirror is also lost.

This time, Mu Lixuan led the delegation into Beijing, although he explained that he was friendly and secretly wanted to help the Yang family, but Zige also vaguely guessed that Mu Lixuan still had the heart to recover the treasure mirror and revitalize Nanzhao.

"I have entered the territory of Yongzhou, and I will be able to enter Beijing in a few days."

She took the pen and ink, hastily handwritten a volume, muttered slightly, and added another line.

"The city has been obtained."

She looked up at the open window, and saw the rain pigeon falling lightly, cooing at her, and a little smile gradually bloomed in her eyes.
