Chapter 8 Knowing People
Zhao Heqiao touched her ears and said to Zheng Zexin: "She is not stupid, she guessed my identity." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
If you want to say that in the main city, when Zheng Zexin and the young lady get close, they will naturally think of Princess Egret, so Xu Ruowan doesn't dare to provoke heron.
Zheng Zexin said slowly: "Her methods should not be underestimated, and there is a sense of provocation both openly and secretly. It can be seen from just now that Zheng Zeli completely fell under Xu Ruowan's pomegranate skirt.
"Where's your fourth brother?"
"He hasn't been seen since we came in."
"You should be able to see you later," Zhao Heqiao looked downstairs, the lord of Liuyun County announced the start of the song, and ordered someone to bring the guqin, and Xu Ruowan arrived in the expectation of everyone.
Zheng Zexin looked over, and sure enough, he saw Zheng Zeyi.
"Slow!" Zheng Zeyi appeared in a high-profile manner and asked someone to bring in a few things. The screen of birds and flowers, and then put on the curtain made of pearls, he asked people to put out the lights, and opened the wooden box in his hand in the noise of everyone, the two big night pearls in it were bright and dazzling, placed on the left and right of the screen, he walked in front of Xu Ruowan, and said gently: "Good songs should only be in the sky, but they have fallen into the dust, I just want to use the beauty of the world to keep it." β
Xu Ruowan's smile like a spring breeze brightened the audience. She gracefully does it in front of the guqin, her delicate fingers play gently on the strings, the moving sound of the piano is like a song, and the beauty is like being in a hazy fairyland, like a dream......
Several compartments upstairs have opened the curtains, and Zheng Zexin quietly observed the people inside, most of them were some aristocratic sons, only three compartments were relatively secretive, and they were well shielded.
"Xiao Shuai," Zheng Zexin picked up Xiao Shuai and pointed to the three compartments, "Can you see the appearance of the people inside, and describe the appearance of the person you think is the highest." β
Xiao Shuai looked over and nodded.
"The only man sitting looked fierce, with thick eyebrows, medium-sized eyes, a fairly large nose, a thick mouth, and four small moles on his face, one on his forehead, one on his nose, and two on his cheeks." Xiao Shuai pointed to the first compartment.
Zhao Heqiao asked, "What color is his clothes, look at his ears." β
"The clothes were brown, the ears were thick, and there was a red mole on the left ear."
"You move on to the rest."
"Yes. An old man and a man, the man looked better dressed, the eyebrows were very dark and long, like the boss, the eyes were also quite long, the color of the eyeballs was a little blue, the nose was very straight, and the mouth was not thick and medium-large. Ah, there's still ear piercings in her ears, she can't be a, right? Xiao Shuai pointed to the second cubicle.
"Does his hair curl?"
"It's a little, I can't see it if I don't look closely."
"Alright, go ahead."
"This person ......," Xiao Shuai quickly retracted his head, "he seems to have glanced at me." β
Zheng Zexin looked at it, and the third compartment had been curtained.
"It's okay, you're doing well." Zhao Heqiao touched Xiaoshuai's head.
Xiao Shuai expressed helplessness about being touched on the head, but if the other party was Zhao Heqiao, he was too lazy to hide, not only because the other party was the boss's woman, but also convinced him.
"Xiaoshuai, your eyesight is so good!" Zhao Hecai said.
"That's, I'm ...... Trained. Xiaoshuai remembered that Zheng Zexin said not to take the initiative to say his talent, so he immediately changed his words.
Zhao Heqiao looked at Xiao Shuai and said to Zheng Zexin: "Protect him." Such an ability, if coveted by those who have a heart, will cause trouble.
"Xiaoshuai, in the next days in the main city, don't let people find out when you play with the slingshot." Zheng Zexin held his shoulder.
"Can't you find out?"
"No, except for the four of us." He refers to himself, Zhao Hecai, Zhao Heqing, Zhao Hecai,
"Got it."
The strumming downstairs has ended, and there is an uproar.
"Your third brother and fourth brother are probably going to fight." Zhao Heqiao quipped.
Zheng Zexin looked at the two people who were protecting the Dharma next to Xu Ruowan and did not comment.
"While it's lively now, let's hurry up, someone has come to investigate." Zheng Zexin dragged Zhao Heqiao's waist and said to Xiaoshuai; "You pull the lotus, let's go!"
Zhao Heqiao suggested going to the teahouse last time, which was Zhao Heqing's territory.
Zheng Zexin took Zhao Heqiao to the teahouse first, and after a while, Xiaoshuai dragged Zhao Hecai and ran in.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the people in the teahouse quickly closed the door, and through the crack in the door, they saw that someone was passing by and leaving, and this time they were relieved and said to them: "Everything is fine, a few people in the room, please." β
"Boss, I'll work hard when I go back to the camp, I'm tired to death!" Xiao Shuai let go of Zhao Hecai's hand.
The owner of the teahouse hugged Zhao Hecai, who had fainted from exhaustion, to the chair and said to Zheng Zexin: "The fifth master has been notified, wait for a while." β
Zhao Heqiao poured a glass of water for Xiaoshuai and patted him on the back to help him calm down.
Zheng Zexin looked at her worriedly, "Are you okay?" β
She shook her head and said, "I'm not that weak now. β
When Zhao Heqing came, he had already heard a report on their situation, and he couldn't help but show worry.
"What happened?"
"Someone there noticed that they were suspicious of us and came over." Zheng Zexin told the general story.
Zhao Heqing looked at Zhao Heqiao, "Lotus buckwheat, what are the gains?" β
Zhao Heqiao called someone to bring paper and a pen, drew a person on it, and showed it to Xiao Shuai, "Xiao Shuai, is he the first person you see?" β
"Yes, yes, that's him! It's too much of a draw! β
Zhao Heqing glanced at it, "Brother Emperor? β
Zhao Heqiao nodded, "Well, Xu Ruowan's name moved to the main city, and it is not strange that the eldest brother is here." It's just that in this way, it's a little subtle, does he know that Xu Ruowan is his father's pawn? β
Zheng Zexin said: "The eldest prince is not stupid, if he knows something, he can understand that if he participates in the action, the prince who is stable when the emperor's power is stable will not be him, and he will not be willing to do so." β
"Then he has done his best to please the emperor in this matter, and the emperor may give him the throne." Xiaoshuai scratched his head.
Zhao Heqiao touched his head, "Xiaoshuai, you can already think of this, but the tiger father has no dogs, and they are not people who think so simply." β
Xiao Shuai blushed and stopped talking.
"Maybe," Zheng Zexin said his thoughts, "maybe the emperor arranged it?" β
"Oh?" Zhao Heqing motioned for him to continue.
"If the emperor even uses his own son, this makes sense. Xu Ruowan, the daughter of the little imperial doctor, has limited influence, and still needs some fuel, and the eldest prince's ** is also famous. β
"What do you mean is that Xu Ruowan has something to ask for, and he will help, but he doesn't know that the person he helps is actually the person behind Xu Ruowan."
"Yes."
"Makes sense."
"Brother Great Emperor doesn't have to worry about it here for the time being, what he really cares about is the other two forces." Zhao Heqiao said about the people in the second compartment and the third compartment, "I need some time to draw the appearance of the second person, Xiaoshuai, you will talk about it in detail as soon as you go back." β
"Okay.".
"Brother, let's go back to the palace first. Zexin, you also rest early and come tomorrow. β
Zheng Zexin nodded immediately.
Zhao Heqing was a little amused when he saw Zheng Zexin's obedient appearance.
Early in the morning, Zheng Zexin left for the palace after finishing his morning exercise. On the way, a figure rushed over, he wanted to dodge but saw that the other party was Xu Ruowan, so he turned to hold it with his hand, but it was actually blocked.
When Xu Ruowan saw Zheng Zexin, the anxiety on her face turned to reassurance, and she hurriedly pulled him to hide behind a stall.
Zheng Zexin wanted to see what she had in mind, and followed her peeking gaze, Zheng Zeli and Zheng Zeyi were arguing and looking for something, and they both had injuries on their faces.
Zheng Zexin smiled secretly, and sure enough, there was a fight.
"Wan'er, where are you?"
"Shut up, Wan'er is also your name!"
"You just shut up, obviously I met Wan'er first."
"Wan'er gave me a gift!"
"It happened to be your birthday!"
"You ......" the two walked away, still arguing.
Zheng Zexin stood up and felt inexplicable, he didn't have to hide at all.
Xu Ruowan looked at him timidly, her big eyes were about to rain, so she didn't feel wronged, "Brother Zexin, what should I do?" β
Zheng Zexin asked patiently, "What's the matter?" β
"Brother Zeli and Brother Zeyi fought last night, I couldn't persuade them, I finally waited for the two to stop, I didn't expect to quarrel again when I met today, I knew that both of them loved me as a sister, and I felt so sad when I saw that they ruined my feelings for me, so I ran away......" Xu Ruowan's eyes turned red.
When is my sister? Zheng Zexin doesn't think she's that simple. said calmly: "It's okay, brothers often quarrel, you don't have to mind." β
"How can this work," Xu Ruowan pulled his sleeve, a little pitiful, "This matter started because of me, I can't just let it go, Brother Zexin, you help me." β
He couldn't help frowning, why didn't he think that this person in front of him was so pretentious!
The passers-by next to him thought that Zheng Zexin had bullied Xu Ruowan, and they all cast blaming eyes, he subtly pulled his sleeves back, and said pertinently: "It will be fine." "He knew what was next.
Xu Ruowan understood that Zheng Zexin agreed, and said happily: "It's decided, one day everyone will come out to get together, let's get rid of them!" β
"Uh...... "Can you not count him?"
Without waiting for Zheng Zexin to say anything, Xu Ruowan ran away a few steps and looked back and smiled, "Brother Zexin, goodbye!" β
Zheng Zexin sighed, and went to the palace to tell Zhao Heqing about it.
Even the most ignorant Zhao Hecai commented: "She is so thick-skinned!" β
A few people laughed and didn't say anything.
Zhao Heqing took out the portrait drawn by Zhao Heqiao and put it on the table, "Zexin, look." β
"Foreigners?"
Zhao Heqing nodded and said, "Lin Jiaye, the prince of the Fog Shu Kingdom." β
"Wushu is a big country in the west, with a large population, a huge territory, and rich resources, what intersection can we have with this small country in the east, and the prince of a dignified country is so rashly going, it is unreasonable." Even in the previous life, he didn't have this person in his memory, could it be that the emperor wanted to get help from other countries in exchange for some conditions?
"How's Lin Jiaye's reputation?" Zhao Heqiao asked.
Zhao Heqing said: "I have traveled to the country of Wushu, and the local people are full of praise for this person, there is nothing to say about his character and appearance, I have seen it once by chance, and his bearing is really extraordinary." β
"So normally, Jiang Zhu Guoguo has nothing to offer to him." Zhao Heqiao pondered.
"This, it still needs to be checked."
"Let's talk about the third person, Xiaoshuai, you describe it again." Zhao Heqiao looked at Xiao Shuai.
"Oh," Xiao Shuai recalled with a frown, "I looked over that day, and before I could see his appearance clearly, I was startled by the other party's eyes, and I vaguely caught a glimpse of his skin being very white, just like this. Xiao Shuai pointed to the rice paper on the table.
"Xiaoshuai, if you think about it carefully, are the other party's ears and neck so white?"
Xiao Shuai tapped his forehead and recalled the picture again, "It doesn't seem to be, by the way, his face is not white, my eyes flashed at that time, and the other party's face was glowing with silver!" β
Mask! Several people couldn't help but think at the same time.
Zhao Heqiao said: "This person tried his best to hide his identity, maybe someone we know." β
Zhao Heqing groaned, "It is certain that this person is thoughtful and hides deeply. You caught his attention that day, and he won't just do it, so be careful. β
Zheng Zexin responded seriously.
At this time, Zhao Heqing received the information from his subordinates, smiled interestingly, and said to the others: "Do you know how many silver taels were sold at the art fair last night?" He waved three fingers.
"Three thousand taels?" Zhao Heqiao said curiously.
Zhao Heqing shook his head, "Three hundred thousand." β
"Make a fortune!" Xiao Shuai said excitedly, his old man's monthly salary is only thirty taels!
"The so-called art fair, is to collect the Quartet talent works, let people appreciate, meet the favorite things can be purchased, even if it is just to see, but also to pay to talk about the heart, although the organizer has not made this clear, but from the beginning of the people to do so so it has been handed down."
"The wonderful thing is that the so-called Quartet talent works actually come from one place, so all the income is included in one place."
Zheng Zexin and Zhao Heqiao looked at each other, "Qin Wangfu? β
Zhao Heqing smiled, "I have also found some things in Dongcheng these days, the Qin Wangfu will save a lot of money to the local Dahe money village every year, and that money village is actually a killer base, if the king of Qin does things for his father, then these killers are not far from the emperor's people." β
"Brother......" Zhao Heqiao's face was heavy.
Zhao Heqing held her hand and signaled her to feel at ease, "Father and Emperor have given another task, go to Nancheng to check the households, and set off early tomorrow morning." β
Zhao Heqiao frowned, and held his hand tightly, "Take care of your body." β
Zhao Heqing rubbed her face and said gently, "I know." β
Zhao Heqing is leaving, and Xiaoshuai naturally wants to go with Zheng Zexin.
At the gate of the West Ancestral Palace, I saw Zhao Hecai and a young man coming.
"Xiaoshuai, Brother Zexin!" Zhao Hecai took the initiative to say hello.
"Eighth Princess." Zheng Zexin responded, and turned to look at the young man next to her, he had a delicate face, a faint smile on his mouth, a very gentle temperament, wearing a blue moire robe, a slender and upright figure, and a dignified appearance.
"This is Zheng Zexin, the son of Marquis Liwu."
"This is the Fourth Emperor Brother." Zhao Hecai introduced, pointing to the potted plant in Zhao Hefeng's hand, "This is planted by the Fourth Emperor Brother himself, it's beautiful, the Sixth Emperor Sister must like it." β
"The Four Princes." Zheng Zexin made a gesture.
Zhao Hefeng said kindly: "Little General Qiyun." β
Hearing this title, Zheng Zexin couldn't help but smile and said, he is a person with a clear mind.
"We still have to leave beforehand, the fourth prince and the eighth princess, farewell."
"Oh......" Zhao Heqiao looked at Xiao Shuai with some disappointment.
Zheng Zexin smiled, "Xiaoshuai, say goodbye to the eighth princess." β
Xiao Shuai glanced at her, "Goodbye, Eighth Princess." β
In the reluctance of the eighth princess to say goodbye, they left the palace.
As soon as he returned to Zheng's house, Zheng Zexin immediately asked Xiaoshuai to clean up, hurriedly said a word to Zheng Lianghai, and rushed to the barracks.
"Boss, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"
"The situation in the main city will become more and more chaotic, and we can't help if we stay, so we might as well go back to the barracks and do what we have to do."
"Boss, I'm going to do it too!"
"Naturally, you are ......"
Zhao Heqiao played with the slingshot in his hand and handed it to the sullen Zhao Hecai, "Or?" β
Zhao Hecai thought that it was given to the Fifth Emperor Sister by Xiaoshuai, so she didn't want it, and twisted her head.
"Yes," Zhao Heqiao said quietly, "It's a pity that Xiaoshuai has a heart, he said that it is left for you to play." β
Zhao Hecai hurriedly snatched it, "Xiao Shuai is really excessive, I deliberately asked you to give it to me to separate our sisters' feelings!" β
Xiao Shuai in the distance sneezed.
"Got a cold?" Zheng Zexin asked, and made a blanket for him.
Xiao Shuai yawned and closed his eyes, "Boss, you go to bed early, and you have to hurry tomorrow." β
"Yes."
