Chapter Eighty-Four: Cat and Mouse, Profiteers, and Tricks (2)
Zhao Si intuitively looked at the visitor, and saw that he was covered with a yellow tuanhua shoulder to shoulder robe, a white middle coat inside, and a green gauze coat underneath, which was actually dressed as a noble son, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly bowed and smiled: "Gongzi Mingjian, it is the cat that is worth a thousand gold."

Zhou Fuxiang smiled and said, "Tianqiao, don't stop him, let him come in and find him." At noon, I also heard Brother Zheng and Third Brother Huo say that there is such a rare thing. As he spoke, he said to Zhao Si, "We have been in the house for a long time, and we have never seen a cat run in, but since it was lost in the inn, we may also be suspicious, so please ask this brother to go inside and search for it, and it will save you from panic." ”
Zhao Si clasped his hands into fists and bowed twice, and really pretended to pace in, his eyes kept turning, just looking at whether there were any others in the house.
Qiao'er followed him and walked straight to Zhou Fuxiang's side, her calm face was so displeased, Zhou Fuxiang looked at her carefully, and couldn't help but ask her in a low voice: "What's the matter, who are you angry with?" ”
Qiao'er snorted, and her chin only nodded a little towards the room. Zhou Fuxiangfang understood, grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "Why bother with him, he lost such a valuable thing, so he was naturally anxious, if he was offensive in his words, you just didn't hear it." ”
Qiao'er sneered: "My ears are so long, why didn't I hear it?" I'm just angry that this guy is too annoying. ”
It's rare for her to play with a little temper like this, Zhou Fuxiang is used to seeing Qiao'er's words and deeds in front of him, and he has also seen him young and old, and now looking at him with a jade face and eyes, his eyes are dyed with ice, he is so cute, he can't help but stretch out his finger and tap a little on his cheek, and said with a smile: "You, it's just that your temperament is too weird." ”
Qiao'er asked him to say this, and he felt hypocritical, so he couldn't help laughing. The two have lived together in a room for a long time, they are closer than others, and they are still young, and they have never thought about it, Qiao'er seems to have been familiar with Zhou Fuxiang's occasional intimate behavior. It's just that such an intimacy naturally contains a different kind of thought in the eyes of others.
Qingping is a person who knows Qiao'er's heart very well, and it is not unsurprising to see that the two of them behave differently from others, and Zhou Fuxiang has always obeyed Qiao'er's heart. After being surprised, she was uneasy, she knew that Zhou Fuxiang must not have understood Qiao'er's true identity, and she also knew that Mrs. Zhou had her own ideas about Zhou Fuxiang's marriage, if Qiao'er and Zhou Fuxiang continued to mess around day by day, then how should she get along when she was older?
She thought too far ahead, and she couldn't turn the corner for a while. Mingyue in the house had already stared at Zhao Sili and searched outside, and she didn't even see a cat's tail. Zhao Si reluctantly followed Mingyue out of the door, seeing that he had fallen short, he was only annoyed that he had not planned well. When Qiao'er saw him come out empty-handed, she only thought that what she expected was good, and she couldn't help but be ridiculed again, and Zhao Si had to disturb and leave.
The next day, Zhou Fuxiang heard Zheng Yue say that he met Wen Rushui's little maid to celebrate his birthday, and learned that Wen Rushui and Zhang Gengfang Datong were both living in Quaid Building, so he took his four sons Wu'er to meet with him in Quaid Building early in the morning to catch up with him. Because Mingyue came to ask Qiao'er if she was going, Qiao'er was worried about going out to meet Jia Huan yesterday, so she turned down his invitation under the pretext that she was unwell. Zhou Fuxiang saw that he was so lazy and not a day or two, he just thought that he was like this, but it was not easy to force it, and asked if he needed to bring something back, Qiao'er casually said two pastries, and he went out to Quaid Building.
In the evening, the attacker sent the little girl to find out, and when he heard that Zhou Fuxiang was not there, he came to talk to the two of them, and told him about what Brother Sui did that day, and said: "Have you heard, there has been a lot of chaos in the city recently." ”
Apple said, "We have been in the house all day, where can we listen to the news outside, and why is there chaos in the city?" ”
Raider: "We also went to the house of King Beijing to sing in the hall, and listened to what people said, it was a prince in the palace who was cut off because of his youth and indulgence and carelessness. ”
Well? Qingping and Qiao'er were not surprised, the prince was cut off from the clan but it had never happened, and it must not be as simple as indulging in it just because of his youth. Qiao'er lowered her head and silently thought about the game of chess played by the two princes that day, and wanted to say to the prince that he would hurt the enemy by one thousand and lose eight hundred, and think that the idea that he came up with was actually used in this matter?
Looking up at the attacker lightly, Qiao'er knew that what she heard would not be so simple, so she instinctively asked: "Dare to ask my sister, which prince was cut from the clan?" ”
The attacker sneered: "How can I say this, I just said a few words by hearsay, and I didn't inquire so carefully." ”
Qiao'er smiled, unconsciously stroked her slender fingers, and said after a while: "Since my sister doesn't want to say it, I won't ask, but there is one thing I still need to ask my sister for." ”
The attacker hurriedly said: "What does the girl have to say, I can't afford to ask for advice." ”
Apple also said, "I'm curious, what do you ask her?" ”
The corners of Qiao'er's lips pursed, and Qingping only looked at her paint-like eyes, and her face suddenly became resolute, but Wen Tun said firmly: "Sister, have you ever heard Boss Jiang mention the fall of our Jiafu?" ”
The attacker's eyes flashed slightly, and he lowered his head uncomfortably, and his heart only fluttered, and it was like a sinking stone into the water, swaying for a moment without landing. She sat so gently, only showing her half-moon-like side cheeks, and the corners of her lips were biting lightly, clearly wanting to speak.
Apple didn't expect Qiao'er to suddenly mention these things, so she was stunned and asked her, "Where did the girl hear something?" ”
Qiao'er only looked at the attacker and was silent, and couldn't help sighing in her heart, sure enough, there was no secret to the raid that day. Since ancient times, the four forces of Jia Shi Wang Xue have been intertwined for a long time, and the king's suspicion is also reasonable, any mistake may put them in a catastrophe, but why does she still have to investigate the internal reasons?
With a slight wry smile, Qiao'er could only comfort herself, probably she still had the blood in her bones that her mother couldn't rub sand in her eyes, and she was unwilling to be slaughtered like this.
Because of this incident, it was inconvenient to say more, so I couldn't stay longer, so I said a few other words, and then got up and took the maids back to the room. When he went out, Zhao Si was still standing in the courtyard and circling around, and the attacker had to persuade him a few words: "This minister, if you are looking for a cat, please go elsewhere, Zhou Gongzi in this backyard is busy taking the exam, but I am afraid that I can't afford to delay." ”
Zhao Si saw that her servants were surrounded by clouds, and the maids were around, and knew that she was the wife of the master of the Jiazi Opera Troupe, although she was not a big person, she couldn't afford to offend after all, so she hurriedly smiled and stepped aside, bowed down and said: "What Mrs. taught is that the villain will leave now, and he will leave." ”
The attacker nodded lightly, and then took the maid back to the room. Seeing her walk away, Zhao Si exhaled lightly, spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, rubbing his hands with hatred, obviously what the master said that day was very true, the person he was looking for was in this inn, and now he was making trouble inside and out, why couldn't he find it?
Unwillingly glanced at the closed doors and windows in the courtyard, Zhao Si took a deep breath, temporarily withdrew his troops, and went back to find a way out.
Zhou Fuxiang and his entourage gathered for wine and fun in the Quide Building, and did not return until sunset in the evening, when Apple had already served Qiao'er to wash up and was combing the grate for him in the east room. Zhou Fuxiang came in with a big red bamboo pattern begonia two-layer box, and when he saw the two of them in the house, he smiled unconsciously and said: "You two have been sitting in the house for a long time, you should go out and play." ”
Qiao'er pursed her lips and smiled, looked at the food box and said, "What's in it?" ”
Zhou Fuxiang brought it all the way to him: "The four kinds of dim sum in it, seeing that you like to eat rose cake that day, I will ask them to only pick up the sweet ones, the top crispy tart, the rose roll, the cypress cake, the plum cinnamon chrysanthemum cake, you can taste it to meet your taste." ”
When Qiao'er heard this, she grabbed her braid and got up, approached Zhou Fuxiang's side, and saw him open the lid of the box, so she took a look at it, and the dim sum was quite exquisite, so she smiled and said: "That's good, but I bought too much." ”
Mingyue was coming back from the place of worship and worship boxes in the west room, and said with a smile when she heard it: "Brother Qiao'er still doesn't know his temperament, he remembers every word of a sentence you say, and when I came, I also said that I didn't need to buy so much, but he didn't believe it, and said that if you eat it like that, you can try it in a different way." ”
Mingyue and Qiao'er both smiled and thanked Zhou Fuxiang, and Qingping turned around and Mingyue to clean up Zhou Fuxiang's bed, forgetting that the braids on her head hadn't been taken care of yet. Qiao'er didn't call her when she saw this, but just grabbed a handful with her hand and was about to stuff it into the net. Zhou Fuxiang happened to see it from the side, and hurriedly took his whip and said with a smile: "It's not sorted out here, let me come." ”
Qiao'er immediately jumped away, her face turned red and red, and it was inconvenient to open her mouth to catch him up, so she bit her lip and whispered no, and hurriedly put on a fine black mesh scarf.
Zhou Fuxiang saw that he refused, he was also very uncomfortable, he covered his mouth and coughed twice, and he caught a glimpse of Qiao'er standing beside the candlestick, and the smooth candlelight reflected on her face, becoming more and more dazzling and beautiful. As if to cover up Fang Cai's panic, Qiao'er reached out to grab the pastries on the table and ate them slowly, not daring to look up.
Zhou Fuxiang saw that she was in a lovely mood, and couldn't help but be infatuated, only suspecting that Qiao'er was a daughter, and then thought that Qiao'er had a sister who looked similar to her, and suddenly blurted out: "Last time, you said that your family lives in the capital, how far is it from here?" ”
Qiao'er didn't know what he meant, and glanced over at him: "What is Yanqing asking for?" ”
Zhou Fuxiang was stunned for a long time, then lowered his head and smiled: "I always see you living in your grandmother's house, but I haven't asked where your family lives in the capital, now that we are coming to Beijing, it is better to visit the house one day, and you can also go back to see the second elder and sister in the family." ”
Qiao'er didn't expect him to think of this, and his heart panicked, and his intuition swallowed the unchewed pastry in his mouth, and he couldn't help but get stuck in his throat and cough non-stop. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
